| still very much on song...committed to two rotating unusual beers (for York at least) Wylam, Goose eye, Great Newsome, Ilkley and recently an excellent Maxim dark ale...Rumour has it that they may have Old Spot on board from Cullingworth! Watch out for a new, regularly updated website. caliwag - 31 Oct 2011 21:57 |
| This is what I call a real local pub, with a glazed brick facade. The Golden Ball were serving Salamander Brewing Company “Golden Salamander” - £3.05, the increasingly ubiquitous Wells-Young’s “Bombardier”, Everard’s “Tiger” Northumberland Brewery “Black Dog” and Timothy Taylor “Golden Best” - £3.00. Ceramic nick-nacks abounded in groups of three around the periphery of the Bar Room – the flying ducks, beloved of Hilda Ogden, corpulent ladies, frogs, chickens, Guinness toucans, pigs 7 swallows. A superb, unspoilt Victorian pub with a glazed brick bar – 8/10 5thearlofwimbourne - 22 Oct 2011 14:19 |
| Stunning unspoilt community pub with an excellent range of beers. I had a stunning pint of TT Landlord. It's slightly off the beaten track but well worth tracking down. simontheeditor - 26 Jun 2011 09:15 |
| A little gem. Always worth a visit when I'm in York. Great choice of good Real Ales (Great pint of Tiger bitter). Lovely beer garden when the sun shines. One of York's top 5 five pubs. BarStallBert - 20 May 2011 22:51 |
| Despite living in York for the best part of 30 years, I'd never been to the Golden Ball before last Saturday, despite hearing nothing but good things. Maybe it was because it's on the other side of town from me, and slightly off the beaten track ... I don't know. But yet again I've unearthed another fantastic pub to add to my growing list of fine establishments in York. I don't feel the need to elaborate further on the layout / style of the pub, as it is pretty much as the other (positive) reviews have stated. Both interior and exterior seating areas were clean and comfy, the bar well stocked (I enjoyed a couple of pints of a well kept guest from the Northumbria Brewery, "Highway Robbery" - quite an appropriate name for a brew given the current high fuel prices, thankfully it was excellent and had no traces of petrol !). The clientelle and staff were friendly, and there was a good atmosphere. Although at first glance (mine certainly so), the Golden Ball appears to be off the beaten track, it is within a five minute walk of some other excellent hostelries such as the Swan and Slip in Clementhorpe, the Rook & Gaskill in Lawrence Street, and closest of all, the Ackorne in St Martins Lane. Looks like my next "Friday Five" are sorted ! MountainMan - 2 Apr 2011 11:26 |
