Pavement Vaults, York

Modern cafe bar from the Pivovar group with a clutch of craft and some good cask ales. Not unpleasant and the 6 handpumps offered TT Landlord and Landlord Dark along with brews from Bristol, Fyne and Tapped, plus a Lilleys Cider.

Modern city centre bar focusing more on food, cocktails and gin but also surprisingly providing pretty decent real ale. Landlord is the regular beer plus a few rotating guests, had a reasonable Jaipur, the bar itself is trendy and popular. Table service only post-Covid.

Called in last month and found it to be a trendy bar with both cask and craft beers. Chose Roosters London Thunder which was fine.

Achingly trendy bar at the top of Piccadilly. Due to the large windows and the fact that all the tables are in the windows, this is a place to see and be seen. Heavy metal chairs and tables abound. Not that much decoration around, so it echoes a bit when empty. Full of airheads who said "like" every third word on our visit. My pint of Binghams Wai-iti Wakhatu was in very good nick though and MS CAMRA's glass of Sangiovese was good qualiry as well. We'll probably call in for one again next time we're in York to see what's on the pumps.

Quite a bare L shaped interior 7 real ales and "craft keg" served. Does the job as as part of a crawl but maybe not the place for a session.

Attractive semi-modern bar / restaurant with the bar separating a small seating area and rather larger dining room at each end. Also has two further seating areas in the vaults down a spiral staircase at one end or conventional stairs at the other. Eight real ales in a variety of styles on handpump, but on a cold day I opted for the Bristol Beer Factory Milk Stout (which was on top form). Also features some interesting keg beers too.
