The Blues Bar in Harrogate is a “Rollicking night-time Blues Music Hangout and relaxed Daytime Café and Bar with a Funky Décor” according to their web site, and it’s difficult to improve upon that exact description.

It’s a small Café style venue in Harrogate Town Centre, literally a few seconds walk from the world famous Betty’s Tea Room & Café, with a small stage, probably fewer than 30 seats, but with a fantastic intimate atmosphere, and with an exceptional program of Live Entertainment every night of the week.

Check online for occasional variations, but Martin Rose hosts a Jam Night every Monday and also the Acoustic Sessions every Tuesday, the fabulous Maurice Grumbleweed presents his relaxed Blues Night every Wednesday, with more than a touch of the humour that made him and his fellow Grumbleweeds into National Treasures, and Guest Bands / Artistes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and double or occasionally treble up Bands all day on Sunday.

[Strongly recommended]
