Golden Ball
No-nonsense boozer on Sandside where locals actually drink, proper pints and honest pub grub without the tourist veneer.

You'll find yourself on Sandside, that stretch where Scarborough still feels like a working town rather than a postcard. The Golden Ball doesn't do craft beer lists or Instagram moments—it does what pubs are meant to do. Walk in and you're surrounded by regulars who've probably been coming here for decades, the kind of place where the landlord knows everyone's name and the drinks are poured without ceremony. It's the sort of pub that's quietly brilliant, where the jukebox actually has decent tunes and nobody's bothered about trends.
