| This pub is located just inside the City Walls at Fishergate Bar in an area of mainly drab housing but also close to the main arterial route South. The fact that it's inside the walls still gives it an edge-of-city-centre type feel. It's an unspoilt place that merits a place in the York Historic Pub Guide and I was pleased to see it reopen after a long period of closure. The layout is unaltered, with a side lobby giving access to a front bar room and a rear lounge. The pub is mostly flag-floored and a lovely real fire roars in the bar. The lounge has been altered slightly but is still comfortable and hosts Jazz nights. The lobby has a servery hatch to the bar with seating around it, an unusual touch. Fine etched windows have the name and show that this was once a Magnet pub. It's more upmarket that it was, with candles on the tables giving dim light and a very clean feel, but this has in no way adversely affected the character of the pub. The real ale range was once dominated by the bigger names, but on my visit Copper Dragon Golden Pippin. Moorhouse Broomstick, Landlord and Wold Top Bitter made up a decent range. Copper Dragon was excellent. The pub is a bit of a way out but easily accessed from the city walls, and is worth a visit if you fancy a pint on the way round. Can also be combined with the Rook & Gaskill and Waggon and Horses on a crawl. Really good to see it open again. Carlurmston - 10 Feb 2010 14:42 |
| Live Jazz this Thursday from 8.30. Performed in the back area of the pub so there is still cozy seating away from the bustle if you are wanting a quiet drink. Real Ales currently are, Moorhouse: Broomstick Black Sheep: Best Bitter Copper Dragon: Golden Pippin Timothy Taylor: Landlord Cider: Stowford Press lauretta.lotti.gergely - 26 Jan 2010 15:15 |
| Brilliantly re-furbished with warm colours, lit by an open log fire and candles. They offer traditional bar foods including pies, pickled eggs and sandwiches. There are also great live jazz performances on Thursdays and Sundays. Friendly bar staff too. lauretta.lotti.gergely - 26 Jan 2010 00:56 |

| When I went in it was very quiet, but it was a nice pub with a lot of potential. Hopefully people will spread the word about it. mike89 - 28 Nov 2009 01:25 |
