  1. A

    Ye Olde Starre

    Licensed since 1644, this is a bit of a tourist trap, but an altogether excellent pub that is popular with locals. It was used as a morgue by the Roundheads, but the atmosphere's improved since then. It has decent ales and a heated outdoor patio overlooked by the minster.

    Ackhorne

    Tucked away from beery, sloppy Micklegate, this locals' inn is as comfortable as old slippers. Some of the old guys here look like they've morphed with the place. There's a pleasant beer garden at the back.

    King's Arms

    York's best-known pub is a creaky place with a fabulous riverside location - hence its enduring popularity. A perfect spot for a summer's evening.

    Blue Bell

    A tiny, tiny pub with décor dating from 1798 and a surprisingly contemporary crowd (read: lots of young people).

    Black Swan

    A classic black-and-white Tudor building where you'll find decent beer, nice people and live jazz on Sundays. Nice.
