Victoria Vaults, Yorkback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Accommodating and friendly staff. It's an Old Mill brewery pub that has 4 hand pumps with Old Mill brews available-- and they were in good nick. Cozy pub with a lot of space to move about. Apparently the Monday quiz night is very popular there. I liked it a lot, and would return to patronize it.

Still a good locals' pub, though a bit light on the choice of real ales. Well run, however, by a friendly couple.
Live music with local jazz outfit on first and third Friday of the month.

Very much a local's pub - I got the sense this is an example of the type of alehouse where the drinking residents of York head for when wishing to avoid the tourist traps or the hangouts of the rugby shirt and blazer types. Fairly basic, unpretentious and used by those with a preference for plain, even blunt speaking whilst being equipped with bawdy good humour. Landlord is fairly chatty and attentive. There are a couple of handpulled ales, unfortunately the Jennings was off for my visit. Basically sound.

Popular live music events.

Decently sized place, just outside the city walls. Seems friendly and welcoming, couple of beers on, plenty of seating when quiet. I imagine that it might be quite local based when busy, but I am sure it would be just as welcoming.
