Hales Bar, Harrogate

I visited early evening and the ambience was nice and relaxed. The staff were more than helpful as i wanted to try a different bitter of which there were 6 to choose from and a taster was offered. I decided on trying a pint of the locally brewed "Hales Ale" which is made for the pub itself. The barmaid told us all about the history of the pub, the stuffed birds, the gas lighting and the cigar lighters were a real nice touch to the place, very old fashoined and was told a scene from chariots of fire was filmed there. We ate a lovely mealand a few more hales ale. Was told the place was a totally different atmosphere on a weekend evening, might have to visit again soon and check it out, well done Hales bar, a fantastic visit to end a perfect break away, will be back again to see you all soon
