| A step back in time; a friendly pub and a decent pint of OBB. Islander - 24 Jul 2011 19:16 |
| Cask OBB @ £ 1.46 per pint, which was in good form – excellent terraced pub – no pool table now – great service, very warm KeithP - 15 Mar 2011 20:09 |
| Vary small and cozy local pub hidden in the middle of a housing estate. One bar, one pool room and a snug at the back. At weekends its full of locals and students beacuse the OB bitter is £1.43 a pint. most stuff on offer is Sam Smiths which is fine if you dont mind drinking OB all night. I found the staff and the locals very friendly and will visit agian when in the area. CambridgeBlue - 20 Oct 2010 10:07 |
| Locals' pub half a mile or so south of the city centre, splendidly located as part of a Victorian terrace in an attractive suburban street, and far away enough to completely avoid the tourist hordes. I It's the usual highly traditional Sam Smiths' boozer, with a central tiled corridor as you enter giving access to 3 rooms- the bar to your left, games room to your right (both rooms stone flagged) and a pleasant snug room at the back, with carpeting and traditional furnishings. The corridor also has access to the bar via a servery. All rooms have the glow of a real fire. The games room has a pool table which is unusual for a Smiths' pub- it is also very difficult to use given the size of the room! OBB as usual the only bitter, it seemed to taste better than usual here and went down extremely well. A great secret that I'm loath to reveal, but any lover of traditional pubs should head here if spending any decent amount of time in York. The terrace on which the pub is located is a pleasant 15 minute stroll down the river from the centre and close enough to include as part of a crawl along with the Seahorse and Lighthorseman, two other traditional pubs that feature in the York Historic Pub Guide- a good read.

| Not a pub you'll just happen across as it is a nestling in the middle of a residential street just off the beaten track. But I urge all connoisseurs of good, back-to-basics locals to make the effort. Not only will you be rewarded with the ever reliable, and astoundingly cheap Sam Smiths beer in a simple, three roomed, no frills, terraced pub, but you'll also be enjoying it in the company of an extremely nice set of regulars - at least they were for my visit. I was made to feel very welcome by both staff and punters alike. That goes along way in my book. Highly recommended. ILooklikeme - 8 Feb 2010 16:42 |
