Howl | Wine Bar & Bottle Shop | York

Verified

96/100
Howl is a delightful little wine bar in York that's become a firm favourite for its cracking selection of wines and welcoming vibe – ideal for a relaxed catch-up over a glass or two.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The wine selection is absolutely fantastic, with a great range of natural wines by the glass that changes regularly – perfect for exploring new favourites.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always on hand to help you pick the perfect wine or pair it with some tasty small plates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be closed on Mondays and sometimes has varying hours, so it's worth checking ahead to avoid disappointment on a spontaneous visit.
  • As a wine bar focused on quality and natural options, it might feel a tad pricey for everyday outings, especially if you're after something more than just light bites.

Valhalla York

Verified

94/100
Valhalla York is a cracking Viking-inspired pub in the heart of York, blending brilliant atmosphere, tasty grub, and a great drink selection for a memorable night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Viking-themed decor is absolutely spot on – it's like stepping into a saga, full of history and character that really brings York's heritage to life.
  • They've got a cracking selection of craft beers, ales, and mead; it's just the thing for settling in with mates for a proper chat over a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • The music can lean more towards general rock rather than full-on heavy metal, which might not hit the spot if you're after something a bit more intense.
  • There might be a touch of confusion with the operating hours, as things seem to vary a bit, so it's worth double-checking before heading out.

The Blue Bell

94/100
The Blue Bell in York is a delightful little gem of a pub, boasting excellent beers, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly faces, though it's best for those after an intimate, chatty experience rather than a big night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beers are absolutely top-notch, with a fantastic selection of real ales and local brews that really hit the spot.
  • It's got that warm, cosy atmosphere you'd expect from a historic pub, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub is quite small, so it can get pretty packed, especially on busier evenings, which might make it feel a bit cramped if you're after more space.
  • There are rules like no groups and keeping phone noise down, which is great for a quiet vibe but might not suit everyone looking for a lively night out with mates.

House Of The Trembling Madness // Stonegate (The Original)

Verified
4.7(4599 reviews)
94/100
House of the Trembling Madness is a real gem in York – a quirky medieval ale house with an epic beer selection and tasty sharing plates, perfect for a laid-back catch-up over a pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got an enormous range of craft beers, ales, and ciders, including local brews and rare finds that any beer enthusiast would love.
  • The atmosphere is charming and full of character, with quirky taxidermy, historical beams from old Viking ships, and a cosy medieval vibe that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time.
Areas for Improvement
  • The space can feel a bit cramped and cosy in a challenging way, especially if it's busy, so you might end up sharing a table with folks you don't know, which isn't for everyone.
  • Given it's in an old building, things like the layout or even the toilets might not be the most modern or spacious, which could make for a less comfortable visit if you're after something roomier.

The Minster Inn is a charming York pub with fantastic food, welcoming vibes, and a solid drink selection that makes it a must-visit for a relaxed night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think delicious pizzas, mouthwatering desserts, and generous portions that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank.
  • The staff are a real highlight; they're attentive, friendly, and go out of their way to make sure everything's just right, like sorting out a table swap when things get a bit lively.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can occasionally get a tad noisy with groups chatting away, which might disrupt a peaceful meal, though the team is quick to help if you mention it.
  • The website's currently being upgraded, so it might be a bit tricky to check menus or book online in the meantime.

House of Trembling Madness is a real gem in York, blending historic vibes with top-notch drinks and grub, though it's not without a few minor niggles like wait times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming, like stepping into a historic Georgian mansion with quirky decor and artwork that makes every visit feel special.
  • They've got an incredible selection of drinks, including 19 draft beers, loads of spirits, and delicious wines – perfect for anyone who loves exploring new brews.
Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can be a bit on the long side, as one chap mentioned it took an hour for his pie, so it might not be ideal if you're in a rush.
  • The closing times seem a tad early sometimes, typically wrapping up around 4 PM, which could cut short your plans for a proper night out.

Flares in York is a lively retro bar that's a real hit for dancing and drinks with mates, thanks to its upbeat vibes and friendly team, though it has a few rough edges.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

Shambles Tavern is a charming little pub in York's historic Shambles, offering a warm welcome, cracking drinks, and tasty food in a lively setting that's perfect for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a cosy spot right in the heart of historic York, with a great beer garden and live music that really brings people together.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of drinks, like fresh pints of real ale and tasty gins, plus the food is spot on, with things like ploughman's lunches and mulled wine that hit the mark.
Areas for Improvement

The Market Cat is a cracking little pub in York, blending top-notch craft beers and tasty pizzas with a cosy, modern feel that's ideal for a laid-back evening with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of craft beers is absolutely brilliant, with a fantastic range on tap and some real gems from Thornbridge Brewery that keep things fresh and exciting.
  • The pizzas are a real treat – they're made fresh with top-notch ingredients, and while they're not for everyone, they're packed with flavour and come in great sizes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the pizzas can be a bit oily or runny in the middle, which might not suit everyone, though others love that style.
  • Prices are on the steeper side, especially for the beers and drinks, so it might feel a tad pricey if you're watching your wallet.

The Hop York is a lively York gem blending top-notch pizzas, a fantastic array of beers, and cracking live music for a memorable night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The pizzas are absolutely spot-on – fresh, wood-fired delights that hit the spot every time, with great value at just over a tenner each.
  • They've got a cracking selection of real ales from Ossett Brewery and guests, plus world craft beers and artisan gins to suit all tastes.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed on busy nights, especially with the live music, so you might end up waiting for a table or a spot at the bar.
  • No reservations for the pizzeria means it's first-come, first-served, which could be a bit of a hassle if you're after a guaranteed spot.

  • The staff are so friendly and attentive; they'll make you feel right at home, often checking in to see if you need anything.
Areas for Improvement

  • The seating in certain areas, like the shisha lounge, isn't the most comfortable, so you might end up shifting about a fair bit.

The Three Tuns is a real gem in York – a welcoming historic pub with delicious grub, cracking beers, and friendly faces that makes for a top-notch stop.

  • It's got that classic British pub vibe with a historic, cosy interior full of old wood and quirky decor that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • If you're on the taller side, mind your head – the ceilings can be a bit low in spots, which might make things a tad uncomfortable.
  • The chips are alright, but they've had better elsewhere, so it might not be the star of the show every time.

  • A cracking selection of seven hand-pulled real ales, all in excellent condition, plus fresh and locally sourced food that's homemade and changes with the seasons.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food prices are a tad higher than some other York pubs, so it might stretch the budget if you're after something more affordable.
  • The outdoor terrace is a nice touch, but the heaters didn't work in one instance, which could leave you chilly on cooler days.

Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a bit limiting; it seems to wrap up earlier than you'd expect for a pub, which might disappoint if you're after a late-night session.
  • As part of a chain, it doesn't have that quirky, one-of-a-kind charm of some independent spots, so if you're seeking something truly unique, it might not hit the mark.

90/100
The Swan is a delightful traditional pub in York, offering top-notch beers and a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on – a fantastic range of ales, both cask and keg, that really hits the mark for anyone who appreciates a proper pint.
  • It's got that cosy, traditional vibe with a beautifully preserved Grade II listed interior, making it feel like a warm hug from the past while still being a lively spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • The location's a tad out of the way, just outside the city walls, so it might take a short walk to get there from the main attractions, which could be a minor hassle if you're exploring on foot.
  • The operating hours seem a bit confusing from what I've seen, with some inconsistencies in the schedule – worth double-checking to avoid disappointment if you're planning a visit.

The Winning Post in York is a charming spot with hearty, home-cooked grub and a cosy, community feel that makes it a real favourite for a relaxed pint or meal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and dishes like confit duck leg or slow-roasted belly pork that are packed with flavour and even cater brilliantly for gluten-free needs
  • It's got a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, from the cosy main bar to the gallery with local art and the spacious lounge that's perfect for gatherings with friends or family
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a tad early, with food service wrapping up by evening, so it's not the place for late-night suppers
  • There might be some confusion around the current status, as it could appear closed at times, so it's worth double-checking before heading out

The Duke of York is a charming traditional pub in York's historic centre, with cracking food and beers, though it's worth noting the occasional slow service.

  • They offer a fantastic selection of beers, including craft ales and ciders, all served by friendly and knowledgeable staff who know their stuff.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes be a bit slow, as a few folks mentioned waiting ages for their food, which might put a dampener on things if you're in a rush.
  • Portions aren't always generous – like that fish and chips with just ten chips, which feels a tad skimpy for the price.

The Old White Swan is a delightful historic pub in York's heart, offering a warm welcome, cracking beers, and solid grub, though it's not without the odd slip-up.

Pros and Cons

Areas for Improvement

Ye Olde Starre Inne is a delightful historic gem in York, serving up cracking food and a warm atmosphere, though watch out for those drink prices if you're on a budget.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historical charm is absolutely captivating; it's like stepping back in time to 1644, with its rich past as York's oldest pub and even tales of ghosts that add a fun thrill.
  • The food is a real winner – fresh, traditional pub grub that's delicious and caters to various tastes, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, as raved about in the reviews.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be quite pricey; one chap mentioned forking out nearly £47 for a round, which might sting a bit if you're planning a casual night out.
  • It might get busy, especially in such a historic spot, so finding a seat could be a challenge during peak times, as hinted in a review about its size despite being tucked away.

The Corner Pin is a cosy historic pub in York with brilliant staff, a lovely beer garden, and great ales, though it's missing food options and can be easy to miss.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • The staff are an absolute delight; folks like Greg are friendly, efficient, and full of knowledge about the drinks and the pub's rich history.
Areas for Improvement
  • They aren't serving food at the moment, so if you're after a meal with your drink, you'll have to head elsewhere first.
  • It can be a tad tricky to spot, tucked away on Tanner Row – you might walk right past it if you're not keeping an eye out.

  • With no specific operating hours listed right now, it might be tricky to plan a visit, and that uncertainty could put a damper on spontaneous trips.

  • The layout can feel a bit confusing at times, almost like it's got a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on, which might throw you off if you're not familiar with it.
  • It can get quite busy and overwhelming in parts, especially if you're after a quiet, relaxed pint rather than a high-energy atmosphere.

82/100
The Old Bank is a cosy, vibrant pub right in the centre of York, ideal for everything from a casual catch-up over drinks to cheering on your team during live sports.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and go the extra mile, like Jess who made our quiz night unforgettable with her top-notch recommendations and friendly chat.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from well-kept real ales to fun cocktails, and the food hits the spot with tasty options like kebab baguettes and a full English for under a tenner.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed, especially in the heart of York, which might make it a bit overwhelming during busy periods or high-profile events.
  • There are some restrictions for under-18s, particularly on weekends or during big matches, so it's worth checking ahead if you're planning a family outing.

The Artful Dodger is a cracking little rock bar in York that's full of character, with brilliant staff and live tunes, but it does have its rough patches like cleanliness that you might want to note.

  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, including local beers, real ales, and cocktails, so there's something to suit every taste without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some folks have mentioned hygiene issues, like messy toilets, which can put a dampener on things if you're not expecting it.
  • It can feel a bit quiet at times, especially on off nights, so the atmosphere might not always buzz as much as you'd hope.

The Punch Bowl is a classic Wetherspoon in York that's a go-to for affordable drinks and a buzzing vibe, though the food might not always hit the mark.
Pros and Cons

  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and lively, especially on a chilly evening – perfect for chatting with mates and making new friends.
Areas for Improvement

  • There have been a few reports of hygiene slip-ups, like finding hair in the food, which really puts a damper on the experience.

The Windmill Inn in York is a cosy, welcoming pub that's spot on for live sports and friendly chats, with solid grub and a good atmosphere, though it can be a tad pricey for what you get.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got some cracking food options, like that beef and ale pie or the Sunday roast – proper hearty and tasty when it's on point.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit hit or miss, like overcooked roasts or underwhelming potatoes that don't quite live up to the hype.
  • Prices are on the steeper side compared to nearby spots, so you might end up paying more for what's essentially standard pub fare.

The Burns Hotel is a charming, old-school pub in York that's full of character and budget-friendly vibes, though its strict rules and limited drinks could put some off.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cosy, traditional spot with plenty of character, perfect for a relaxed chat over a pint.
  • Prices are really reasonable, making it a great choice if you're watching your wallet.
Areas for Improvement
  • The drink options are pretty limited – mostly just Sam Smith's beers, with no gin or much choice in wine, which might disappoint if you're after variety.
  • The strict no-phone rule can feel a bit heavy-handed, with staff sometimes coming across as rude when enforcing it.

The Terrace is a lively sports bar in York with great screens and deals, but it's got its ups and downs with service and food consistency – worth a try if you're up for some footie, just keep expectations in check.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The big screens and live sports coverage are brilliant – perfect for catching all the action from football, rugby, F1, and more, making it a top choice for sports enthusiasts.
  • They've got some cracking special offers on drinks, like four Gordon's gins for £22 or mix-and-match cocktails, which really add to the fun without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • Hospitality can be hit or miss; some folks have had rough experiences where they've been asked to leave over silly things, which puts a dampener on the vibe.
  • Food quality isn't always consistent – like those chunky chips that sometimes lack crispiness, or portions that feel a bit underwhelming, such as the fish finger sandwich.

Areas for Improvement
  • With only a few reviews out there, it might not be the most talked-about spot yet, so you could be taking a bit of a punt on it.
