Sun Inn, St Thomas St, Scarborough YO11 1DY

About This Pub

Ah, The Sun Inn – it's one of those classic spots in Scarborough that really knows how to make you feel welcome, isn't it? From the reviews I've had a look at, the staff stand out as absolute gems, always cheerful and on hand to sort you out quickly, even when the place is buzzing. Whether you're popping in for a quiet midweek pint or getting stuck into the footy on one of their screens, or even belting out a tune at the karaoke, the atmosphere is just spot on – lively but never overwhelming. And it's all kept so tidy, which is a nice touch you don't always get. On the downside, though, it's a shame about the parking situation with the local council cracking down on motorhomes and such; a few folks have shared that it's put them off visiting altogether, which means you might have to plan ahead if you're driving in. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out if you're after that community feel, but do keep those access issues in mind to avoid any frustrations.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and always go the extra mile to make everyone feel right at home.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, perfect for catching the footy or joining in with karaoke on a lively weekend.
  • The place is kept spotlessly clean, from the decor right down to the toilets, which makes for a comfortable visit.
  • You can enjoy a relaxed pint during the week, with a good selection of beers and friendly service even when it's busy.
  • It's a great spot for a casual get-together, with plenty of space and entertainment options that keep things fun.
Cons
  • Access can be a hassle for some, like those with motorhomes, due to local council restrictions on parking nearby.
  • It gets really crowded at times, especially on weekends, which might make it a bit of a struggle to get to the bar.
  • A few regulars have mentioned it's not as easy to visit as it used to be because of those parking issues, potentially putting off repeat trips.

Me and my wife used to love this pub, unable to visit now due to the council banning motorhomes on Albert drive and other local car parks, it seems Scarborough council would rather chase the motorhome trade away, we now spent our money over Blackpool council much more welcoming.

As we were walking up and down Scarborough, I mean up as we were coming up from the beach, it was a timely stop for us oldies to rest me little legs.. it was a good call, football was on and you could watch it on one if their 8 🖥 , beer was good bar staff friendly and off we popped.

Came in here around midnight on a Saturday night. Was very busy and about 3 deep at the bar, but I managed to get served quickly. A good mixed crowd but more of the younger generation, which is normal. Surprisingly, they had a late night karaoke on with a fair few people singing and to give them there dues, I have seen much much worst. Doorman are hot on kicking people out that do drugs which is a bonus and nice to see. Edit: There was a fight in the street later but not sure which bar (this one or across the road) they came from.
