If you’re in Boroughbridge and fancy a drink done properly, Black Bull is one of those places that just gets it right.
From the moment you step inside, the bar feels welcoming and unpretentious — the kind of pub where you can pop in for one quick pint and somehow end up staying for two or three. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between traditional Yorkshire pub and relaxed social spot, making it ideal whether you’re catching up with friends, winding down after work, or stopping off while exploring the town.
The Drinks 🍻
The real star here is the drinks selection. The Black Bull consistently offers a well-kept range of beers, with cask ales poured exactly how they should be — fresh, clear, and full of flavour. There’s always something reliable for the ale purists, alongside options that suit lager drinkers too.
If beer isn’t your thing, you’re still well looked after. The wine selection is solid and sensibly chosen, and the spirits back bar has enough choice to keep everyone happy, from classic gin and tonics to the occasional whisky nightcap.
Service & Atmosphere
What really elevates the experience is the staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to recommend something if you’re unsure — no rush, no pressure, just proper Yorkshire hospitality. It’s the kind of place where locals feel at home, but visitors feel just as welcome.
Why It’s Worth a Visit
The Black Bull isn’t trying to be flashy or trendy — and that’s exactly why it works. It’s a pub that focuses on good drinks, good company, and a good atmosphere, and delivers on all three.
Whether you’re a Boroughbridge regular or just passing through, this is absolutely a pub worth stopping for a drink (or two). One of those places that reminds you why a well-run local pub still matters.
Cheers to that 🍻
