More ways to pick a pub in York

Where this comes from

We read Google's business data for 292 York pubs on 26 Oct 2026, covering review topics, rating, hours, busy times and listed features. Each pub is ranked on how many of its Google reviews mention this, and the card says the number. Where a pub qualifies on Google’s listed features instead, the card says that. Nobody paid to be here. How we rank has the detail.

Hours, busy times and features come from Google and can change. Check with the pub before a special trip.
