The recent opening of two new independent bars on Knaresborough’s High Street is adding another dimension to the town’s food and drink scene.

The launch of Berry's Tavern at 48 High Street and the 1858 bar and restaurant just a few doors down at number 42 means this busy thoroughfare now boasts at least five top quality bars, dotted among its shops and businesses.

Offering a range of beers, including international, an exclusive wine menu and cheese and meat platters, Berry’s Tavern is a relaxed and airy space with stylish wooden floor board interiors and wooden seated booths.
