Give it a miss and nip into the Ackhorne instead. Yorkmackem - 27 Feb 2010 12:32 |
| Used to go in here a lot 10 years ago when it was Walkers Bar. Ale is ok, decor a bit weird, like a lot of Micklegate pubs there are better options for a quieter pint but seemed ok for the football crowd. ppw - 18 Feb 2010 17:22 |
| Some cask ales on, but more of a bar than a pub. If you want to listen to the music or watch football on TV, I'm sure it would be fine. If you want a quiet drink, there are far better places around. alexw - 17 Feb 2010 17:42 |
| Really disliked this place. For a start the shape of the building makes it totally unsuitable to be a pub. Long & narrow its like drinking in a corridor. This makes it very difficult to move around, & the bar area is terrible to try & get served because of the "barflys" who won't move out of the way. Loud music & sports on several TV's. 3 real ales but mine was far too cold. The rear part has large muralled walls featuring Dickensian scenes in keeping with the pub's name. The only thing I did like was when I finally managed to push my way to the bar one of the beer pumps had a tiny built in TV showing football. Quite quirky, but not enough to get me to return. happytyskie - 30 Dec 2009 20:53 |
| On the plus side, there's a decent choice of drinks (york brewery ales, good selection of bottled and draught lagers, alco-pops and a very good range of spirits) and opening hours are good. There was a poster advertising the super bowl, so must have stayed open til 3 at least! Unfortunately the barman was unfriendly and intrusive. Didn't feel welcome in this bar at all. (I got the impression I was expected to purchase huge amounts of alcohol, as opposed to enjoying a pint slowly). Despite being pretty much empty, the music was still very loud (heavy metal). Not quite sure what this bar is trying to be, a decent cocktail bar, a warm-up for the nearby clubs, or an 'alternative' establishment like cert18. Probably the only place on micklegate that'll still serve you at 2am apart from the clubs though. CM23 - 20 Feb 2009 04:42 |
