Stone Roses Bar, York

A student music bar with a monochromatic colour scheme, livened up by numerous murals, video screens, neon lights and assorted memorabilia in all directions. An upstairs balcony overlooks proceedings, while two pool tables provide entertainment if the music isn't enough for you. The bar holds a row of mainstream keg taps, with a solitary Bradfield Farmers Blonde on handpump in just about passable condition. I might have given it an extra point if the music was decent, but it was definitely the wrong genre for me.

Stone roses bar is now a student led late night bar/venue for good jukebox rock music and cheap spirits deals. This is very popular on student nights and gets very busy, not usually my sort of place but they do play very good music and it has a very good atmosphere when busy in the evenings. Two floors offer tabels and chairs as well as a space for dancing. The bar choice used to be very very poor but there was a renovation a few months ago and they now have two hand pulls on the bar. There is no sign indicating what they are, just that one is a real ale and one is a real cider. I tried to inquire what the beer was i was ordering but was simply told "a blonde one" so cannot tel if it a house beer or a Thwaites beer in disguise. Whatever it was it was expensive at £3.50! Guinness and Newdastle brown are also very over priced at £3.90 and £.50 respectively. This bar serves its purpose and has been improved somewhat with the new bar offer now available. it also serves until 2:00 am every morning, worth a visit if this is your sort of thing.
