Definitely my first ever visit to this fantastic and traditional back street local. Both Jorvic and Paulicarus loved the friendly welcome. A front bar and two side snugs with real coal fires. Some outside seating in the rear yard where you find the toilets. ( bet the mens were once open air!) A Sam Smiths pub selling excellent Old Brewery Bitter. A no modern tech rule so no inside photos allowed...Jorvic might have cheated when the lovely lady was not looking. Would love it to be my local. Had a pack of the best prawn cocktail crisps ever, Lister's Yorkshire farm.

Lovely little pub set within a pretty residential area. It's like walking into the past. No nonsense, no bells and whistles just a great traditional public house. Lovely landlady and staff. Locals were very friendly. Not many places like this left sadly.

Warm welcome in pub full of character; great to have real fire too. Old Brewery Bitter at 3 quid is such a bargain these days. Good to have card readers now; not sure if policy of no electronic devices is realistic in 2024, maybe could just encourage people to put them away rather than a total ban.

A really lovely traditional three room public house with a historic interior. Fires always going. The landlady is exceptionally kind and welcoming and makes every visit very pleasant. Definitely one of the best pubs in York.

We popped in for a cold drink as we walked along the river. Mid PM on a Sunday it wasn't busy so difficult to comment on atmosphere but barman friendly and drinks cold.
