The Terrace, York

hmmmmmmmmmm. Over the space of a year a series of reviews all saying how bad the Terrace is. To be fair can't disagree with any of it. Then, FIVE (count them !!!!) reviews in the space of a couple of days all saying how great it is! 10 out of 10 and all that. As If! Call me sceptical, but seeing as all these people have only made one comment ever makes me highly suspicious that all the recent reviews are actually THE PUB OWNERS heehee!
OK so quick lowdown on the Terrace - quite probably the worst pub in York. Beer is pricey and poor. Food is barely edible. Bar Staff are usually friendly. Landlord is obnoxious and rude. Usually dead in the week but rammed with Chavs on a Saturday because they show illegal Sports on some arabic TV channel. But without doubt the worst is the security staff. When I was there saw 4 students on table next to me. Now I'm not the biggest student fan, but one of them told the girl collecting the glasses that his pint was off (he'd not managed to drink more than a sip). Within 5 minutes all 4 had been thrown out. No apology, nothing. The weirdest part is that they weren't causing any sort of trouble at all, yet on the sectino next to them was a load of football hooligans shouting, swearing and generally being rowdy and intimidating. What did the wonderful bouncers do about them? nothing.
Yorks overflowing with great pubs, with something to suit everyone no matter what you're after. The Terrace (and I mean the Terrace of 2008) is a pub to avoid at all costs!

So, just to clear things up -
