"Harpars Bar is a breath of fresh air to the Horncastle bar scene. The light and airy space has a relaxed and cosmopolitan feel created by the welcoming proprietors Rainer Barnes and Claire Farrell.

You can enjoy one of their speciality coffees or maybe something a little stronger. There really is something for all age groups - Monday evening is quiz night where all the family can get involved and enjoy the free buffet during the interval and great selection of prizes. On Wednesday nights any of the exotic cocktails are priced at two for one.

For the long summer days they have created a Mediterranean sun terrace at the rear of the premises. This tranquil area is great for relaxing with friends over a bottle of wine from the extensive wine list. Whatever your taste or requirement, you will be pleasantly satisfied with the modern slant that Harpars offer.

All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy."
