The Wellington is one of my all time favourite pubs. I used to live in Frances Street, the next street over. We walked back from town shortly after moving there and took a path up from the river. We ended up walking up that street by accident and suddenly spotted this hidden pub.
I remember it being £1.12 per pint, when town was about £1.50-60. If you went for the quiz on a Sunday night, there would be masses of sarnies and the quiz bloke had to walk into each of the 3 rooms to ask the questions. Also skinning my knuckles on the mantle piece shelf even using the tiny cue on the pool table.

When we lived in York, we often had a stroll to the Phoenix, proper old fashioned pub, no jukebox, no music, no pool table with a nice little beer garden out the back.

Think its around £2.10 now for a pint of OBB
Was in their the other week on a Friday night, cracking pub, full of proper blokes just enjoying a pint and a bit of Craic. Came across a new pub I had never previously visitedl, The Black Horse in the city centre that had a cracking atmosphere. The Rook and Gaskill is my favourite though, for beer and atmosphere

My dad's old haunt in the 1930s He lived in hope St.
The Old White Swan. Quality.
And if you want to drink inside (no beer garden) once it gets a bit chilly, head over to Hop. They do canny pizza, too.

My mate used to live there upstairs. Many nights sat up all night card games, never seen the ghost
I lived in York for a brief time with an alcoholic. Lovable oaf, he was, and certainly knew his way around the pubs! He worked in the Swan. When he died (at 36), we had his wake in there.

Probably after my time. I was born and raised there but left in 88.
Definitely after your time. I lived there September 2013 until February 2014. He grew up in York and Leeds, but he died in October 2015,so I guess he was born in about 1977, so he wasn't a contemporary of yours.
Lovely city, mind.

Any Road RIP your mate, 36 is no age.
Aye RIP. Epileptic fit but I can't imagine the 20 years of heavy boozing helped!

Sam Smiths policy now is no mobile phones and no ecigs inside the pub or in the beer garden.

Don't enforce it though from what I've experienced.
Waggon and Horses is a decent pub, just outside Walmgate.
