The Artful Dodger Bar, York

This pub used to be called Walkers bar yeas ago it is now on the micklegate circuit but at least it still has real ales on the bar. Once inside there is one longish room and this is fairly well furnished and there were two real ales on i had a drink of York Terrier this was a fairly decent drink the other beer was Black Sheep bitter. This pub is best visited during the day as it gets very busy weekend evenings.

Late opening bar serving beers from black sheep & york breweries.

A long thin bar with three sections, the seating area at the back has Oliver Twist inspired murals on the wall, otherwise the décor is a bit spartan, there's some seating at the front and a bar counter with vertical drinking in the middle. More traditionally furnished than the modern bar style would suggest but there is music and big screens, the T Bars have small video screens built in so you won't miss that important goal, try, six or putt while getting your round in. There's a couple of banks of hand pulls with local beers from York and Black Sheep, fairly mediocre, certainly not brilliant but OK if a little too warm. The service was friendly and being a late Friday afternoon quiet but that would be the lull before the storm in Micklegate.
