About This Pub

Ah, The Den – what a spot it is in Harrogate! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really knows how to deliver a good time. The atmosphere is just spot on; it's always buzzing with energy, whether you're there for live music that gets everyone tapping their feet or watching the big match on the screens. The staff stand out too – they're so attentive and friendly, making sure everything runs smoothly, just like in those glowing reviews from folks who've had a blast. And let's not forget the food; those burgers are an absolute winner, with people raving about the quality and how it pairs perfectly with a pint or two. It's even family-friendly, which is great for a casual get-together with games like pool. On the downside, though, the website could do with a bit more meat on the bones – it's a tad sparse, so you might end up scratching your head for more info beforehand. Plus, the opening times aren't always straightforward, and it can get pretty hectic at times, which isn't ideal if you're in the mood for a chilled chat. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a proper pub experience in Harrogate, with plenty of highs and just a few minor niggles to keep it real.

Pros and Cons

  • The food is spot on, especially those burgers – proper tasty and a cut above the rest.
  • Brilliant for sports on the big screens, playing pool, or even hosting family-friendly gatherings like birthday parties.
Cons
  • The website is a bit basic and doesn't offer much detail, so you might need to look elsewhere for the full lowdown before heading over.
  • Operating hours can vary a touch, which might catch you out if you're planning a visit on a whim.
  • It can get quite lively and energetic, so if you're after a more relaxed, quiet evening, it might not quite hit the mark.

Thank you for making my favourite day of the year extra special. Gold cup day is amazing but knowing the work you put in to make it more so was so touching. Food, beers, service and TV was amazing. Can't wait until next year

Booked a couple of pool tables and the darts board for a pre-teen birthday party. Brilliant. Staff were so attentive, the facilities are great and the toilets are amazing. Burgers and chips top drawer. Great place for families to hang out for a couple of games of pool/darts and food.

Went to the Saturday Showcase (Original Live Music) and saw 2 bands - DEFAULT MODE NETWORK modern 70s style rock (think Hendrix/Cream) and HELL FIRE JACK rock duo in style of Royal Blood. Both 5*'s Large open basement venue with side pool tables & large bar. Very much setup for music with a large stage and decent PA sound. The venue has a youthful vibe with drink prices being normal pub prices (~£5/pint) And it was FREE ENTRY What's not to like?
