We had visited York for a last minute weekend away. Having come across Forty Five we saw live music was on on Saturday evening .The owner and staff were so helpful, we purchased our tickets on a whim and how pleased we're we. 2 really good musical artists a cross between Fleetwood Mac and Country. It was a very intimate gathering great atmosphere .thank you so much to all involved especially Jess and July Moon.

Lovely little place. The food looks decent but I didn't eat there. Just stuck to the drink. Blackberry Smoke, and a Bailey's latte I can chuyck for though. Very nice

Great place with friendly service and a big selection of food and drinks. Dietary friendly as well (gluten free and vegan options). Tables are a bit close together but thankfully it wasn't too crowded when we went. Our kids had fun looking at all the art and albums and really enjoyed their smoothies.

Excellent music venue. Small but perfectly formed. As good as they get. Worth the two hours to get there. Great music offered by great people.

Lovely owner, wonderful multifunctional space. They were setting up for some live music but made time to chat to us. Fully recommend. Great choice of drinks from coffee, tea, iced teas, cocktails & bottles alcohol (including a range of 0%/low alcohol) Plus an array of vinyl to browse & buy. Definitely want to come back again to try some food. Plenty of vegetarian & vegan options!
