Yates York

Yates York is a lively two-floor pub in central York, positioned beside the River Ouse on Church Lane. Its setting combines a city-centre location with a spacious beer garden, giving the venue an outdoor option alongside its indoor bar and dining areas.

The venue serves pub food and drinks across a range of menus, including main, lunch and drink, kids, brunch and set-menu choices. This makes it suitable for a casual meal, a daytime stop during a shopping trip or food alongside an evening drink. The food offer is designed for a broad mix of occasions rather than a single style of dining.

Sport is a central part of the venue’s character, with fixtures shown across football, rugby, horse racing and other events. The atmosphere is geared towards social visits, particularly when a major match is taking place. A pool table adds another option for entertainment, while the two-floor layout provides space for different types of visit, from a relaxed drink to a busier night out.

Yates York attracts a mixed crowd of local residents, students and tourists. Its friendly, energetic style suits informal gatherings, after-work drinks, casual meals and celebrations. The venue also runs regular events, giving the calendar a changing programme beyond its food, drinks and sport offer.

The beer garden is useful for outdoor drinks and socialising when the weather allows, while the indoor areas provide the main setting for food, entertainment and televised sport. The venue can also accommodate private hire, making it an option for organised celebrations and group occasions. Booking enquiries can be made directly with the venue.

With its riverside position, accessible pub menu, sports coverage and entertainment across two floors, Yates York offers a flexible setting for groups and informal visits. It is particularly suited to guests looking for a sociable pub atmosphere close to the city’s central shopping, hospitality and riverside areas.
