The Golden Ball, York

Apart from the beer there is really nothing else to commend it. The decor and welcome are both cold and uninviting. No food. Not suitable for children. I hear the same 2 musicians have been playing there every week for years and you can't hear yourself think when they are playing. Not a particularly nice area of York - surrounded by miserable social housing and 2 up 2 downs. A better pub nearby is the White Swan on Bishopthorpe Road - it has good beer and atmosphere.
