The Turks Head Pub in Scarborough

3 Eastborough, Scarborough YO11 1NG

About This Pub

Ah, The Turks Head in Scarborough – it's one of those classic pubs that really pulls you in with its warm, community feel, like you're stepping into a local favourite for a chat and a laugh. From what I've gathered, the atmosphere is just brilliant; it's buzzing, especially when the live sports are on, and it's a great place to unwind with a reasonably priced pint and some unbeatable drink deals. I love the idea of nipping upstairs for a game of pool or darts while taking in those gorgeous bay views – it's a proper treat. And on a sunny day, the beer garden with its sea vista is just the ticket for a relaxed catch-up. On the downside, though, service can be a tad unreliable; you might end up waiting around, and there have been a few grumbles about smells or the odd unclean spot that could dampen the mood. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual night out if you're nearby – just keep in mind it's not flawless, and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Went in yesterday wanting a few drinks, no bartender at the bar, absolutely stank of cigarettes like somebody had been smoking indoors. Walked out after FIFTEEN minutes of waiting to get served. Diabolical.

We have been to the TH on a number of occasions & never had any issues, the pub does get busy & looks like a regular place the locals go to as you generally find the same faces propping up the bar. On our recent visit my husband noticed that one of the urinals was full of sick which was blocking it & urine was overflowing on to the floor. He did mention this to the security guy & was told in an aggressive manner that it had been like that all day, my husband said that its not really on to be padding through other peoples stomach contents & urine to which the security barked "Do I look like a cleaner". Im sorry but if your paying to drink in a pub then sanitary conditions in the toilets should be a given, apart from being a health hazard, if anyone slipped & injured themselves then it would be everyones problem whether paid cleaners or not! From there we were asked to leave as my husband said that his attitude was terrible. Shocking behaviour!

The Turks Head has recently been renovated. Staff are polite and work quickly (good thing as it can get quite full) It is a nice pub with good beer and cheap prices (John Smiths £2.10). The pub has a beer garden to the rear with a nice sea view. Well worth a visit if you are passing by or just fancy a libation. :-). Also it is dog friendly always a bonus.
