Roscoe's Bar

You'll find Roscoe's tucked away on Roscoe Street, in one of those converted Victorian buildings that makes this part of Scarborough feel a bit more grown-up than the seafront chaos. Walk in and you're immediately somewhere that feels intentional—the kind of place where bartenders aren't just pouring, they're actually crafting. The crowd's mixed: locals who know their way around a proper cocktail, couples after something a bit smarter than your average pub night, groups who've clocked that this beats the usual town centre circuit. It's got that sweet spot of feeling upscale without being pretentious, with enough regulars that you don't feel like you've wandered into someone else's living room.
