I get why the Trackside is not in the GBG..its lost its character after the refurb. Art Picture house one of spoons better pubs to be fair. White Lion would have been worth a visit. Good tootle round the pubs James👍🍺
@wandojames18 күн бұрын
If it wasn't for the charm of sitting out on the platform I wouldn't bother. Made to feel about as welcome as a fart in a space suit on the last three visits. Anyone can be having a bad day, but after that trip it left me feeling 'why bother?' especially now that I've found the Broad Street Social. I'll search out the White Lion next time I'm there for an ELR event.

@wandojames it was such a cosy warm welcoming pub was the Trackside, Beer mats on the ceiling, traditional seating...they moved the bar, smartened it up and ruined it. Rose n Crown has just reopened..might be worth a go, cheers Slurpy Dave👍🍺

When walking from the Minster Inn to the Maltings, don't go up Marygate and down Bootham go down Marygate and through the Museum gardens or along the side of the river, much quicker. Also the the Maltings is not a Black sheep pub it's a free house that always has Black sheep on tap as well as a good selection of other breweries beers. You also need to do about another half dozen tours of York as you have missed off so many great pubs. The Falcon, the Slipper, the Fox, the Volunteers, the Wellington the Black horse to name but a few. So I look forward to seeing further instalments of your informative videos of pubs. York pubs in particular.

That was a lot of walking! But all part of the fun of a pub crawl. The Phoenix is great, especially the garden when everything is in bloom. I actually love the York Tap though, in the station- huge range of beers plus it’s a great space

The Cosy Club was a furniture store called McDonalds, my mother still has the fold down table she bought in 82. Before that I believe it was a cinema, ABC maybe. Lived in and around York since 77. You went to few pubs I have never been to and will happily get a drink in them. Thanks for the vid.

Tetley's always tasted a bit like shoe polish to me. Though their "Imperial" was better. The short-lived Webster's 'Choice" was better still. I had quite a well off pal when I lived in Halifax in the 90s and we used to go to the Big 6 in his old Bentley Continental convertible and park it on the cobbles outside, then retrieve it, a little hungover, the next day. It's obviously being extremely well cared for these days so I shall pop in again.
