I'm going to big up the evil eye, i think it needs some praise for once! Having lived in York only a short time, this has got to be my favourite bar and has been for a good few months. food is reasonably priced and amazing, drinks menu is the most extensive I've ever seen, the bar staff certainly are very accomplished at mixing cocktails which you can enjoy in really interesting surroundings. Obviously I can't talk for everyone but I've never had to wait long for service and waiting staff are smiley too. yeah it is a little sticky in places but there are worse things. this place is definitely worth a visit

love this bar, will definetly make a point on going there on my hen night, best chocolate martinis ever, staff are friendly and so are the people who drink there. had a good afternoon there when the tills were down and they charged the same price for everything to make things easy for everyone, happy times

Used to love this place when it first opened, can't stand it now...Bar staff are the most pretentious, unfriendly people I've ever had the misfortune to be served by. Made the mistake of telling the manager the toilets needed looking at (sink not working, seats ripped off, stinking) and he basically just insulted me...It may serve good cocktails, but the nasty attitude of the staff far outweighs any enjoyment you'd get from their drinks...And I wouldn't order food here either - if the state of their toilets are anything to go by, you'd be risking a severe bout of food poisoning..

Really liked this place, as commented on before it has a really mammoth range of cocktails which i had a couple of but also a few decent bottled beers - Desperado's are really nice.

Didnt find it at all pretentious as another person commented before, in fact all the staff were friendly as were the other drinkers.

The only downside is that it can be a long wait for a drink - luckily it wasnt that busy when I went in, but a friend who lives in York said that they actually used to take drink orders and give you a time to come back to the bar to get them - i.e. go to another pub/bar for an hour then return.... crazy!

I've been here a few times and want to like it - they have a fantastic cocktail selection, and I'd recommend drinking one of these rather than a beer. They are skilled at making them but be warned it can take quite a while to get served - the bar staff have their own idea of how fast to go or who is next.

The second floor is unique with its beds and cushions - every time I've been there's been space. They offer wifi but it still doesn't work with macs, disappointing considering the booths are a great spot to get some work done on a quiet afternoon with a decent drink.

This place has potential - nice drinks, unique idea, perfect central location - but I always end up just a bit...disappointed.
