The Little Angel is an excellent real ale pub in Whitby, just a few minutes walk from the harbour. It is relatively small, but offers enough space for live music, which was on the night I visited (And I suspect it's on frequently (daily?)). And the music made the already friendly and cosy pub that much nicer.
The real ale selection is very good indeed, with more than a fair share of hand-pumped ales from the region at moderate prices. The bar staff are knowledgeable and very friendly indeed. Don't expect any flourishes in the décor, the furniture is typically low key and old-fashioned.
Liked the beers a lot, like the music making a lot. Ended up staying for more than a couple of hours.
