Situated close to Harrogate's
celebrated Royal Pump Rooms, Hales Bar has a history going back to the earliest days of the town's emergence as a leading spa resort. It originated as one of the first of the inns for spa
visitors that sprung up after sulphur wells were first established in the mid-17th century. Sulphur springs still
flow beneath the cellar and their
distinctive odours occasionally
percolate up to the bar.
Although the smaller bar has lost its historic character, the main saloon bar preserves it well with mirrors and other interesting
features and fittings from the Victorian era including fully working gas lighting.

Hales Bar offers a cosy friendly atmosphere serving home made food daily with a wide selection of cask beers, wines and spirits,
hot beverages and soft drinks. Monthly party nights are very popular with occasional live music and karaoke.
