Pubs and bars in East Yorkshire
Whether you’re after a proper pint after a long walk, a hearty pub lunch with the family, a quiet corner with a local ale, or a night out with cocktails, East Yorkshire has a pub or bar that’ll hit the spot. From characterful country inns tucked into the Yorkshire Wolds to centuries-old Beverley locals and lively town bars on the coast, the range is brilliant and the welcome is always warm.
Country pubs and classic pub food
After a day exploring the rolling Yorkshire Wolds, few things beat settling into a proper country pub. East Yorkshire has plenty of them - cosy corners, crackling log fires in winter, sunny beer gardens in summer and menus full of hearty pub classics made with local produce. The Goodmanham Arms is a characterful village pub with a well-earned reputation for great food and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. And The Triton Inn Inn is a popular Wolds favourite, serving quality food in stylish surroundings that still feel properly pubby. Both are worth going out of your way for.

Historic inns and pubs in Beverley
Beverley is one of those towns where you could spend an entire afternoon moving between pubs and feel like you’d barely scratched the surface. The town is packed with historic inns and characterful locals with low beams, snug rooms, open fires and centuries of stories soaked into the walls, alongside great pub food and a warm Yorkshire welcome.
Step inside the iconic White Horse Inn (known locally as Nellie’s) and you’ll find a maze of cosy, gas-lit rooms that feel wonderfully unchanged by time. It’s a proper traditional pub experience and a must-visit for anyone who loves atmosphere with their ale. For something a little different, Chequers Micropub is a favourite with real ale fans, serving cask beers, cider and perry alongside plenty of friendly conversation.
Beverley’s pub scene is deep enough that there’s always somewhere new to discover and the town’s historic pub trail is a brilliant way to explore more of it.
