Whitby Pubs and Bars

Whitby has a great night life, especially in the summer months.

Duke of York

If you are looking for a bar with great views of the harbour, head over to the East side of town, and at the end of the cobbled streets you will find the Duke of York, Church Street. Situated at the bottom of Whitby's 199 steps that lead to the Abbey, the Duke of York is the perfect establishment to re-hydrate you after the strenuous climb to the abbey. The Duke of York also offers Bed and Breakfast accommodation. For further information ring (01947) 600324.

The Shambles

The shambles bar was originally a Burberrys factory but has been recently converted into a stylish venue.
