Over & Above

Harrogate

Founded in March 2025, this trendy, independent neighbourhood bar takes drinks seriously but never themselves.

Over & Above first entered the list within a year of opening and serves delicious cocktails, wines and beers in a relaxed yet upmarket environment with friendly table service.

Signature cocktails alongside elevated classics are a focus on the menu with certain elements taken....over and above.

In fact, the bar's name reflects not only its drink and service style but also the layout of the venue with it split across two floors, hidden behind its bookcase entrance on Cheltenham Crescent.

Owners Rich and Fran Hamer bring decades of hospitality experience to Over & Above – their first venture where they seamlessly combine a neighbourhood bar with high-end service alongside a fun menu that has its own quirky elements.

The signatures list includes the funky yet clean El Rojo as well as the decadent Holy Smokes while house classics feature the Clarified Colada and Margarita, which is reported to be the venue's bestseller.

Sundays are a music celebration at this Harrogate bar with soul, Motown, blues and jazz played into the evening while guests can enjoy two Bloody Marys for £15.
