Crystal Palace, Yorkback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Pool table still in there. Cheapest bitter in York (?) 1.80�. Only go there for the beer, atmosphere is dead.

Large, Sam Smiths boozer on the A59 about 15 minutes' walk from the city centre.
Outside, it has a front garden and has the feel of a house, which isn't typical of their pubs, but inside it is- utter no-nonsense boozing in an ungentrified, upretentious environment.
. A central bar serves two large rooms, one of which has a pool table- which I suppose is unusual for a SS pub.
The usual reliable if slightly dull OBB bitter is available, although at the price it's at, who's complaining.
It's not worth the trek out in itself but is situated about halfway to the excellent Fox from town, and as such is worth a visit if around.

This was one of my favourite pubs when I lived in York up to a year ago. Friendly Landlord, excellent beer and food. I know that Mick left around June just after me and I haven't been since. I hope the new landlord has kept it up.

Recently visited. Very pleasant indeed, lovely pint of Samuel Smiths Old Brewery. Served with a smile, and thoroughly enjoyed. I sat in the lounge, fresh, clean and very comfortable. The bar was busy with plenty of people enjoying the beer, playing pool, chatting etc. Will definately take myself back as soon as possible.. Not to mention the great value of �2 for a pint and a half!

Nice Pub,usual no-expenses spared refurb by Sams.Excellent beer,always well kept.Good value food,no smoking while food being served.Nice atmosphere from reading the paper to hectic nights when the pub is full.Seperate Pool area with strong Pool teams playing regular matches.

Nice and quiet just out of town pub with cheap Sam Smiths MILD, served a bit too cold but it's OK once stood for a while. Made a change from the more hectic "Hansom Cab" but now we have discovered Yorks only cask MILD, Tetleys in the "Blue Bell", doubt whether we will drink in here again.

The Crystal Palace is an excellent place to go for a quiet drink. The pub holds regular quiz nights and boasts both a darts board and pool table.
The drinks are very cheap and I've always come away from this place with spare money in my pocket.
The landlord and landlady are the perfect hosts and I felt very welcome.
