Montey's

You'll find Montey's tucked away on The Ginnel, that narrow slice of Harrogate that locals know holds the good stuff. Walk in and you're immediately struck by how they've nailed that balance between smart and welcoming — there's real knowledge behind the bar without anyone acting like they're doing you a favour. The drinks menu reads like someone actually cares about flavour rather than just stacking bottles. Whether you're after a properly made classic or something more inventive, the team knows their craft. It's become the sort of place where you bump into people who actually live here, not just passing through.
