This single-roomed city centre pub has a cosy, country feel, with stained wood floors, a large wooden bar and pictures of old York on the walls. One of the best selections of real ale and pub food in the city makes this a popular pub. There is something for everyone, with discreetly positioned TVs and games machines, as well as quiet corners in which to have a chat with friends in a convivial atmosphere. There is a also a roof terrace.

As a result of an agreement between CAMRA and Greene King, organised by CAMRA's membership team, this managed pub is one of over 500 pubs where Greene King have agreed to offer a discount to members with the offer of 10% off real ales
