The Cross Keys

Jim's York Pub Guide


 Cross Keys  
 It's funny how pubs in the same street can have markedly different clientelle. I visited this after a quick jar in the Fox and Roman, with its Mercedes CLK's in the car park, to visit this one five hundred yards along the road and a car park full of brickies' vans. Definately more rough and ready, this place seems to cater for those more interested in drink than in food. Not my kind of drink though - fridges full of Moscow Mule, Budweiser etc behind the bar and no real ale at all. I consoled myself with a John Smith's Smooth and read posters of the heavily advertised sporting highlights to come on Sky. Behind me, slot machines jangled and I could see a hotly contested game of pool being played in a far corner. A lot of the punters seemed to know one another, and I guessed it would busier than the other pub later on. Whether you'd feel as welcome in it is a different matter.
