Enjoyed my visit to this friendly 2019 Good Beer Guide pub just off the city walls. It was a welcome refreshment stop while I completed the walk round the walls last month. I chose Yorkshire Dales Cafe Amsterdam which was fine.

Listed on Camra's regional inventory of historic interiors, the Phoenix was built in 1830 and had its last major refurbishment in 1897 - subsequent recent work has been sensitively done in consultation with people who know about these things. It therefore remains a traditional pub in which it is a pleasure to spend a period of relaxation with a beer. I went for the Beer Monkey Bitter Revival, which the landlord was able to inform me is one of the successors to Copper Dragon - it didn't taste very much like their Best Bitter to me, but it was a pretty good drink anyway - the pump clip, by contrast, was a complete mess (see photo). I agree with previous reviewers: this is definitely worth a visit.

The wife's favourite pub in York so after a few beers in various places on Fossgate we made our way here for a couple of night caps.
Fairly empty when we arrived so we grabbed a table seat and settled in, within minutes a large group of lads arrived and livened the pub up, looked like they had been at a wedding before hand.
5 hand pumps with a good range of Yorkshire brewed ales on. I had a couple of very good pints of Bad Seed's Columbus IPA @ 4.6% which rounded the night off just perfectly.
Always worth a visit when in York.
