A curious cross between a micro, a bottle shop and a tourist trap. 'Ye Olde' is appropriate to the building but it has apparently only been a pub since 2013. As mentioned previously, there is a very small bar area on one side, still boasting 6 handpumps and a huge selection of tins and bottles from mainly Yorkshire breweries, and a slightly larger room the other side opening into the market with a further covered seating area outside. Cask beers were their own 3 house ales, brewed by Rudgate, plus guests Rudgate Vanilla Mild, Wilde Child Elaborate Definition and Roosters Easy Going Assassin, all at £4.80 apart from one. Some good beers and ok for a quick one if passing but you have to be lucky to grab a space if you are planning on staying.

Visited here twice on our short visit to York , 6 Handpulls split into 2 banks of 3 in the tiny bar area , the 3 to the right had the house beers from Rudgate , Best , Dark and a decent Tavern Stumbler , the 3 to the left had Brass Castle Bad Kitty , Treboom Avant Garde and an enjoyable Atom OHM , lots of craft cans(60+)the majority if not all from Yorkshire as are the spirits .
Friendly locals and staff .

Enjoyed our visit to this bar with it's cask beers and an array of bottles. Small bar area in the front on the Shambles street itself with an area outside at the back by the markets. Chose Brass Castle Life's a beach which was fine.
