Harbour Bar

About

The Harbour Bar is a beloved ice‑cream parlour located at 1‑3 Sandside, Scarborough (YO11 1PE). Established in 1945 by family members Giulian and Ann Alonzi, the bar has proudly carried on a tradition of handcrafted, award‑winning gelato for nearly a century. The menu boasts a wide range of classic and creative flavours – from vanilla, strawberry and chocolate to novelty flavours such as bubblegum, banana medley and exotic sorbets. Visitors can enjoy freshly made sundaes, waffles, shakes, floats and a selection of sandwiches and snacks, all served with the same friendly care that has become the hallmark of the brand. The shop’s heritage is evident in its retro style: hand‑painted signs, preserved fruit pyramids, and a distinctive “Canaries” crew that adds a touch of whimsy to every scoop. The Bar’s commitment to quality was recognised in 2023 when it received the Queen’s Prince of Wales Award for outstanding service. Open hours vary by season: summer days (April‑September) are longer than winter days (September‑March), and the Bar typically closes for a four‑week maintenance break at the end of November–beginning of December. For the most accurate, up‑to‑date opening times, callers should contact 01723 373662. With a casual atmosphere, free high‑chairs, and wheel‑chair accessible premises, the Harbour Bar is a favourite stop for locals, tourists and families alike. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick treat on the rocks or a leisurely sit‑down with a cold drink, the Harbour Bar offers a true Taste of classic British seaside ice‑cream with a modern twist.
