The Kings Arms, York

Very cheap beer and reasonably priced, acceptably tasting lager (compared with Carling, Fosters etc). Unfortunately the bitter is chilled which sums up the pub as a haunt for tourists rather than beer drinkers (can get quite frustrating at the back of a long queue of tourists who repeatedly ask for a bottle of Magners/pint of Guinness no matter how many times the staff tell them that as a Sam Smith's pub they only sell Sam Smith's products). It is nonetheless a very pleasant watering hole, especially on a nice day when you can sit, pint in hand, on the bank of the River Ouse.
