The Cittie of Yorke

This super old time pub is utterly amazing. From the front it looks like the entrance to an old court building and looks like another nook in the meaty shoulders of high holborn. In fact the Cittie of York is revealed as you walk down the open passageway of the entrance through the wooden archways and dim lighting. There is a room to the left, a cellar bar downstairs and a large barn-like brewery hall at the back. There are large disused beer vats along the walls and the place is served by an independent brewery so everything from the Cola to the Cider is of a private brand. Drinks are £2.50 a pint and food is served from a canteen at the front at £5.50 a meal. The seating is divided between echoic booths with medieval furnishings and some tables out in the open of the bar.

The place is excellent value for money, very well themed and a pillar of the London drinking community also it doesn’t tend to get too overcrowded because of the lack of brand-names at the bar - 8/10.
