| Situated close to York Minster, the Three Legged Mare is one of 3 York Brewery pubs in the City Centre. Externally resembling a shop rather than a traditional pub, the interior is a not unpleasant mix of traditional and modern, but with an overall feel that is perhaps more continental café bar than a traditional British pub. Outside a blackboard tells us that the pub was CAMRA York Pub of the Season in Autumn 2008. It promises us a friendly welcome and - at the date of my visit in late June - was proudly announcing itself as a football free zone. The main bar contains a number of photos of old York and leads through to a small conservatory and an outside patio. In the conservatory we learn that a three legged mare was a novel form of gallows comprising a horizontal triangle supported by three legs. Its design meant that several felons could be hanged at once. A replica of this may be found in the back garden. On the real ale front, there's 3 banks of 3 pumps. Beers on from the York Brewery were the usual 4 - Yorkshire Terrier, Centurion Ghost, Guzzler and Constantine. Also on from York Brewery were York Mild plus Wonkey Donkey, the latter of which is promoted as unique to this pub. Guest beers were from Tring and Castle Rock. York Brewery beers were generally priced at being between £ 2.60p and £ 2.80p. The Yorkshire Terrier was in good form. The pub is in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for 2010. The staff here were exceptionally attentive and helpful and, on my visit, were going way beyond the call of duty in helping a group of irritating and demanding tourists with limited English language skills, find their way to the brewery for one of the brewery tours. This is a good place in the City Centre for sampling the wares of the York Brewery. JohnBonser - 14 Jul 2010 08:30 |
| Great location, friendly bar staff, good range of beer, nice decor (more modern cafe bar than traditional pub). Prices were a tad high, but considering the location you can't really complain. If you've just done the Minster stairs, this is a cracking place to get refreshed! Northern_Ale_Monkey - 19 May 2010 10:54 |
| I prefer bright, clean and airy to dim and dingy, and this pub fits that bill. Excellent choice of well kept ales and good selection of food, though I did not try this. Close to York Minster and the Art Gallery, and well worth a visit. spikefromsurrey - 15 Apr 2010 20:41 |
| York Brewery's flagship pub in the city. It's just beneath the Minster in a prime tourist location, and makes the most of it. Inside, the one long room is split into two main areas, the bar at the front and a rear area. It's pretty modern, open-plan with mood lighting and a mixture of seating- somewhere inbetween a bar and a pub. Always packed with a mixed crowd for good reason, as the real ale selection is excellent- 4 York Brewery beers plus a strong showing from Titanic microbrewery on my last visit-all in good form. It's not overly traditional but is worth visitng for the beer range- then you can pop over the road to the highly traditional Sam Smiths pub The York Arms. Will be returning.

| Visited last summer. Can't fault the beers at all, not surprising as it's owned by the local brewery! Constantine, Guzzler and Wonky Donkey were all sampled. There was also a new brew to coincide with the Ashes test series available as well as several non York brewery ales. Other than a group of tourists and a few mates of the barstaff there weren't many people present. A light and airey place it was ok but there are better places in York I'd go to first. The name of the pub refers to a device that could hang three criminals at the same time! outtamehead - 19 Feb 2010 09:36 |
