| - I'm not sure when my irrational fear of Scarborough pubs started, but it definitely hindered my exploration of the Olde Stone for several years. Once inside I quickly realized it was definitely not the nightmare my overactive imagination was thinking of...
The staff were incredibly welcoming and the variety of food (jerk chicken dish, bacon mac and cheese, curry dish...what?!) was inclusive of different tastes. Service was excellent. The price was just right, you could easily get several drinks in and some food without breaking bank. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming.
The crowd is a bit interesting. The night my friends and I walked in (around 7:30) Olde Stone was mostly an older crowd, after an hour or so several crews of young baggy attire wearing guys came along (this is not to say they were rude by any means, it was just an interesting visual). The neighborhood drunk singing and applauding the tunes of a (pretty catchy) band definitely added to the conversation.
All in all, I actually enjoyed this place. I didn't leave Olde Stone poor, angry, sick, or wanting to take an immediate shower. Most importantly, I wouldn't mind coming again.
