We returned to York this Feb. and were happy to see the Golden Fleece again and enjoyed some well-kept ales served by friendly staff. I only wish it wasn't 3000 miles away.

Had a nice lot of character and a decent ale selection to match. Sat in the front part of the pub and just enjoyed a few pints over the course of a very pleasant afternoon.
Toilets were a real state though - even for pub toilet standard! That said the place is definately worth a visit for a decent pint.

A really interesting little pub! Went for lunch the other day and it was really nice. Good choice on the menu. Service was ok, barmaid was a little miserable! The character really makes the visit though.
|
Nice little pub, if a little grotty. Good food and excellent real ale. Quite a little find right in the centre of York.
|
Probably the best food in a York pub. Nearly always some good drinkable beer (Landlord always on if there's n'owt else), but I usually come mostly to eat.
B+B interesting, and well priced. Does test the size of your equipment when you wake up in the night owing to strange lights in the room...
|
Interesting old pub - good beer and historic feel to the place.
|
Enjoyed a good pint in this pub by nice friendly staff, they even gave a little bit of history of the pub - apparently the most haunted pub in York ! Didnt see nothing myself but certainly wouldnt have the bottle to stay the night there!
|
Liked the decor & the haunted history of the place. Served a nice pint and is centrally located within York.
|
Not great for selection of beers and slightly expensive, but the food is well worth the price.
|
over-priced
|
Nice pub, deceiving from the outside as it looks tiny but it's soooo long inside! Beers nothing to write home about, only one real ale. The pub has a nice feel, I went in Monday lunchtime and there were plenty of people in who know where to go to get good food. I went back later the same day for dinner as they serve until 7pm. Supposedly haunted but I didnt see any goolies!

Not really doing a lot. Bar staff seem uninterested and a little ignorant and the lager i had was flatter than roadkill.

The upstairs monthly lesbian bridge night is always a winner, tourists, especially young americans, are ALWAYS welcome.

Seemed OK, and quite an "old" pub

Has the smell of somewhere unloved & uncared for. A pub interested in the daytime trade of tourists ONLY.
|
We went in the middle of the day, so we didn't an accurate feel for the place when it gets busy, cuz it was empty. Empty and quiet and smokey. Rather depressing. I'd hoped for more from this well talked about establishment. But I'd give it another try at a more appropriate drinking hour.

This city centre historic pub is really fairly nice. They have a good range of beers on, fruit wines and they sell Lindisfarne mead too. They also do quite nice meals and food into the evening.
The setting is wonderful, one of a few pubs claiming to be the oldest in York. There is a small from bar, connected to the larger back bar by a long sloping corridor. Upstairs there are more old-world function rooms, and outback there is a pleasant wooden deck.
However, the bar prices can be a little steep, probably due to its location at the bottom of the shambles, and the regular tourist trade.

This place is pretty cool. you can fall over before you are even drunk thanks to the crazy bent floor.
but then as it gets late the Chris Camara look-a-like bouncer comes out and tells everyone not to look at him funny before saying he has to take your drink away because its 10 to 9 so drinking up time is over and hes only doing his job. prat.
