Slug and Lettuce, Yorkback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Went in on Saturday to watch the rugby. Busy with people getting in an early start, judging by cocktails being made up. Did the job, albeit difficult to hear the commentary and had Black Sheep on, so better than other Slut & Leglesses in that respect but there are other pubs nerby which are much better if you're looking for ale.

I'm sure this chain used to insist on an older clientele, but this seems to have gone by the wayside. In any case, it's sterile and pretentious. There are plenty of decent boozers within two minutes of it such as the Golden Lion or the Olde Starre Inn.

Spacious and funky, the Slug proudly displays local art from the University nearby. Clientele are almost exclusively students and the local fashionista, although race-goers find their way there from time to time.
Drinks are expensive but the staff are friendly and highly individual and the cocktail and shooter list is quitye extensive.
Best times to go - daytime for a coffee and bite to eat, straight after work for your 'trophy' pint.
Visit there twice and Tim and Win the managers will class you as a regular and know your name automatically...!

Thought this was a site about 'pubs'. This is not a pub, it's a branch of Ikea!
Too many of the bars in York are like this - stick 'traditional', save money.
(Yes I am old(ish) before you ask!)

Nah, doesn't do it for me, Can't put my finger on why, but i never feel comfortable in here.

A one of the chain bars, but despite provides a pleasant place to drink. The food is nice and surroundings great, not to mention the location in the centre of town. The only downside is the slightly expensive drinks and the habit of playing music far too loud.
