Brilliant pub with great pizzas and lovely service. Went for the first time on New Year’s Day as a group of four and were served quickly. Pizza choices are great - the pesto chicken was a winner round the table. Great vibe, family friendly. Will be back again.

Excellent place to eat. Atmosphere is cozy, service is great, cocktails are good, and pizza was phenomenal at a great price. We loved eating here.
Amazing place - we turned up unannounced and, despite it being busy, were quickly found a table. And we were so glad they did as the pizza was simply delicious! Top marks from myself and my husband for the very attentive staff, excellent food and drink and the provision of a warm haven on a very chilly night.
When you're a bit off the tourist track, you need to work harder and it's clear these guys do, but effortlessly.
I had a gluten free pizza that is the best I've had anywhere. The base was large and the toppings were generous - none of the usual skimpy GF disappointment that tastes like cardboard and looks like a child's portion. If you hadn't told me it was GF, I'd have thought it was a normal crispy base. My wife's pizza was equally generous and delicious.
Lots of different rooms, some buddy and buzzy, ours quiet and comfortable. The balance of traditional features and modern decor is very well considered. All round, excellent.
The service is excellent, we were often asked if we needed anything. We had Naco's and french fries with three cheeses. The portions were very large and sufficient. The beers were delicious. The decoration is warm, the pub is clean, the customer base is very good.
I was very pleased. If I go to York again, I will definitely visit again.

10 stars. Brilliant pub. Most excellent barman - friendly, welcoming, funny, efficient, great at his job. Dog friendly pub. Real 'propahh' pub in every way. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available on menu. Has outdoor seating - very nice and cosy as is covered, sheltered and has those outdoor heater things. Three lovely rooms, smart decor and with woodburners. Great range of handpulled cask beers. On the day I visited casks available were: Leeds Best Bitter, Ilkley Brewery's Blonde, Turning Point Brew Co's Lucid Dream Milk Stout, Turning Point Brew Co's Pixel Enthusiast West Coast Session IPA and Kirkstall Brewery's Pale Ale. I had the latter and it's a lovely drop. I had the veggie loaded nachos and pon my word.... what a plateful! Size of a dustbin lid! Tasty. Filling. Nommmm, purrrr. Most highly recommended. For sure I shall be returning. Worra pub!
Just been for a family get together this afternoon to The Minster Inn and had a great time. The thin base pizzas are lovely and the choice of toppings was imaginative and tasty. I had the ‘Couldn’t Give a Fig’ pizza which was fab and went well with a nicely poured Guinness. Staff were great, really attentive and with a sense of humour which made our experience even better. Thank you to the team and chefs.
Beautiful traditional pub, oozing character with multiple small rooms.
Real fire going on our visit, which was lovely.
Staff friendly and very welcoming.
Five real ales available on our visit.
If you doing the walk of the City walls, this little gem is ideally situated on the walking section between the walls.
Heated outside beer garden with an outside TV
Food available, but we called in just for drinks on this occasion, so cannot comment on the fayre.
Well worth a stop, definitely recommend a visit.
Lovely cosy pub. Great selection of beer.
Would love to come back and try the food menu
Mixed emotions about doing this review.
The Minster Inn is perfect. Great staff, lovely pizza & fab ale. Then I want to keep it to ourselves ... but that would not pay their bills 🤔
Fantastic little pub. The food is amazing and really good value for money definitely will be going back
Very nice pub at St Mary's Gate, York. Picturesque area. Near St Olaves. Extensive range of pizzas including gluten free bases.
Went in for lunch today, what a lovely pub! Food is mostly wood fired pizzas and a variety of sides, the tiramisu is a must! Staff were great, and its a cosy and friendly atmosphere. Bar guy said it is defo worth booking at busy times. Will definitely be back!
First of all this is a pub and it has more as one room.
We came here to have dinner. We had a pizza and liked it lot.
The staff was very friendly.
The room we where in was a not so big one, but had a lot of things in it and it looked cosy.
A friend booked a table for a few hours to play board games. The staff accommodated this admirably and kept us well served with drinks throughout the afternoon. They also welcome dogs, which is nice- several calm dogs were in the bar and got in no-one's way.
It is quite a small pub though, so can be busy. If you're after a quiet drink, it'd be best to go early to avoid the crowds!
A lovely old pub with a good selection of well kept beer and a massive menu of excellent pizzas. The welcome and service was great making this a must visit if you love pizza. They even have some of the best Gluten free pizza bases we have had if you are GF.
Just popped in for a couple of drinks. Relaxing place to pass an hour or two. Welcoming staff. Good choice of beers and wine. Looking forward to going again and enjoying a pizza next time, which looked pretty good!
Nice old pub. Not very big, so gets full and busy quickly. Seems very popular, and we could see why. We sat in the garden for the first part of the evening, where we had pizza and chilli chips. Absolutely delicious. After some time, the pub thinned out and we made our way inside. It was nice and cozy with its old decor and feel. The bar staff are friendly but do get rushed off their feet, so be a little patient, they are putting in some graft. Definitely worth making a visit, as it’s just out of town. So has a real local feel to it.
Dropped in for a quick drink, but ended up staying to eat after chatting with the super friendly staff. Had an amazing pizza and sides, so happy to have found this place!
