Harrogate hotel bar named best pub in North Yorkshire
The Harrogate Inn has been named the best pub in the county at the Pub & Bar Magazine’s 2024 awards.
The inn opened after a multi-million-pound renovation in July 2023. One of the major changes from its previous incarnation as the St George Hotel was the new Barking George bar within the Ripon Road venue.
Owned by Newcastle-based pub company the Inn Collection Group, Barking George hosts live music on Friday nights and has an outdoor terrace overlooking the hustle and bustle of Crescent Gardens.

General manager Henry White said:
The Inn Collection Group, which also owns the Ripon Inn and the Knaresborough Inn, won three accolades at the National Pub and Bar Awards.
The Bull’s Head Inn and The Swan Grasmere were named as the best pubs in Gwynedd and Cumbria respectively.
Tristan O’ Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine said award winners "represent all that is great about the modern on-trade".
The winners will now go on to the National Pub & Bar Awards in London this June, where 15 regional winners and an overall champion will be revealed.
