House of the Trembling Madness, York

A very nice bar situated upstairs above the bittle shop with a small bar on the right as you enter a cramped room full of taxidermy that makes for a nice unique feel. there is a very nice relaxed atmosphere in here with candles and low music that attracts a nice clientele happy to sat and quietly enjoy a beer or some food. On the beer front there were three real ales that were all in great shape. I opted for the bad seed cascadain dark ale which was a magnificent pint but outrageously expensive at £4.30, i was horrified. There were also a good number of imported European beers on draught including a nice Trappist beer at £2.70 a half. Overall a very nice relaxed bar to sit and enjoy fantasist beer although the price will be mostly be keeping me away as it was outrageous to charge that for a local Yorkshire cask ale.

The House of Trembling Madness is a bar that is situated above a bottled beer shop. Once inside you enter the bottle shop,you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the bar,there is a small area to the right which was full on my Saturday dinner visit,the main room is fairly small and has a mix of seating types,some had what looked like sheep skins on them. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Thornbridge Ashover which went down very well,i could not make out the names on the other two beers. Decent background music was playing and food was being served. I felt quite comfortable in this bar. Pub visited 23/5/2015
