A Market Town Taverns establishment, the Old Bell opened in 1999 on the site of the Blue Bell Inn which closed in 1815 and was later demolished. President Bill Clinton visited the inn during a visit to Harrogate in 2001. Later the same year the pub expanded into the former Farrah's toffee shop, where there is a collection of Farrah's memorabilia. The interior was refurbished in 2023, with updated decor and new tall tables in the windows. Food is served every day, including steak night on Thursdays, and six handpumps serve beers mostly from local breweries.

NB. Pricing information for cask ales is contained within a small notice on the wall to the left of the bar. As prices can vary considerably, you are advised to check prices before ordering.
