Quick info
About Starling
Starling is a stone-walled cafe-bar in Harrogate, found at 47 Oxford St, that works as a bar, a cafe and a brunch restaurant under one roof. The kitchen serves pizza, and the drinks side covers craft beer, cask-served real ales and specialty coffee, so the same room suits a morning coffee or an evening pint. A weekly quiz night gives the bar a set social event for anyone who wants to turn up and play. Dogs are welcome, which means owners can bring their pets along when they visit.

“Amazing staff looked after us here. So friendly and welcoming.”

“Really enjoyed our visit to The Starling in Harrogate! We had soup and pizza, both lovely, and the beer was excellent — you could tell it was really well kept. 🍺 The two lads who I think own the place were so welcoming and friendly, which made the visit even better. A great little spot, and we’ll definitely be going back next time we’re in Harrogate! 😊”
