Blue Scrumpy left this review about Fossgate Tap

Corner bar with a fairly impressive solection of cask ales and craft beers. Entering from Fossgate, there are a couple of steps up to the bar area. I did see some stairs heading up to at least one other level, but similar to Graham below, did not explore, as there was sufficient seating on the ground level.

Cask ales on were Cameron's Road Crew, Strongarm & Lion's Pride, Brass Castle Bad Kitty, Tooth and Claw Barley-Quin & Brew York Fennec Blonde. Craft beers were Northern Monk Faith, Holy Faith, Patron's Project Amy Hastings/The Magician/Pastore/Cherry Sour & Patron's Project 7 Deadly Sins/Adrian Baxter/Pinta Wrath/Chocolate Chilli Stout (why they have such complicated names is beyond me!), Brew York Juice Forsyth, Tooth and Claw Cat Amongst, Vault City Tasty Rainbow Orange & Yeastie Boys Bigmouth.

More crafty than the Blue Bell and the Hop, but still an interesting place for a beer.

A large trendy sort of place, claiming to be over 3 floors, although we didn't explore to find out. The main bar is in the central room, with entrances via seating/eating areas either side. It's a bit heavy on recycled wood, but nice enough. Cask ales seem to usually include Cameron's Strongarm and a couple from Brew York, with guests on this visit being Brass Castle Bad Kitty, Cameron's Road Crew and Rudgate Simply the Zest. Some crafty things available also. I can't say it compares with the adjacent Blue Bell and Hop but it is fair enough for a pint.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Fossgate Tap

I seemed to have overlooked this pub each time visiting York, maybe as it's so close to the Bluebell. Anyway made it through the doors on this visit and found they had four ales on handpump. These were Brass Castle Bad Kitty, Turning Point Drones in the City, Rudgate Ruby Mild and Rudgate Dinga Dinga. Various seating to be found here, some small tables and chairs outside, a largish lounge area, seating opposite the bar and a small front area near the corner entrance.
