Whitby Brewery
Microbrewery in the shadow of the abbey with a tap room, live music and a view over the harbour.
Whitby Brewery sits on the East Cliff beside the abbey car park, brewing Abbey Blonde, Saltwick Nab and Jet Black. The tap room has a terrace with a view down over the harbour and hosts live music on summer evenings. A rewarding end to the 199 steps.
