Eeek. Please disregard my last ramblings on there only being one handpump. There were 4 or 5 handpumps which are changed constantly. Out the back of the pub there is a large aviary with about 20-30 birds tweeting away. However my comments about the friendly vibe still stand unchanged. It's a smashing pub.

Starting to pick up again through sheer hard work. Good luck to whoever's running the place these days.

An excellent Live Music pub with a refreshing drop of Banks bitter on tap along with a vast array of other drinks. Friendly staff and customers. complete with an excellent pool table, well equipped jukebox also Fruit machines and beer garden!!
Brilliant music nights about 3 days of the week at least!!!

Visited November 30 on our annual York pub crawl. Excellent pints of Archers Golden (guest ale). Also serves Banks ales etc. Surprisingly for a busy Saturday, an oasis of calm with unoccupied pool table. No 'dregs' as previously noted. Note, the Gents are after the Ladies, as I found out eventually !

This was a regular haunt for people from the University Physics department when I worked there, and has undergone refurbishment since then.
Fortunately, it's managed to keep the good selection of (well kept) beer and excellent food (the chip butties are awesome).
Unfortunately, the clientele often consists of the pond-scum that typically loiter around Walmgate itself (junkies, fences and other examples of the dregs of society), especially at weekends - pity, really.
Does live music and is worth a visit then, but can get very crowded.
