Old Boots left this review about Tank & Paddle

A Stonegate pub looking a bit tatty now, it also comes with more screens than you can shake a stick at, some are even built into the booth seating at one end so you don’t miss any sport, the news is on just a couple of screens. Only two beers on; a Pennine and an average Taylors Landlord. Great river views but too much, too loud, tinned music.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Tank & Paddle

This bar adjacent to the River Ouse is much larger than it initially seems. You descend a short flight of steps into the main bar area where there is a large drinking space around an L-shaped bar, with one side overlooking the river.

A fairly large group were present along with a few smaller groups. With late night opening even on a Monday (at least midnight and possibly 1am), this is clearly quite a popular place late at night and people were still arriving as I walked out.

On the cask ale front, there were 3 - Sharp's Doom Bar & Wensleydale Rainbow Rising & Paved Paradise. Craft beers were Brewdog Hazy Jane, Thornbridge Jaipur, Northern Monk Eternal, Beavertown Gamma Ray, Vocation Heart and Soul & Atom Speed of Sound & Pink Noise.

My Paved Paradise was enjoyable. This is certainly one I will note down for any future late night drinking in York. I believe it opens quite early too.

Strongers . left this review about Tank & Paddle

The Tank and Paddle is a large wooden floored U-shaped bar on the west side of Ouse Bridge. Steps from the entrance lead down to the bar area where booths run across the front wall to the right. High tables run up the left-hand side where floor to ceiling windows look onto a long decked balcony that overlooks the River Ouse. The L-shaped bar with tiled surround sits mid-way along the right-hand wall and at the rear is some open plan seating that feels more like a dining area. During a recent mid-week afternoon visit Sky Sports and Racing TV were muted on the televisions whilst some background music played. Live music is advertised for every Thursday evening and there is a phone quiz every Sunday evening. I found the service to be friendly and there was a good atmosphere even though it was quiet. However, I imagine it would get a bit hectic in here for me on a Friday and Saturday evening. The premium and craft keg is dominant at the bar, but there are four hand pumps that were drawing Sharp’s Doom Bar, Great Newsome Brewery’s Peacock, Kirkstall’s Pale and Ilkley’s Mary Jane. I had a pint of the latter three, all of which were served well. This isn’t really my sort of place, but the misses and girls likes it hence the extended stay.
