Cask OBB in not very good condition during our visit – the wooden panelled including sliding door in the front room bar is very interesting – shame about our pint

This pub has recently been taken over by a young new management but retains it's ambience. It IS a "gay friendly" bar - mostly men and middle aged with few queens so you wouldn't necessarily notice it.Like most Sam Smiths pubs the beer is cheap (£1.94 a pint for Alpine at the moment) and thankfully there's no TV or jukebox.
Well worth a visit.

Typical Sam Smiths place - and I mean that in a positive way. Cheap prices and a bit of character. The punters all knew each other and were having a gentle laugh with the bar staff and a couple of American visitors.

A haven of bliss away from the soccer. Yes, okay, you get the usual type of Sam's drinker in here (i.e. unemployed/heavy drinkers etc.) but they are generally inoffensive.
You can't beat the prices of course!

Typically traditional Sam Smiths' pub in the shadow of York Minster. It escaped crass refurbishment in the 1970s and conisists of two main rooms, a large lounge and a small bar room, accessed separately but served from a central bar. A corridor also has hatch access to the bar on the bar room side of the pub. All traditionally furnished in typical Smiths style. Sam Smiths OBB as ever the only real ale on, cheap as chips.
Can't compete with the ale selection of nearby pubs, but the value for money and unspoilt nature of this pub makes it worth a visit in my book.
