Pauline and Emma had a good cheap aromatic night here. Spooky reports recently have got me going back again for another look! Students love this late night bar because its cheap and free to get in.
No music here. Simple good food, great beer, nice wines and a fabulous atmosphere. This is how a pub should be run!
Ted says they have a new management team here. Alan, who lives in York tells us the beer is cheap and the clientele friendly here.
Elaine said she likes it so much she visit each time she comes back to York. Live music, good ale and good company. History may well come alive for you here while you are enjoying the present in this fine, old ale house.
Joe sent a review in, well, more of a comment really, saying that this is NOT a gay freindly pub. Confused? So was I read on. Alex said it was a nice place at lunch time. After Little John responded to disappointed lesbian telling us she and her mates got turfed out before they got a drink.
Tim and Judy loved sitting next to the fire with a pint! Also, it is one of the most haunted York pubs!
Linda Jones was not best pleased when they closed the kitchen before deserts could be ordered. However, Chris Britten liked this lovely historic pub on Goodramgate.
Late night venue in the middle of the city centre with no entry fee.
One of the, if not the most famous pubs in the city. If you walk along Stonegate you will not be able to miss the sign that runs right across the middle. Jon Parker likes the food, ale and atmosphere here.
This is part of a large, well known chain of "gasto" pubs. Usually one would expect good food and service. That is not what happened for Willum.
This is one of the classic old public houses in the city. Small rooms full most of the time good beer with pleasant staff and punters alike. Tina Williamson says she thinks it is York's finest.
Dawn Brown went in on a weekend and was most impressed at a good old pub with a modern warm welcome.
Awarded Pub of the Season from CAMRA York!

Kevin Ireson tells us about the most famous of the many pub crawls in York.

Located just outside Bootham Bar. It is a good place to meet up and start a good night out in York.
Patricia Evans sent in some stuff about what having a drink in the Slipper is like.

A personal review by Gary Hingley.
Small real ale pub with loads of beer on tap. They do a good beer festival from time to time, if you can get in when there are like 20 barrels of beer in the front room. Shaun the landlord nice guy. Says hello even if you haven't been in for 2 years.
Now Closed
Good ale music and Sunday Lunch here. Unfortuanatly bulldozed to the ground in early 2011.
