| A refurbished although unspoiled pub, now aiming upmarket but not overly pretentious. One bar serves a number of rooms. The front room is quiet, except for the buzz of conversation; jazz music was being piped through the back rooms when I visited. A good selection of ales, all very well kept. Comfortably busy with customers of all ages on a Saturday evening. Still retains the traditional Gentlemens toilet! Well worth visiting. Islander - 13 Nov 2011 00:02 |
| Excellent compact pub, Jon & Jenny are welcoming hosts and make you feel at home. Been in recently watching the Rugby World Cup, very early starts are made more bearable with coffee and bbq breakfasts at half time. Followed by a beer or two from the decent choice of real ales. rememberbass - 4 Oct 2011 19:36 |
| Visited this establishment for the first time last Saturday and very impressed. A little off the beaten track perhaps but worthwhile trying it out. Decent range of beers and nice friendly bar staff Ayresomeangel - 14 Mar 2011 12:46 |
| Very smart and sophisticated pub, with candlelit tables and a welcoming smile from behind the bar. Comfortable with a fairly decent range of beers and tasteful decor this seems the perfect pub for insulated couples to while away the time over the weekend broadsheet supplements and have conversations that could have been cribbed from Radio 4 aftermoon dramas. This type of pub is popular with many, and with good justification no doubt, but alas not for me. So I drank up quickly and headed off in search of a more convivial atmosphere.

| 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 |
