| Popped in for a saturday afternoon ale on a very cold day in January. Nice old pub with lots of old interesting features. Proabably the most expensive pint of average ale that I have had in York but still worth a look to say you have been there, Seen it and done it. CambridgeBlue - 18 Jan 2009 10:16 |
| The Black Swan did indeed close towards the end of 2008, but managed to reopen in time for Christmas. I was there last night and have no complaints. Whatever one may say about the beer or the staff, it's the building itself which really stars. Despite its charm as an ancient city about half way between London and Edinburgh, York doesn't really have the kind of big, trad. "coaching inn" you'd expect in the centre (there used to be several, but they all went in the 19th / early 20th centuries) and this is the next best thing. It is rightly beloved of the folk / jazz set , and the various clubs and societies which use it as a venue for meetings. The York Shakespeare Project has regarde it as a kind of unofficial "home" for some years now. Come to think of it, there used to be live lunchtime theatre in the front bar from time to time back in the mid seventies. Firedrake - 8 Jan 2009 15:03 |
| This is the only place that the pint served to me was awful. As it was one I know and drink regularly it continued to worry me. I have just heard (early December 2008) that it is now closed. As it had wonderful musical night, blues, folk, jazz and comedy and a superb building, perhaps the 'phoenix like' reincarnation will get rid of the uninterested feel that the staff stamped upon the place. stevesowerby - 9 Dec 2008 01:09 |
| Don't expect a "Good Evening" or a "Thank You" from the miserable bar staff here. They really let down what should be a smashing pub. the_amazing_wodo - 28 Apr 2008 13:20 |
| Traditional pub - apparently haunted. Uninspiring range of real ales. Quiet for a Sunday afternoon. Bar staff quite indifferent. Lovely open fire. not much veggie food options. doncaosdelanada - 11 Feb 2008 22:01 |
