Enjoyed a couple of good pints here last Saturday about 5pm, Centurions Ghost was my favourite. Already quite busy when we left an hour later.

This has the appearance outwardly of a traditional, potentially stuffy sort of pub but nothing of the sort once indoors - the decor was surprisingly light and white, and whilst that doesn't always work, in this context it seemed to be appropriate and there was a convivial, airy feel to the bar area where a genuinely mixed clientele were busying themselves on beginning their Saturday night shenanigans. It was a place where one could happily go as a couple, with mates, or even on one's own as inevitably one wouldn't remain alone for long.

Ale-wise, it was the trusty beer guide that got us here and it was deserved: a thorough spread of sound cask beers (I should say many more enticing and unusual than just Guzzler which can be found anywhere - pint of Plum Porter, anybody?), that went down a treat. Punters and staff were equally friendly and we received the sort of bantered-up reception that one longs to get in say London pubs, but all-too-often leaves the premises without. A couple of packets of scampi fries kept the impending hunger pangs at bay and enabled more quality beer to be quaffed. Sadly we had to move on but had it not been for the surfeit of other worthy pubs nearby needing our attention, all three of us could quite easily have camped out in the 3 Legged Mare all evening, which in itself says a lot.

Have to agree with everything good said about this pub. It's the first place I choose to visit when in York, mainly to sample York Brewery's ales, especially Guzzler, which is top-class. Well-kept beers and friendly bar staff. An excellent place to be.

This pub has a light airy feel that gives it an almost continental atmosphere, and its frontage is no longer the lurid blue depicted in the accompanying photograph above. Good, friendly, attentive, young bar staff added to the ambience.

On offer was “Edwin Taylor’s Extra Stout” from Banks & Taylor at £2.95, York Brewery “Scrum Down” & “Centurion’s Ghost”, Burton Bridge “Golden Delicious” & Knot Brown Ale”. Again, no music but the gentle hubbub of conversation made for a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

7/10.

Visited in December 2010 during the very snowy weather, went in 3 times during our stay (we did not take much persuading), having had the Terrier in a Cirencester pub was keen to try again on its home turf and it did not disappoint - the Guzzler was a firm favourite for my wife. Sampled the Constantine and Centurion Ghost as well.

Staff very friendly on each visit and had time to talk. Excellent atmosphere and well a worth a visit.
