The Montpellier

Walk down Montpellier Parade and you'll find yourself in one of Harrogate's best-looking corners—all Victorian terraces and independent shops. The Montpellier fits right in: it's the kind of pub where you can grab a drink without feeling like you've wandered into a chain, and where the mix of regulars and visitors actually works. The atmosphere is warm without trying too hard, the sort of place where conversation flows naturally whether you're propping up the bar or tucked into a corner table. It's become something of a focal point for the area, which speaks volumes.
