The Rose and Crown
Also nearby to our boutique hotel, this Walmgate pub is a purveyor of famous ales and pie and is the perfect, hearty Yorkshire pub. Enjoy a pint in its cosy interior with traditional décor and indulge in its excellent classic pub food.
Ye Olde Starre Inne
This famous pub in the heart of the Shambles has an 18th-century sign spanning across the medieval street in one of the most photographed places in York. Ye Olde Starre Inne is York’s oldest continuously licencing pub and the perfect place to visit if you want to explore a piece of York’s history and experience a charming pub with old world character and tradition.
The Guy Fawkes Inn
Just a stone’s throw from top tourist attraction the stunning York Minster, The Guy Fawkes Inn is built on the very spot the conspirator was born. Become a part of history while you enjoy your pint in this Grade II listed building dating back to the 18th century.

Also just outside of the City Walls, near our Walmgate hotel, is the Rook and Gaskill, an award-winning pub.

The neighbourhood pub also offers a great selection of food including stone baked pizzas and sharing platters.
The Blue Bell
This small, traditional pub is wood-panelled with Edwardian décor housed in a grade II listed building that has remained unaltered since 1903. It’s York’s smallest public house and the first pint was poured here in 1798! Don’t be fooled by its unassuming outside façade, this tiny pub is a real hidden gem.
