Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Victoria

Comfortable corner pub located a short distance outside the walls on the south-eastern side of the city. The L-shaped floor plan has been opened out and partly remodelled in a curious style that is, in part, somewhat reminiscent of a touristy Mediterranean restaurant. I did try visiting a couple of nights previous, but a very large and boisterous Friday evening party (which I was pleased to avoid) that was leaving as I arrived had drunk all six handpumps dry. Trying this outlet for Old Mill Brewery again, they had managed to get their Blonde and Red Goose (£3.95) back on again, along with three ciders. On a calmer Sunday evening, they also had lots of traditional tabletop games out for people to play.

A corner local owned by the Old Mill brewery, done up in 1980's DIY style, complete with recycled brickwork arches and stained pine woodwork. Despite being in one large C-shaped room, it effectively retains former bar areas as one side is carpetted while the other has a bare floor, pool table and dartboard. Three of their own ales on handpump but condition tends to be a bit dubious - not sure if it is the pub or the beer. Not really worth the short walk from mainstream York.

Classic corner pub exterior, inside is a bit of a bricky grotto, there are brick fireplaces, random brick arches and pillars. Where it’s not brick it’s pine; counter, chairs and tables, stools all from the world of pine, there is some banquette seating to be fair. Carpet and board floors complementing the traditional red and cream colour scheme. Recreational pool table and music are available I could see only one screen but a couple of machines and an hard to use dart board. Decor wise there’s brassy and pottery jugs and vases among quite a lot of old lights with nice prints and maps, and a few bits and bobs on the window cills. It’s an Old Mill pub, with just their Bitter and Blonde across the six pulls, nothing unrecognisable among the keg choice. A bit quirky and ok for one if you’re in the area.
