Not the easiest pub to find in the dark but I'm glad I made the trek. Steady business but still quiet during my visit. Solid selection of cask ales and some rustic, cozy rooms to sit down with a pint. Friendly local bartender. Would love to have a pub like this in my neighborhood.
Not just one of the best pubs in York but one of the best in the whole country. Been several times over the years. Booth and Madge making a first appearance...I think. Set off the main street just out of sight due to the street bending. Long pub with a rear courtyard where we once sat in a freezing winter as the inside was rammed. Had their house 3.8% bitter brewed by Half Moon. Very good. One of six hand pumped real ales. They have bar billiards as well. I love the game; far better than pool and takes up little room. Also a CAMRA Good Beer Guide regular. Lovely interior. Even have pub dogs!
A real gem of a find. Great local pub, beer is really well kept, lively atmosphere. Went back for Sunday lunch today and it was splendid. Beautifully cooked meat and trays of veg to share for the table. A really lovely way to come together for a family Sunday lunch with our young people at Leeds and York Uni. Thank you so much for fitting us in. Highly recommend!!!
Follow the sign on the corner of Micklegate & St Martin’s Lane to find this classic old pub serving cask ale from some of Yorkshire’s lesser known breweries. A true gem and quite rightly in the Good Beer Guide.
Nice back street boozer. I went mid week and late evening so not many people in. People and barman very welcoming.
Good selection of real ales.
Landlord has 2 dogs who roam around waiting to get petted.
Absolutely amazing Sunday roast. Pub was absolutely rammed at 2pm and can see why. Only knocked a star off the atmosphere because it did smell slightly of wet dog when first entering but not sure that can always be helped in dog friendly pubs. Food was 10/10, got so much lamb and super tender.
Great locals pub hidden in a back street, a good place to avoid the hen parties on a Friday evening!
Nice escape from the tourist haunts, and pint of bitter not too bad at 3.95. Mostly old guys drinking on lunchtime visit; nice lass serving and two lovely resident dogs.
Called in here a few times previously for drinks, it’s one of my faves in York.
Ate Sunday lunch today for the 1st time. Highly recommended. Better than most restaurants I’ve eaten at. Could tell a lot of care had gone into the prep & cooking. Shared a chorizo platter to start then I had beef & my girlfriend chicken.
Will definitely be back. Recommend booking as its popular. Dog friendly, made friends with a resident bulldog.
Had two really nice pints of Rudgate Ruby. Bar staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely will be coming back. Good ambience music too.
We had drinks one Sunday afternoon which was lovley great little pub cosy clean and staff was so friendly the Sunday lunches looked good too ..used to go in here in my younger days still a great pub will be returning very soon 😀 🥂🍾
Best Sunday roast in York! 100% recommended!
Lovely little old pub, off the beaten track but well worth a visit 😄
Absolutely stunning pub, very pretty and intimate with stained glass windows and two lovely pub dogs. One of the best bartenders I've ever been served by, who knew his customers' orders on sight and spotted when they were low to put on new pints. Very convivial. Only loses a 5 star rating as the Guinness was bad.
A hidden gem tucked away in the side streets of York.
Lovely staff, olde billiards, quirky but lovely little outside area with cosy individual heated seating areas room for plenty and more.
Reasonable prices and selection of food and drink.
Nice little hidden gem this, traditional real ale pub, reasonable prices and very friendly staff, nice locals too, nice cozy feel inside, and wonderful sun trap beer garden to the rear of the pub, highly recommend 👍
Cheap and cheerful pub for locals. We popped in for one and walked in on the pub quiz (which seemed super hard).
Really friendly bar staff and a cute pair of boxers to stroke.
Hidden away a bit, a nice old pub, built in the 1700's apparently. Good selection of beers, five or six cask choices. Just off Micklegate. And a short walk to two music venues, The Crescent (5 minutes) or The Barbican (slightly further).
