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.

City Screen
Appealing modern building in a converted printing works, screening both mainstream and art-house films. There's also a nice cafe-bar on the terrace overlooking the river.

Blue Bell
This is what a real English pub looks like – a tiny, wood-panelled room with a smouldering fireplace, decor (and beer and smoke stains) dating from c 1798, a pile of ancient board games in the corner, friendly and efficient bar staff, and Timothy Taylor and Black Sheep ales on tap. Bliss, with froth on top.

Ackhorne
Tucked away off beery, sloppy Micklegate, this locals' inn is as comfortable as old slippers − some of the old guys here look like they've merged with the furniture. There's a pleasant beer garden at the back, and an open-mic night for local musicians on the first Tuesday of the month.
