The Junction Brewhouse, York

Nicely refurbished pub brewing its own beer at the onsite brewery. Comfortable front room with settles and a booth facing the bar, along with a nice set of toilets. The rear room is larger and is used for meetings and also for the well attended carvery (over 70 during the Sunday we visited). Loads of handpumps over the two rooms but only three beers on in the front room. These were their own Trainspotter & Choo Choo Blonde (likely to change its name to Light Rail in the near future, so Paul told me) along with a Milestone beer. Both of the Junction beers were in good nick. Friendly welcome from Gill & Paul who were both on good form as we chatted to them. I also had a pint of the Trainspotter in Stonegate Yard later in the day which was also in excellent nick. Looks like they might have a winner there. Well worth the short walk from town (it's just past the Railway Museum) and we'll no doubt visit again next time we're in York. Well done guys for rescuing a pub with a less than savoury reputation in the past.
