Roland's

You'll find Roland's tucked away on Parliament Street, in that stretch where Harrogate's got enough character to feel like somewhere worth knowing. It's the sort of place where the staff remember your name by drink two, and there's a real sense that someone's thought carefully about what goes in the glass. The space feels intimate without being cramped, with that particular warmth that comes from genuine hospitality rather than design decree. You're not paying through the nose, but you're also not getting watered-down nonsense. It's become the sort of bar locals actually choose to go to, which is the highest compliment you can pay anywhere in Harrogate.
