Who wrote this guide
This guide is written by the team at M.AD Agency. We run Cocktail Week, the ten-day cocktail festival held town by town across the UK and Ireland. Since 2022 we have taken it to more than 20 towns and cities and worked with hundreds of bars. We love Harrogate's bars, so we put this guide together from our own research, recent awards and trusted local press.
No bar paid to be included and nobody can buy a place. We check the guide regularly as bars open, change and close.
