About This Pub
You know, chatting about Flares in York, it's one of those places that just brings a smile to your face with its throwback tunes from the 70s to the 00s – it's like stepping into a time machine for a proper good time. The team there are absolute stars; they've got this knack for making you feel right at home, whether it's a bartender dancing while mixing drinks or someone going the extra mile to sort out your night. It's spot on for students with their Wednesday and Friday specials, and the prices won't break the bank, so it's ideal for a casual catch-up or a big celebration. On the flip side, though, the sticky floors can be a bit of a downer and spoil the mood, and with such a varied crowd, it might not always vibe with what you're after. All in all, it's a solid choice for a fun, affordable evening in York, but keep those points in mind for the full picture.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The atmosphere is absolutely electric with a brilliant mix of retro tunes from the 70s right up to the 00s, making it a proper nostalgic blast.
-
The staff are legends – they're super friendly and go above and beyond to make your night memorable, like dancing while serving drinks or making everyone feel welcome.
-
It's a wallet-friendly spot with inexpensive prices, happy hour deals, and great student offers, perfect for a budget night out.
-
They've got regular events and a fun vibe that's ideal for groups looking to let loose and celebrate something special.
Cons
-
The floors can get a bit sticky, which takes away from the fun and might leave you feeling a tad grubby after a night of dancing.
-
It draws in a wide mix of ages, so it might not always feel like your scene if you're after something more exclusive or tailored.
-
With late opening times starting around 10pm, it's not the best choice if you're hoping for an early evening pint rather than a full-on late-night session.

If you want to have cheesy music to dance to on a Saturday night, then Flares is for you! Complete with every age of clientele in there and sticky floors, it will definitely drag you back to your university days. The app is useful to have. The happy hour also makes the place bearable!
