Bar 38, York

Now a vodka revolution.

Vodka range is absolutely huge and theres a cocktail list with all the favourites plus a few specials. Nice outdoor terrace with great views over the river. Food is served at lunchtime, burgers, steaks, sandwiches etc...

Evenings it transforms into a bar/club atmosphere with a DJ playing chart/indie music.

Toilets are often filthy, stench of vomit is overpowering some nights too.

Dusk, York

Popular bar in the middle of town with a late license. Usually full of students!
Theres often a DJ or live music on at weekends, tends to be a bit left-field though
More a cocktail bar than a beer drinkers' bar, although there were offers on bottles of stella. Food available during the day.

The main downside is cleanliness. The gents are filthy, broken locks on the doors, broken windows and graffiti. Tables and Bar surface don't seem to get cleaned that often either.

Yard Of Ale, Birmingham

Good place for sports. Food wasn't bad either, although there wasn't any cask ale, perhaps yard of extra smooth would be a more appropriate pub name! Although i've not been in for a while so havn't seen whether or not the rumours of cask coming to the yard are true.

The decor and atmosphere (it's underground!) won't suit everyone but I found it fairly comfortable. Convenient for New St. Station.
