The Hansom Cab
Jim's York Pub Guide

Opposite the Early Learning Centre, so usher the wife and kids in there and pop in for a quick half. I've noticed there are often bouncers outside on Saturday afternoons, which doesn't bode well - are they expecting trouble? Cheap beer though. It's not often you see a pint of anything for under £1.50 anywhere these days. Quite spacious and dark inside, with a TV for the Saturday footie results, and one of York's older pubs still standing in a street which once housed many more. See history.

Real Ale Nearby Pubs to Crawl To:

Samuel Smiths, but check the blackboard outside for offers The Roman Bath

Other Information Bar Ha Ha

The cheapest ale in the city centre? Bar 38

Originally opened as a Coffee House in 1838, it was soon changed to the Burns Hotel (Starbucks please note). It seems hotels were where posh Victorians drank (kind of like the Slug and Lettuce today) while the infamous Gin Shops were the haunt of the poor (kind of like J. D. Wetherspoons today. Not that the council will grant him a licence). Renovated and renamed in March 1975.
