| A proper pub in every sense of the word! Four rooms off the main entrance corridor and a single bar with a good selection of ales - they manage to get a few local brews in as well as their standard range of "national" cask beers (e.g. John Smiths Cask/Bombardier which I imagine the pubco insist they sell). Anyway it is a classic of its type and well worth finding. It even has a bar billiards table which must be a rarity in these parts. Very much a community pub but welcoming to "strangers" who make the effort to find it. mcroyal - 27 Feb 2012 11:08 |
| still very much on song...committed to two rotating unusual beers (for York at least) Wylam, Goose eye, Great Newsome, Ilkley and recently an excellent Maxim dark ale...Rumour has it that they may have Old Spot on board from Cullingworth! Watch out for a new, regularly updated website. caliwag - 31 Oct 2011 21:57 |
| This is what I call a real local pub, with a glazed brick facade. The Golden Ball were serving Salamander Brewing Company “Golden Salamander” - £3.05, the increasingly ubiquitous Wells-Young’s “Bombardier”, Everard’s “Tiger” Northumberland Brewery “Black Dog” and Timothy Taylor “Golden Best” - £3.00. Ceramic nick-nacks abounded in groups of three around the periphery of the Bar Room – the flying ducks, beloved of Hilda Ogden, corpulent ladies, frogs, chickens, Guinness toucans, pigs 7 swallows. A superb, unspoilt Victorian pub with a glazed brick bar – 8/10 5thearlofwimbourne - 22 Oct 2011 14:19 |
| Stunning unspoilt community pub with an excellent range of beers. I had a stunning pint of TT Landlord. It's slightly off the beaten track but well worth tracking down. simontheeditor - 26 Jun 2011 09:15 |
| A little gem. Always worth a visit when I'm in York. Great choice of good Real Ales (Great pint of Tiger bitter). Lovely beer garden when the sun shines. One of York's top 5 five pubs. BarStallBert - 20 May 2011 22:51 |
