First of all I should say that I'm a big fan of Blues music, both listening to it and playing it. My wife and I chose Harrogate for a weekend break primarily so that we could see some live Blues. Places to see live Blues in the U.K. are few and far between to say the least. We booked a booth so that we could also eat the Yorkshire Tapas on the menu here.

On arrival we were told that the booked act had cancelled, but they were working on a replacement band. We decided to stay after coming so far. When we sat down and we're given the menu, we were then given a huge list of dishes that weren't available. We ordered what there was and actually had some decent food, but in the couple of hours we were there I only heard 3 blues songs. Needless to say, no replacement band was found and the whole evening was a complete let down. My feeling is that If this had been in America, there would have been 100% Blues music played and bands queuing up to get on stage (I'm from the UK btw).

This is not a Blues bar and they should be ashamed of themselves!

We took friends with us to stay in Harrogate for the New Year. Booked tickets for the Blues Cafe Bar evening bash with live band and a meal upstairs. We were not disappointed. Fantastic homecooked food - great sized portions. Absolutely fabulous selection of gin upstairs at the gin bar .... brilliant band, the place was hopping and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended and would go back again.

During our week's golf and stay in the area we visited this bar a couple of times and both times were excellent. Can't remember the name of the band we saw on the Wednesday but they were excellent ( the singers name was on the window, so he's regular!).
Cheapish drinks, intimate, sweaty venue, just what it should be!
Great night

Unique.. friendly .. Historic.. sure it's small'sh.. But its crammed with talent. The music may not always be Blues ..wouldn't that be boring .. But its always quality music, and they don't charge at the door... there is a bucket that goes around, your choice if u put money in it.. Food and cocktails upstairs.. its a good deal ... I've enjoyed this place for years.
