 | York Nightlife | Tips 1 - 10 of 68 |  |
Popular Nightlife | Other Nightlife Tips | All Tips (68) The Three-Legged Mare is one of the three York brewery pubs in York. With a good range of beers on ofer, friendly bar-staff, and a nice atmosphere this was my favourite pub in York (closely followed by the Yorkshire Terrier, one of the other York Brewery pubs). It's in a good, central location on High Petergate, very near the Minster.
Well worth trying is the York brewery taster, which gives you a sample of 4 York brewery beers for £3. Each sample is 1/3 of a pint so it works out to be quite good value. This is a good way to taste beers you might never otherwise get a chance to try and I really enjoyed my Guzzler, Harvest Pale, Yorkshire Terrier and .... sorry, can't remember the last one.

York's oldest pub is the Black Swan, dating from the 16th century. The building itself is from the 14th century, and you can tell once you walk through the door that the place is steeped in history. The black and white tmbner frames create a lovely exterior, while inside the oak panelled walls and large fireplaces create a cosy atmosphere.
There are regular folk nights here, though unfortunately not during our visit. In fact I was a little disappointed in the place given its age and history. The beers on offer were standard British pints, nothing exceptional, and atmosphere was lacking. Though it was only 5pm....I'm sure it's more fun later in the evening. Leave a Comment

Just one of the many great pubs on Stonegate, the Punch Bowl Inn is another York pub that dates back a few hundred years. We ate here both evenings of our trip. The food was standard pub fare - nothing special but good value and filling. There were many interesting beers advertised on the specials board, but, sadly, many were unavailable. I did get to try Yorkshire Terrier, a fantastic local ale. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

With its fantastic location along the river it's not surprising that the King's Arms is one of the most popular pubs in York. The seats overlooking the river must be a great place to hang out in the warmer months. It wasn't so enticing in February. We stopped here only briefly to see if they were showing the rugby. No such luck, this was more of a football pub, so we had to make do with O'Neill's around the corner. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

It's the best (and one of the only) pubs in York for drinking outside, but don't forget to have a look inside. You will notice some peculiar things.
The pub floods at least 2 or 3 times every year, and if it's particularly high the level is marked on a wooden post just inside the door. Because it floods so often, it is designed to withstand the flooding (sturdy wooden benches, electrical sockets high up the wall instead of at ground, stone floors, etc.).

Plonkers is more than just a wine bar. In fact they pride themselves as being a wine & beer bar. If you are out on the lash (drinking) in York, go down towards the river for a drink, and maybe some food. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the décor is well done. They offer the following for the drinker and/or diner.
• Thai and English Food
• Large wine selection
• Huge beer selection
• Sunday Carvery
• Non-smoking area (upstairs – go figure)
• Massive TV screen
• Air conditioned and well heated
PLONKERS is VT Meeting Tested & Approved!
Remember: You don’t have to be a Plonker to drink here!

Like its sister pub, The Three-Legged Mare, the Yorkshire Pub specialises in York brewery beers. I really liked this place - it was very laid-back, almost studenty though not with prices to match unfortunately. There is also a shop/off-license out front selling many of the brewery beers not available inside. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

I normally avoid places like O'Neill's but it was the only place we could find with a big screen for the Six Nations games. Hence we were here twice during our trip to York watching France vs Ireland and Wales vs Scotland.

Like the Black Swan, Ye Olde Starre Inn claims to be the oldest pub in York. I'm not sure which is the elder, though both must be doing something right if they're still going strong after over 300 hundred years.
We watched the England-Italy rugby game in Ye Olde Starre Inn, and the atmosphere was great. We were the only non England supporters there so we had to clap extra loud when Italy scored! It was all good fun though, and the locals here were a good laugh. Good selection of beers too. They have a beer garden at the front with views over to the nearby Minster.

Tiny Georgian pub with an Edwardian interior. A good range of real ales, and tapas. Very atmospheric but not too crowded and busy. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 53 Fossegate
