Best cocktails in York, hands down. Well worth the price. Very busy at the weekends though, avoid on Fridays & Saturdays!

Awesome cocktails and a decent selection of common and local beers. I'd recommend the Centurions Ghost Ale!

My favourite York bar! The biggest choice of cocktails I have seen, categorized by main spirit. Cool oriental seatings on the 2nd floor but always taken. Good price but the place is dirty and crowded

Huge selection of virgin cocktails for the non-drinkers amongst us (me). Try one! Really worth a visit, great atmosphere!

If you're after an amazing cider, make sure to ask for the 'Gwynt Y Ddraig'

The Green Fairy is not green, but very good! The place is beautiful, especially the four postered beds! ;-)

Only Sunday roasts on Sundays and no other food. Too many cocktails to choose from. U name it, they have it.

You can get the menu via the QR codes on the wall; much better than the sticky paper ones, if you can find one!

See a drink you've never heard of? Get it! Then show off to your friends when you're next there. "you've never had a Caipiraca? Well you haven't lived!"

At busy times it's always worth tipping to make sure you get prompt attention when queuing for the next round ;-)

Good cocktails. The procedures that the staff follow for making them could benefit from some "time-and-motion" studies...

They have an incredible back-bar, but unfortunately I’ve never had a good cocktail here. The focus seems more on novelty and quantity than quality.

Great cocktails but be prepared to wait as they often take a long time. Made worse by some of the staff choosing to chat rather than work

Used to be a lot better..service is unapologetically bad; the bar staff are more concerned with poncing about trying to look cool than serving people who are waiting
