“Here's a traditional British pub where the cozy rooms are just a short walk from York's attractions and across the street from York Barbican; it is also a place where you can bring your dog. The meals stood out, especially the Sunday roasts, and the secluded beer terrace overlooking the River Foss adds to the atmosphere; I think it's a solid pick for visitors wanting a taste of local life.”
