Never having actually ventured in a Manahatta before, I took the opportunity to try one. Oh dear. Bits of the building look interesting, especially the horseshoe balcony, but it now just contains a vast cocktail bar/club sort of place. Beers? A couple of Brewdog and most of Molson Coors lager range. I am sure if you are a hen party looking to take advantage of the 2:4:1 cocktail offers it is perfect. Otherwise stay away.

Banyan Bar is a newish bar housed in a old fairly large building. Once inside you have to go up a few steps to get into the main room,this room is fairly big and oblong shaped with the bar facing,there is a raised area to the front which has bench seating,the lower area has tall tables and chairs to the right and normal ones to the left. There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Sharps Atlantic which was a decent enough drink,the other beer was Bombardier. The pub was packed on my late Saturday afternoon visit with the bright young people of York,making me look a bit out of place. Not really my sort of pub,but it does stock a couple of real ales which is a plus point. Pub visited 23/5/2015
