The Owl, York

A single public bar at the front road side with a well regarded, judging by the framed awards, restaurant at the rear.  The bar is simply and traditionally furnished with benches, a mix of tables, and a couple of leather armchairs by the piano. Three pulls on the counter serve Yorkshire beers, Timothy Taylors Landlord, Black Sheep Bitter and another traditional bitter from nearby Helmsley, Yorkshire Legend and in good nick. In spite of the slightly pretentious name it's quite down to earth in the bar, walkers are welcome and the prices are reasonable enough for a pub in the deepest North Yorks Moors . Other than the award certificates the room is decorated with photos and prints of the locality, antlers and old maps.
