Last Post

Walk into Last Post and you'll immediately get why this spot works—it's got that warm, unpretentious vibe that's become rarer in Harrogate. The crowd here skews towards people who actually live round these parts rather than those doing the Stray circuit or heading to Montpelier Parade. You'll find a solid selection of drinks, the kind of uncomplicated pub food that does what it says on the tin, and staff who treat regulars like regulars should be treated. It's the place you pop into on a Friday after work, not somewhere you need to dress up for or book weeks ahead.
