Visited here twice on our short visit to York , 6 Handpulls split into 2 banks of 3 in the tiny bar area , the 3 to the right had the house beers from Rudgate , Best , Dark and a decent Tavern Stumbler , the 3 to the left had Brass Castle Bad Kitty , Treboom Avant Garde and an enjoyable Atom OHM , lots of craft cans(60+)the majority if not all from Yorkshire as are the spirits .
Friendly locals and staff .

Enjoyed our visit to this bar with it's cask beers and an array of bottles. Small bar area in the front on the Shambles street itself with an area outside at the back by the markets. Chose Brass Castle Life's a beach which was fine.

Although I liked it, to be honest it’s a bit of a mess and trying too much to be something for everyone. it’s kind of like an old style tea room with an attached micropub/bar and alfresco seating on the market. I suppose you can’t expect too much in such a tourist trap of a location but it isn’t too bad and the bar should be cosy enough on an evening.
