The Best Cocktail Bars Near HIGHFIELD, by the Record

Rank 1. The Brain Jar
Cocktail Bar
A cocktail bar in Hull that lands at number four on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars list while also hosting opera nights and loose-leaf tea service, which tells you most of what you need to know. The seasonal menu runs to mushroom-infused old fashioneds and a Tarot Cake with cream cheese frosting, but sixty-plus drinks cover every mood from classic to genuinely strange. Two floors, three rooms, and an explicit mission to be a place where people actually talk to each other.

Rank 2. Over & Above
Cocktail Bar
A bookcase that opens into a bar is either very cool or a cry for help, and in Harrogate it turns out to be the former. Over & Above is a two-floor cocktail bar where the menu leans into signatures and elevated classics with enough personality to stay on the right side of try-hard. Sundays bring soul, Motown, and jazz into the evening. It placed in the Top 50 Cocktail Bars in 2026.
