Some of the best Whitby pubs with outdoor seating to enjoy in the sunshine. ๐ป๐
From harbour terraces to beer gardens with great coastal views, here are some of the best Whitby pubs with outdoor seating to check out while the sun is shining.
๐ป White House Inn: If you want great views and a relaxed pint, the White House Inn is a lovely spot. This family-run pub, restaurant, and guest house sits on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, overlooking Whitby Golf Club and the Yorkshire Coast. Itโs also close to the Cleveland Way, so itโs a good place to stop before or after a walk.
๐ป Abbey Wharf: Abbey Wharf sits right by the harbour and is a great place for sunny days if you want views across the water to Whitbyโs famous East and West Piers. You can grab a table on the balcony, order a drink, and enjoy some people watching with a sea breeze.
๐ป The Fleece: The Fleece is full of Whitby character and has a beer garden thatโs perfect for catching the evening sun over the harbour. Itโs a cosy, friendly pub with food, real ales, lagers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks. Itโs also dog-friendly.
๐ป Middle Earth Tavern: A bit away from the busiest parts of town, Middle Earth Tavern sits beside the harbour and is a great place to visit in summer. It has a relaxed, local vibe, and a good selection of lagers, ciders, wines, and real ales.
๐ปPier Inn: The Pier Inn is a classic spot for a pint on the terrace. (If you can get a seat) Itโs right by the harbour, so itโs perfect for resting your legs after a walk around town. Youโll find cask ales, pub food, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.
๐ป Whitby Brewery: If youโre heading up towards Whitby Abbey, Whitby Brewery is the place to enjoy a drink in the sunshine. Its outdoor seating has spectacular views of the Abbey, and there are lots of different ales to try.
๐ป The Angel Hotel: The Angel Hotel has a large outdoor seating area overlooking the harbour, so itโs a handy and good-value place to stop for a drink. As a Wetherspoon pub, itโs a popular choice when the sun is shining, and it offers an affordable option in the centre of town.
So whether you want sea views, people watching by the harbour, or a peaceful pint near the Abbey, Whitby has plenty of places to enjoy a sunny Yorkshire weekend. Just remember to bring your sun cream.
