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!"

Amazing place. Reminds me of Cafe Delirium in Belgium.

Cocktails, all of them.. They are super tasty.. I'm not drunk

Get an evil sunrise! Best. And if you go out for a cig you have to find somebody inside to let you back in..

Get there early for the Sunday lunch as they often sell out.

try the shed seven... SEVEN different types of rum, absynth, grenadine and some fruit juice - OMG!!! =))))))

Probably the best bar in the Northern Hemisphere....bar none....

Quirky little bar. Nice room upstairs but freezing cold when we visited.
Stu HodgkissFebruary 22, 2012
The best stocked bar I have ever come across, if it's not sold here it's not worth selling!!!

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

Used to be the best cocktails and food on town. What's changed?

Key West cooler is very nice but dont let the guy with long curly hair make it, he does it wrong.
bigblue meanieFebruary 1, 2011
Good cocktails. The procedures that the staff follow for making them could benefit from some "time-and-motion" studies...

Nasi goreng and mojitos!

Best drinks in town!
Sam OakleyOctober 2, 2010
Seconded on the evil mojito. Great Thai food. Slow service but still the best bar in York.
Welcome to YorkshireSeptember 5, 2010
A must do for anyone who is a cocktail fan! Try a Brazilian Monk or a Dick Turpin cocktail.
MichelleAugust 14, 2013

That's a perfect place for cocktail and thai food, enjoyed it a lot!

Very nice ambient
Sam SpencerJune 5, 2012
had to wait a bit to get served and young woman behind bar wasn't sure what yamazaki was but other than that fine :)
Jim HFebruary 27, 2013
Jonny Depp loved this place...trust me....

Don't forget to ask for a Gulden Draak!

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.
Joanne LittleFebruary 1, 2015
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
Shelly CJune 18, 2010
Cool but unisex toilets !? Woah
John CarrFebruary 8, 2010
Avoid the Evil Zombie unless you like a challenge
Carrie OAugust 13, 2010
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
