Kennedy's, York

Trendy bar aimed at younger people down little stonegate. This bar is fairly laid back during the day but in the evenings especially at weekends it becomes almost a nightclub with loud music blasting out and all tables and chairs moved out so pretty much standing room only.The main bar is spread along the back wall with another smaller bar upstairs but if you want their lone ale this is situated on the downstairs bar on the right. On my visit they were dispensing Buxton brewery moor top and this was a superb beer in really nice condition, this went against everything i would expect from a beer in a bar like this late on a Saturday night but was hideously expensive at £3.90. This is really not my sort of place but it is very popular, if you find yourself being forced to a late night bar there are worse examples that have no ale at all so I suppose credit for that but I wont be returning any time soon unless forced again.

Kennedy's is a modern bar in an old building,this another early opener for drinks which suited me on my crawl. Once inside there is an oblong shaped area to the front which has normal tables and chairs and a wood bench seat,the bar is situated to the rear and is up a few steps,this area has leather settees and tall tables and chairs for seating. There was one real ale on the bar which was called Whiter Shade of Pale,this was quite a nice drink. The pub was empty on my Saturday morning visit and fairly laid back with some quiet background music,no doubt later in the day it will fill up with the bright young people of York.
