| Excellent atmosphere, good but not overly exuberant welcome (ie perfect!) and always a good pint. mwb50 - 12 Jan 2012 20:58 |
| This is an Edwardian pub where, in a similar fashion to The Blue Bell and The Swan, the rooms lead off to one side of a corridor, and between the front and rear roms, there is a serving area in the corridor. The pub has interior glazed brickwork, and being outside the city walls, it’s not what you would term a “Tourist Trap”. On the contrary, it is a very friendly welcoming locals’ pub with good beer and good banter in abundance, although when the average price inside the city walls was £3.00 a pint, it stuck in the craw somewhat paying £3.10 without the city walls for a pint of Jennings’ “Crag Rat”. Their “Snecklifter was also available, as was Marston’s “Burton Bitter” and “E.P.A.”. The fifth ale on was Ringwood “Old Scrumper”. Still worth 7/10, however. 5thearlofwimbourne - 22 Oct 2011 14:41 |
| I liked this pub, which I visited on a Wednesday evening. Firstly, the beer was very good and a good range was on offer. I also really liked the atmosphere in the (small) bar. The pub has a lot of character and although I was just a visitor from out of town, was made to feel very welcome by both those behind and in front of the bar. This would be a great local if you lived in the area. hitchinsampler - 19 May 2011 10:07 |
| I have drunk here on many occasions. The landlord and his staff definitely know their beer - only once was I EVER served a pint that was less than perfect - and that was quite literally snatched back from me and replaced before I could complain! The range of guest ales changes constantly, so there's always something new ... if you ever get tired of the regular draughts, that is. If I was forced to criticise this pub the only real drawbacks I could mention would be the outside 'facilities' (not too nice for us blokes in winter) and the very 'dog friendly' attitude (not always easy to avoid treading on a tail!) but the friendly atmosphere and real fire in the front lounge bar more than make up for this. This should be a 'must visit' if you are on this side of the river in York. Ghost_Man - 16 Mar 2011 16:19 |
| Never had a bad pint or night in this pleasingly discreet boozer. I heartily endorse the positive comments, which in my experience are accurate and fair. I can only scratch my head in bemusement at the recent criticisms, but of course just about anywhere can have an off night.. Marygate's a great road for a crawl by the way.
