Old Boots left this review about Pivni
Small half timbered three storey European style bar. 10 fonts for interesting european beers mostly served in the correct glassware plus three handpulls for British ales. Remarkable range of foreign bottled beers which are on show in a large glass case as you come in. There are a few small tables with tiny stools by the large front windows where you can watch the tourists going past in the tiny street, some tall stools along the bar and further seating upstairs, there isn't a lot of standing room. Plain red walls are enlivened by enamel German and Belgian brewery adverts and the ceiling is low, with dark beams. The staff were friendly and served me fairly quickly, another interesting York pub well worth a visit.
Summer 2010 update:-
Formerly called PIVO it has been renamed in Spring 2010 to Pivni, apparently the Czech for beery. It now has strong ties to Thornbridge / Bernard like the Sheffield Tap and three out of the four handpumps were serving Thornbridge beers including Pivni which I take to be specially brewed for the bar, alas no Jaipur but there were some bottles of Brewdog among the worldwide exotica. There are also three varieties of Bernard Pivo on one of the massive ceramic european keg founts.
