Muckles, Harrogate

Great pub for live football on TV . Good beer at good prices and efficient bar staff. Surprisingly good pub food too. Not recommended if you want a quiet drink on a night when a big match is on TV. I'd put The Muckles in my top ten list of pubs in Harrogate.

Tap and Spile, Harrogate

Went in with friends as the excellent Coach & Horses was jam packed . The Tap & Spile is a "last resort" kind of pub- as even on busy weekend nights its empty, so you can always get a seat . The choice of real ales is OK but the service is miserable & slow and as the night goes on the barman gets grumpier & more offensive. I have experienced the Tap & Spile (infrequently) for over 20 years- I remember it was the only real ale pub in Harrogate .There are excellent pubs in the immediate area and the Tap & Spile needs to change its attitude to customers if it does not want to remain a pub of "last resort" . We all agreed we wouldn't be going there again.
Probably OK for dog owners - but the lounge does have a doggy smell to it.
