The heart of the Fairfax Arms

Come and visit our welcoming and characterful bar, where heritage and hospitality come together to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re sipping a perfectly poured pint by the fire in winter or enjoying a crisp glass of wine on the terrace in summer, our well-stocked bar is the perfect setting to unwind with a drink in hand.

Our carefully curated drinks menu features an exceptional selection of fine wines from our wonderful partners at Firth & Co, premium spirits from the likes of local Hooting Owl Distillery and Fairfax Distillery, and award-winning cask ales celebrating both local Yorkshire breweries and world-renowned labels.
