The Waterhouse in Scarborough

Ah, The Waterhouse – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot when you're after a proper good time in Scarborough. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, the staff are absolute gems; think quick smiles, efficient service, and that extra effort that turns a simple drink into a memorable evening. I love how they've got live music going on, especially on weekends – it's got that feel-good energy with a mix of songs that'll have you tapping your feet or even joining in. The place is clean as a whistle, and it's brilliant for watching the footy or just soaking up the inclusive atmosphere, which is spot on for making everyone feel welcome. On the flip side, it's a shame it's not open more than a couple of days a week; you might find yourself planning around that, which isn't ideal if you're spontaneous like me. And while the drinks are nicely priced, getting there early on busy nights is a must to skip the queues. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laugh and a chat, but keep those limited hours in mind if you're popping by.
