Old Boots left this review about The White Horse
Large brick built Thwaites pub just across from Bootham bar. One long narrowish room with a nice old counter with a greyed up bar back, five pulls with three of the “Thwaites” range, keg drinkers are supplied with the usual suspects from three low T-Bars. Mine was fairly average, but that’s Thwaites for you nowadays. There’s a nice fireplace at one end and an enlarged map of part of York on one wall with pictures of three of the bars (gates) fixed in the correct places. Usual screens and machines, very quiet early Black Eye Friday afternoon on my visit In contrast to nearby pubs.

A reasonably-large town pub with a nice large frontage, but not very deep so just one long room across the width with wooden floors and traditional furnishings. The bar counter and back seems fairly old but has been done up in modern colours, as has the rest of the room. The pub has lost its pool table and is now equipped for live music, although nothing was advertised; conversely food is advertised but there was no sign of it. Ales are from Thwaites, with Original and IPA on and Amber and Gold 'coming soon'. Nothing special but a good solid pub.

Brainy Pool left this review about The White Horse
hardly a must visit pub, but as a typical red brick Thwaites house that you could include on a crawl of the area it’s fine. a few real ales on though uninspiring for York. standard pub layout including pool table etc. A bit rough but nothing terrible.
