The Whitby Way is a bar on Wellington Road in Whitby, a short walk from the harbour, run by Tammy, Ian and the team. Entertainment runs most nights of the week, taking in live music, karaoke and a regular open mic session that has its own following on Facebook. It is a straightforward, friendly town-centre room rather than a dedicated music venue, which makes it an easy first stage for local performers - turn up, put your name down and play.
