About This Pub
You know, when I think about The Distiller's Lounge, it's got this really inviting feel that makes you want to settle in straight away. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks rave about the food – think tasty burgers, steak sandwiches, and even pancakes that hit the spot, all made with fresh local ingredients and at prices that feel fair without skimping on quality. The whisky side of things is a real highlight; they've got the world's largest collection of English whiskies, and with events like tastings, it's a brilliant place to dive in if you're curious or a proper fan. The staff sound like absolute gems, always on hand with a friendly chat and top-notch service, which really elevates the whole experience, especially for special occasions like weddings or private parties. On the downside, though, it's not open every day of the week, so you might have to plan around that, and if whiskies aren't your thing, it could come across as a bit specialised compared to a more all-round pub. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed meal or a fun outing – I'd say give it a go if you're in Scarborough, as it's got that perfect mix of good times and a bit of something extra.

It's only open five days a week, which might be a bit of a letdown if you're hoping to drop in on a quieter day.

We had our wedding after-party here and would 100% recommend it. Nothing was too much trouble, the vibe was amazing and the food was lovely.
The decor is so nice that we barely had to decorate making the set up really easy.
Drinks were a good price, not overpriced like some private venues, and our favourite drinks were bought in especially for us.
Everyone had an amazing time and to top it off, we had a live band playing.
If anyone is planning a party or event, you won't be disappointed. There's no where else in Scarborough that offers space like this.
Ordered the posh fish finger sandwich and it was excellent … my son had steak 3 ways and said it was delicious … will be back !

Stumbled across this place on a Thursday afternoon & popped in to get some food. Food was great & we were very well looked after by the friendly staff. There was an amazing selection of whiskey to choose from. We'll definitely be back when we're next in the area. Highly recommended.
Amazing food at a great price. I had the Steak Sandwich with mushrooms which was absolutely delicious. Price wise I would happily have paid more as believe me it was very tasty and the portions generous! The place itself is stunning and the service very friendly. Would highly recommend anyone to give this gem a visit.
I popped in for an afternoon meal with my little one, what a super friendly place! The food was incredible, I had the burger and my little one had pancakes, there’s a couple of great beers on the bar, a great selection of other spirits and I even had the chance to book on for the whisky tasting event that night which was amazing! I will definitely be back, thanks to all involved.
