Great bar with loads of space and a huge selection of keg and cask craft beer. The pizzas are excellent too. It's always a pleasure to stop by.
Great looking pub with loads of real ale on. Lots of Salt Brewery and Ossett Brewery in the main. Music was very rock orientated which I thoroughly approve of. Didn't try the pizza so can't comment on the food. The only downside for me was the gentleman and girl behind the bar both looked really miserable and didn't smile at all. Maybe they had had a busy shift or something, I don't know, but they were bar far the least communicative and happy staff we saw out in York all night. The man even managed to gives us pints instead of halves, but he looked so miserable and unhelpful we didn't bother mentioning it and just drank what he gave us.
Always seems understaffed in here which for me is it's biggest let down. Always packed with a good atmosphere. If I notice when it's busy, why can't management? Pizza is good, really good and there's a decent selection of beers. The pizza selection varies from quite different concepts such as green Thai chicken to boar chorizo and buratta (pictured) to more traditional ones. They were all really good and the sides are simple but done well. Annoyingly there's a York tax to pay. The Osset Brewery lagers see a surcharge compared to my local. I know it sounds petty but I really think as a country we normalise paying more because it's in a city due to supply and demand and because "it's a city" but the supply of customers is more than it is in my local so surely my local should charge more because they don't sell as much? I'm being picky, it's a pet peve but I have to call it when I see it. Hell Rat is a blooming good drop too
Great food. Tasty pizza with a good selection of toppings and fries. Good range of drinks. Live music was also enjoyable.
Great place to rest and grab a pizza whilst having a beer/cuppa. Staff are great and the food is brilliant. Every time I'm in york I make sure I pay a visit.
