What's pouring
Real ale and craft beer in Harrogate, all in one bar
Harrogate Tap is a freehouse, so the bar isn't tied to one brewer. You'll find traditional cask ale, modern keg beer, and bottles and cans from microbreweries and established breweries around the world.
Keg beer
Fifteen modern keg taps, so there's plenty of craft beer to try alongside the cask ales.
Bottles and cans
Bottles and cans from microbreweries and bigger breweries worldwide. Third-party listings count over 130 bottled beers.
The range changes often
