Several things in one here. Good food and beer served at both bars. Also tapas at the downstairs bar, as well as a beer shop in the cellar. Usually 3 cask on always in good condition, with a further 22 keg craft beers over the 2 floors. They have an outdoor area in front from covid related road closures but it's still there, hopefully to stay. The food and drinks is now back to pay at the bar. Food is well priced and of a good quality. Instead of typical pub menu it's quite varied - there are cold platters, a couple of pie and mash options, wraps, and daily specials including a stew and sausage of the day. Also available are good all day breakfast / breakfast sandwich options. Tapas are really good, struggled to eat 2 of them. They also do good tea and coffee (I'm told). The artwork also deserves a mention - both in the bar areas and the nudes...

While my wife doesn't really enjoy beer and had a lovely orange juice (that's actual orange juice and not just orange cordial that she gets offered in most bars), I started with a vanilla porter called Bad Kitty, which went down a treat. It started to rain while we were there so I followed up with a caramel marshmallow Imperial porter.
I loved the decor, the staff were nice and the music was a cool selection (a good bit of alternative music to pop). If I'm ever in York again, whoever I'm with whether it's with my friends or my wife, I'm likely to try and get them to go here, so I can go again and try more beers and enjoy the atmosphere, maybe next I'll try out...
Read moreWas in York with my mam for my birthday, we came here for food and drinks. We were told an hour wait for wait as they were busy which was fine. We were waiting for it to come when people who had came a good 20 minutes after us got their food but there was no sign of ours so we asked the server, he said ours was on the bar waiting to come down and it would be next so we waited then the server who was supposed to bring finished his shift and left, we waited a further 10 minutes and still no food so we went inside for a refund. When we asked for a refund there was no apology, they said oh yes no problem, didn't ask why! Would never come back here again and would not recommend anyone...
