York Tap, York

Situated on the platform at York railway station this is a must visit for the real ale drinker. A vast selection of ales on a large circular bar. All the beers I tried were in very good form and there is no better place to stay if you have just missed your train.

We called in around 7.30 on a Monday eve and the Tap was fairly quiet. There were 18 ales chalked up on the board, so we managed to squeeze in a few more. I especially liked the entrance to this tap and once through the doors the interior was a lot bigger than anticipated. I went for the Yorkshire Heart Hearty Bitter, Great Newsome Frothingham Best and Collingham Ales Artisans Choice. The staff were friendly and pleasant.
