This post sees us touring the many taverns, hostelries and pubs of the city of York, in no particular order. Let's start with one of my favourites, the unspoint Blue Bell, photographed when it was in the hands of Vaux Brewery.
Down a quiet side street is the Minster Inn.
On a narrow, cobbled, street, the Ackhorne.
Not far away, the lively Artful Dodger.
The Bay Horse can be found on Blossom Street.
Next up, the Blue Boar, on Castlegate.
Brigantes used to have a great cask ale range, but it's now closed.
Near the river, the Cock & Bottle.
The Corner Pin, a Mansfield Brewery house when photographed.
Leeds Brewery have recently (2015) opened the Eagle & Child.
The Exhibition can be found close to Bootham Bar.
The Falcon Tap (now renamed the Falcon) is on Micklegate.
The Five Lions has now become the Watergate Inn.
The Golden Fleece is one of York's oldest pubs and reputed to be haunted.
Here's the Golden Lion, on Church Street.
On Goodramgate we find the Royal Oak with the Golden Slipper next door.
Named after one of York's more (in)famous residents, the Guy Fawkes Inn is worth a visit.
The Hop is a recent addition from Ossett Brewery.
The Last Drop was one of a small number of pubs owned by the erstwhile York Brewery.
The Lighthorseman is a Thwaite's house, close to the city centre.
Another new pub..... a good 'un, the Market Cat.
Close by is Pivny (formerly Pivo).
Now we've arrived at the Masons Arms, a former Bass Charrington house.
Sadly, the Old Ebor is now "long term closed".
Part of the Pivovar Group, the newish Pavement Vaults.
The Phoenix Inn is just on the edge of the city centre and it's worth the walk.
Just off Walmgate, the Red Lion.
Not far away, the Rook & Gaskill.
The Rose & Crown is still going, but is seen here as a Tetley owned brew pub back in 1984.
Another pub with plenty of history, the Royal Oak on Goodramgate.
The Spread Eagle, once a great real ale house, is now closed.
The Swan, a former Tetley pub with a historic interior.
The Tap & Spile, Monkgate, has since reverted to its old name, the Black Horse.
Popular with the locals, the Three Cranes in the city centre.
Another ex York Brewery pub, the Three Legged Mare.
Another pub with a great beer range - the Waggon & Horses.
A relative newcomer..... and a welcome one. The Walmgate Ale House.
A decent Samuel Smith's pub is the Wellington.
Sadly, another Sam Smith's house, the York Arms, seems to be shut these days.
Not far away, by Bootham Bar, the White Horse (more Thwaites).
One can sit in the front bar of Ye Old Shambles Tavern and watch the tourists trundle past. The sensible ones pay a visit.
As darkness falls, we find ourselves at the Duke of York, another pub in the Leeds Brewery stable.
The Lamb & Lion has now become the Fat Badger.
We'll conclude this epic tour of York's pubs at the Golden Ball, a real community pub.
Next time, we'll be leaving the city of York behind.
