About This Pub
Ah, The Nelson Inn – what a gem in Scarborough! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that classic pub feel where the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, and the cosy atmosphere is just spot on for a laid-back catch-up with friends. I love how it's dog-friendly too; it's those little touches that make a place stand out, and hearing about their pub dog puts a smile on my face. Plus, with reasonably priced drinks and the odd live singer, it's easy to see why it's racking up such high ratings overall. But, let's be real, it's not perfect – one chap mentioned having to leave because a group was being a bit too boisterous, shouting away like they were in a stadium, which could spoil the mood if you're after a peaceful pint. And if you're a Guinness fan, you might find it frustrating if it's not always on tap. Still, with the new owner stepping in and making noticeable improvements, I'm optimistic it's only going to get better. All in all, if you're in the area, it's worth popping in for a try – just keep an eye on the opening times and go with the flow!

The Nelson has a new owner; even though it has only been eight weeks, a marked difference is visible.
Top little pub and great pub dog
Went Thursday lunch. Lady behind the bar was lovely. No Guinness so had a pint of John's. Only us 2 and a group of about 7 others (3 kids). You would have thought they were sat 50ft apart the way they were talking so loud. (Shouting). Supped up and went for a quiet pint elsewhere.
Lovely pub and staff. Very cosy and so pleased that it is dog friendly, and made our dogs feel really welcome. We visited in a large group and had a fabulous time. There was a live singer on aswell, and the drinks were reasonably priced. We will return. Thankyou😊
Very friendly and welcoming staff,place was tastefully decorated and the Guinness was lovely.
