BoBo LoBo in York

AWFUL SERVICE! RUINED GRADUATION NIGHT. Went in on a Saturday night (27th July) to celebrate my sisters graduation, 7 of us. Went straight upstairs where the shisa terrace is and was told that it was all full and there was a waiting list. I asked how many people on the waiting list and was told 2 before we could be sat. The guy that spoke to us, Jamie, told us he could arrange a table inside in the meantime so we could sit and get drinks while waiting for our turn outside. So we agreed and ordered a round of drinks while waiting. 30 mins went by and when i looked round, realised multiple new groups of people have been sat at the terrace. When i confronted Jamie about it, he just apologised saying it completely slipped out of his mind. Then i spoke to the so called "supervisor" Mads and she just apologised saying "Jamie already apologised so what do you want me to do?". There was no offer for an alternative solution or other suggestion considering a group of 7 people bought drinks and waited over 30 mins to then be told "humans make mistakes". Of course we do, but, as a paying customer, I am also expecting you to fix your mistakes instead of shrugging your shoulders. Rude and clearly unable to run the place.

Anastasia and Alex were amazing and so kind!! I can’t speak their praises enough! They were excellent and a credit to your company. Love them both and your they deserve a pay rise!! Exceptional service

I went here for a few drinks the other night with friends and witnessed the owner jump on a young lad for no reason at all. He then got his door staff to give him a beating. Absolutely disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I wouldn’t recommend this place and I won’t be going again!!

Lewys was great very kind and talkative to our table great advice ok the drinks really nice best vibe loved his attitude sold us realy nice drinks he

I came here with Alice and Evie for some drinks. We sat outside on the terrace and loved being able to sit back, people watch and occasionally interact with other customers. Fantastic, relaxing atmosphere.

Ross lovingly gave us a shot of blackcurrant cordial for free it was so kind of him and we really appreciate it xx thank you Ross xx

my first time at bobos went for drinks late at night with my friend, fin (b) was amazing, so in love, always came and asked if we wanted more drinks at the most perfect times, had a laugh, would come back just to see him again. lots of love for u fin <3

bobo is amazing !! the drinks are so wonderful some of the best i’ve had in york and the atmosphere of the bar was perfect. the best part was definitely the service though, finn b went above and beyond to make me and my friends feel welcomed, really attentive and friendly. we could not have felt more welcomes !!

Mads and Anna looked after us at my partner's staff do this evening, I recognise Mads from my staff do in early Jan. I cannot praise staff enough for their attentiveness to guests in the building. Really friendly and down to earth. The drinks deals are a bonus, but honestly price of drinks doesn't matter when there are such lovely staff on. A great team. Lovely atmosphere provided by staff.

Wife really like the drinks in the pineapple. For 2 beers and 3 cocktails it cost £43.50 which isn’t the cheapest but service was good, waitress very polite.

Worst mojito ever. I love a good mojito and have had everything from amazing to bog average over the years. This was by far the worst. On the cocktail menu, they claim 'best mojito in York' I honestly don't know how it could be that rubbish. Simple to make! And then they charge £9.50! Stick to bottled beer in here or avoid!

This is perhaps the best bar in York. Unpretentious. Good music. Good drinks. Reasonable pricing. What’s not to like?

Amazing service by everyone on shift today. Loved the atmosphere from the first minute of bring here

Me and my partner came here for cocktails and shisha after visiting previously in 2018. The staff were amazing and very attentive sitting us under heated seating and quickly taking our drinks orders. Definitely the best Mojito in York!

Claim to be the best mojito in york. Absolutely shocking never tasted anything like it service was shocking

Served a clearly incorrectly made espresso martini but they refused to refund, remake or replace. Guy who made it said he was the manager so it was tough. There are much much better and cheaper options on the same street and through-out York. Avoid

We bought a bottle of the cheapest prosecco and bady gave us the best service possible. we had such an amazing time thanks to him!

Looking for a place to get your groove on to a range of music ? then look no further. I’m sure dance tracks followed, old school RnB, followed dolly p…worked for me. The atmosphere was positive and friendly for a late night dancerie. Head here after midnight to prolong the night. Enjoy!

Was in york for the day from Manchester and this was by far the best place I visited! The drink selection is as fantastic and the ambiance was great! when we first got in we were served by the lovely Anna (I think that was her name!) and she was a great bartender! Then we sat outside and had some shisha, the table service was very quick and all the workers were so lovely!

Finn is fab! We love him and he gave us great service! 10/10 would recommend, loved our daiquiris they were amazing x

Walked in and was unusually quiet for a Saturday and a race day, but York generally seemed quieter for some reason - which was welcomed. I asked the barman for two Tom Collins and was met with the response 'The two for one offer isn't on.' I didn't say it was nor did I ask for it. I then ordered one Mojito for my brother. 'Is that one or two you want?' Er, just one please, as per what I've just asked for. Very strange response and approach to a customer. Cocktails were average. Appreciate it's not everyone's dream to work in a busy town center bar on a Saturday, but if that's what you choose to do then at least approach the role with apparent enthusiasm or a basic level of customer service.

We came in a Friday night and we had Shisha, the Shisha was meant to be for 1 hr but the lady took it after 30 minutes which wasn’t worth the £20. The drinks was good but I had the pina colada which came in a pineapple, whereas it leaked all over the table. The visit was a bit disappointing comparing it to my last visit.

Came here twice on our cheeky break to York. Best place for night life as its open til 2:30am. First night we sat downstairs and there was a dj on but everyone seemed to go upstairs so our second night we went upstairs and sat outside with a shisha and had cocktails. Staff were great as we had 2 young drunk girls on the table next to us, who kept bothering us ( one of them fell in the toilets when I was there. She missed the step and went face down on the floor, flying). The staff apologised to us for their behaviour and told us they had been asked to leave. Thankyou for a couple of great nights to be remembered. The cocktails are fab!!

Went for drinks as a couple and were greeted by friendly staff and great drinks. Comfortable seating, however quite cramped.

We love you liv!! Thank you so much for an amazing night!! Definitely will be back xxx lots of love xx

Great little bar. We went there every night for our break in York. The shisha was good, and the little devices to stop them falling over were brill. The doorman wouldn’t let me bring my leftover pizza in one light, which was absolutely fair enough, but kindly he asked for the bar staff to hold it for me. Would visit again.

Great cocktails 241 as we went on a Monday evening. Staff were attentive and Shisha was only £10 for 1 hour

Been there with few friends and probable never gonna come back.... All starter when we arrived as a group of 5 mix group.... Doorman (who we find out later call him self a PITBULL )told us that no more then 4 in group is allowed.....very strange as all businesses needs financial support ...but never mind.... After talking and talking doorman decided to let us in...Hi said just don't piss me off....WoW Staff inside was more relaxed and polite and after telling them about problem on the doors we had few cocktails served straight away and lady was very apologetic as I got feeling that this is not the first time.... As the night go on we went to smoke upstair to the sisha terrace and been told that its only for people with shish so we been send downstair outside.. While we smoke outside doorman was arguing with few guys ....I assuming that he refused them entry cos was 6 of them.... In the middle of that argument I heard from the doorman mouth very racial comment torwards one of the males (asian male) then he was saying to them guys that they very lucky that is lots of camera on this street otherwise .... I always like that place , but after all that what we witness don't think gonna come back again....

Don’t wear expensive shoes - they won’t let you in. Bad business model if you ask me. Group of 8 declined!!!!

Kim was the most beautiful server, she met our needs and ensured we had the most perfect time when my friends came from around the UK. She was polite and friendly not only with us but with other customers throughout the business. If you ever...

Cameron serves us was so polite was so lovely will come back<3 offered us really good deals and was so lovely will come back just to see the polite genuine smile on his face

Came here for my birthday with 10 of my friends. 7 of us got inside and got a drink and sat down, 3 of the party weren’t let in. The reason they gave us was because one of my friends outside couldn’t remember if there...

Denied entry due to the trousers I was wearing (@19:15), funnily they were the same as the doorman. You can stagger and vomit but nit wear casual trousers.

Used to be one of our favourite little bars in York, but won’t be off again. We were only in there a few weeks ago spending a fortune on cocktails, yet last night the bouncer decided he didn’t like the look of us for no...

We went in to have Shisha when it eventually came out it tasted of nothing (it should have raspberry) so we complained about it they took it back and said that’s what it’s meant to taste like. They wouldn’t refund the money or bring it...

i frequent bobos a lot and i typically have a great time, honestly one of my favourite places in York, the bouncers are friendly and even know me by face now! but the other day i came in, got 4 shots for £10 and a...

The bouncers at this place are an absolute disgrace. Randomly decide who they do and don't let in. Discriminate against others if you don't fit their 'culture'. One of the worse experiences I have ever had trying to enter the bar. Avoid at all costs....

Door staff seem to have a problem With groups of men! Got Removed for throwing 4 bottles On the floor ….. only ordered 1 Cocktail so explain that…. Oh no he went Back inside when I asked him,then his door man friend said didn’t know...

Not for singles! I was refused entry because I was on my own. No real explanation was offered other than it is their policy. I was sober and smartly dressed. They just don’t let people in on their own.

Drinks, music and bar staff are fine, but they need new door staff. As others have said the door staff are aggressive bullies. A friend got dragged out for throwing drinks (something that simply didn't happen) and when my other friend questioned it with the...

Great time from first entering, predominantly from the entertaining and very accommodating door team. The drinks here are good-value when on offer (i.e 2 for £x) and are served by a team of clearly dedicated professionals who have a pride in their bar. Always a...

Kai is the best person here. Made our night amazing. Best service ever. The bartender's made it amazing

Great little place, nice atmosphere, strong and quality cocktails. Have visited multiple times. Probably not great for large groups though unless pre booked.

We came in and I checked upstairs and outside for a second to see the availability and the manager said “do you speak English” when I said was checking the availability outside. Quite rude. No need. Probably not worth a visit to be honest. Could...

We came for drinks, bought them and went upstairs. It was a Friday night the music was loud my friend didn’t hear the server ask if we wanted a table so asked her “do you speak English?? Or are you just ignoring me?” We said...

Adam and the rest of the team were so lovely!! So accommodating and so nice!! Would recommend 10/10- hopefully the managers here give their staff some credit for the hard work and customer service they provide!!!! I’

Leah was the best server, she catered to all our needs and made sure we were all okay before we left, big thanks to her🤍🤍

I had heard many, many great things about this place and it came highly recommended. I was with my mum and a few others, we approached the door to enter and the bouncer stopped us and of course we thought me and my friends were...

They are taking advantage of being the only shisha place in York. After an hour with a perfectly smoking shisha, they took it away from us saying our time was up and we had to give them another 20 quid to continue smoking. Imagine if...

Popped in here for one drink on a Friday night, we were queuing and waited our turn to be looked up and down by the bouncer. The group infront of us were turned away as they were wearing trainers, we entered and 80% of the...

Great cocktails, especially the two for £10 deal. Small and atmospheric and popular. Popular with groups of girls who feel they need to sing along to the music at the tops of their voices unfortunately, like screeching cats. But otherwise, great bar.

Went here last night and the downstairs barman (Fairly big lad with glasses) was only serving women, couldn't get served even though he looked at me about 4 times and as soon as girl walked up to the bar he would serve them straight away....

Came in tonight and it's genuinely been a life changing experience, partly because of other guess, but a big shout out to all the amazing staff working tonight! Expecially Bella, the bar and waiting staff member who's made this night smooth with the drinks and...

My partner and I were visiting York and were recommended a cocktail at this place. However, when we arrived, we were looked up and down by the 'security' guard (both wearing casual t-shirts, smart trousers and nice trainers). He refused us service based off on...

Thought we'd stop off for a quick drink and a rest, sat outside, my husband went to the bar , wouldn't serve him due to wearing a plain grey tracksuit jacket.... glad really , at least 4 overflowing stinking bins outside , it stank as...

Izzy has been brilliant! Went for a chill pint after work and Izzy made our night. Always on top of drinks, keeping our whole group happy, thank you for making a standard Tuesday night feel special

Ben Bailey was so helpful and helped us pick our drinks. Artur was brill too, best place in york, 100% recommend

By far the worst bar I have ever been in, rude staff, better atmosphere in a library but if you need the toilet I suppose they have that, the one star goes to the bathroom thanks to the plumber that fitted it.

One of our go to places in york as every time it’s amazing the staff are always great and this particular time our waitress was Amber, she deserves a promotion and a pay rise to go along with it, more than attentive and consistently friendly....

We had an absolutely amazing waitress I did not quite catch her name she was amazing and so lovely towards everyone. One bartender was not very nice and escorted us from the ladies room out of the restaurant after saying we were no longer aloud...

Dylan Was absolutely amazing, as people who aren’t from York he really looked after us. Making sure as well our shisha was always topped up to the company standards. Cannot fault him at all. Dylan deserves all the pay rises.

Literally wouldn’t touch this place with a barge pole. Security staff beyond rude and discriminate as they see fit. Mojito was very bad and the daiquiri was simply average. Avoid at all costs!

Tried to get a table as a walk in and they said a table was available, scanned the NHS track and trace app before he asked. When he asked us to check in he was rude about it, when asked to wait a minute until...

Ellie was the loveliest waitress ever, the drinks were perfect and the owner Paul made sure to spend time with us and made our trip even better! We want to be regulars and couldn’t ask for more <3 I want to work here xxx

We were served by Dan, Izzy and Leah they went above and beyond to make sure that our experience was exceptional. They made sure that we had plenty of drinks and they arrived very quickly. This is the reason why I always come back.

Went here on a weekend away, firstly came in the late afternoon to have a few pre dinner drinks. We got in easily despite a queue, due to just the two of us. We then returned in the evening for post dinner drinks. Queue was...

Do not go here, arrived, hostile reception for me and my and my 2 NHS doctor colleagues who have worked throughout the pandemic. We arrived and spent £30 between us in 1 hour, we were then denied access to the terrace where people were actively...

Me and my 5 friends / siblings visited and were enjoying a nice time spending money on cocktails when the owner came over without warning and rudely asked us all to leave just because we sang "Happy Birthday" to my young sisters who had just...

I was there yesterday with my husband,We witnessed a group of young respectable looking ladies sat enjoying a few drinks,and obviously celebrating a birthday as they sang a birthday greeting to 2 of the girls who looked like twins in their party.The bouncer was extremely...

Absolutely amazing evening, Daniel and Amber were a complete vibe, made our evening and recommended places nearby. I would give them a pay rise if I were you!!

Rude bouncer and staff. We was told we was only allowed an hour to drink as they were walk ins. I’m sat buying drinks aren’t I so what’s the issue...???? The cocktails are pure sugar and taste like rola cola. The concept of the bar...

We have been to bobo 2 times. We have been served by Bella both times. She is the best waitress! So lovely and welcoming and caring! I hope everyone gets served by Bella as she is amazing!!!!

I booked this for my partner and I for some after dinner drinks, thinking it would be a really cool spot with the shisha as an added bonus. When I booked they told me that we couldn't book a table for shisha due to high...

Was there on Wednesday with my wife for some cocktails. Amazing place , Covid save as they very strict with rules.I would highly recommend. Fabulous spot! Really nice weitres Bella and doorman helped us to sort out place in Kennedy's as we are not local and we haven't book nowhere.

Called in for a cocktails on a recent trip to York. We had margueriteas and very nice they were too. Very quiet when we visited but staff were friendly and welcoming.

Staff were lovely, bouncer was horrible just didn’t want to be there but took it out on everyone else. Really rude

James was so kind accommodating a table for the 6 people in my social group and Ellie was an amazing waitress. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Would definitely come again.

Lovely staff checked in when we came in, COVID measures in place, hand sanitiser. We got a table upstairs but I asked to move which wasn’t a problem. Cocktails nice 241 on passion fruit daiquiri. A bar where staff and management are trying during this bizarre time. Well done.

The staff are so rude hair was in my food the staff were homophobic referred to me as a girl they were clever and it seemed like they all had a problem with me and my friend they made us fell very uncomfortable I will not be returning the service was horrendous would not recommend.

Vine aquí para tomar un cóctel con la familia. Excelentes cócteles, y aunque no son baratos, tenían algunas buenas ofertas en las que pudimos obtener ciertos cócteles como dos por 10. ¡Eran buenos cócteles y no escatimaron en alcohol! El servicio fue bastante bueno, y el portero fue realmente útil para asegurarse de que nos encontrara una mesa, ya que actualmente no hay posibilidad de reservar una mesa, lo que realmente funcionó a nuestro favor. Lo único negativo fue que debido a que la puerta se mantuvo abierta, el lugar estaba muy frío, por lo que vale la pena llevar capas adicionales en un día frío.

Después de estar fuera durante la mayor parte de la noche, no pudimos entrar a muchos lugares ya que no teníamos reserva para ningún otro lugar.Bobo fue sugerido por Jake, el portero en Manhattan al lado, llegamos y nos detuvimos en la cola por no más de 10 minutos, nos sentamos y nuestro pedido de bebidas fue tomado de inmediato. Los cócteles fueron increíbles y con suerte volveremos otro día para comer.

Visited here for a night out was just going to pop in for a quick drink 4 hours later staggering back home was a great night great atmosphere lovely drinks thanks for a good night

Mi esposo y yo llevamos a mi madre un domingo a dar un vistazo al festival gastronómico de York y caminamos por una calle adoquinada para encontrar a Bobo's. Anthony nos sirvió. Era amable, profesional y sabía mucho sobre cócteles. Mamá y yo pedimos cócteles y mi marido pidió una pinta de Peroni. Cócteles perfectos, servicio encantador y excelente ambiente. ¡Volveremos para ver al encantador Anthony! ! !

10/10 service from Lewis! He made our night and made us laugh along side our drinks. Thank you Lewis!!

Excelentes bebidas, personal amable y atento. Buen portero.Mi pareja y yo vinimos por un par de mojitos después de que nos los recomendaran. Los mojitos de manzana con especias tienen un precio razonable y son divinos. Uno de los mejores mojitos que he probado.La lista de reproducción necesita mejora, ¿ABBA un minuto, Justin Timberlake al siguiente? ¡Cuestionable!En general, un bar fantástico con un buen personal. El portero estaba ansioso por asegurarse de mantenerse al día con el desafío 25 y rastrear y rastrear.

Vine aquí para tomar algunas bebidas y shisha, nos recibió un tipo muy amable y nos dijo que subiéramos las escaleras y alguien nos sentaría.Nos sentamos en la esquina de la terraza exterior y nos dijeron que alguien vendría a tomar nuestro pedido en unos minutos. Después de esperar 20 minutos, un joven de rostro muy amargado que obviamente no quería trabajar vino a tomar nuestros pedidos. Esperamos otros 15 minutos para las bebidas y otros 5 para la shisha, lo que teniendo en cuenta que en este punto el lugar no estaba lleno fue un poco ridículo.Así que terminamos nuestra primera ronda de bebidas e intentamos llamar la atención de los camareros y llamarlo, pero él no se dio cuenta o simplemente nos ignoró. Entonces, un hombre con camisa negra salió a limpiar algunas mesas, solo puedo asumir que era un pesebre, le pregunté si podíamos pedir más bebidas, dijo que enviaría a alguien. Pasan 10 minutos y todavía no hay señales de que alguien venga, me las arreglo para llamar la atención de los jóvenes camareros nuevamente y les pido que pidan más bebidas, él dijo que sí, volverá con un bloc de notas en aminte, otros 10/15 minutos pasan todavía no hay señales de nadie, el camarero no ha regresado. Para cuando el camarero se molestó en venir a vernos, ya estábamos hartos de que nos ignoraran y dijimos que no queríamos más bebidas. Cuando nos íbamos, el camarero estaba holgazaneando en la barra interior sin prestar atención a los clientes ni hacer su trabajo.Durante todo nuestro tiempo aquí, había un hombre bastante rudo en la mesa de al lado que seguía moviendo la barrera de plexiglás entre su mesa y otra y tratando de estrechar la mano de esta otra mesa e invitándose a sí mismo a otras mesas. Cuando el camarero notó que la barrera de plexiglás se había movido, no hizo nada al respecto, sino que la movió un poco hacia atrás y les dijo que no debían moverla. Continuaron moviéndolo y cuando volvió a salir las siguientes veces, el camarero no hizo nada al respecto. No me sorprendería que este lugar se convierta en un lugar de moda. El tipo rudo era obviamente un amigo del portero por la forma en que se estaban juntando cuando el portero subió las escaleras.

Fab service and lovely drinks - thank you Jose! Will be back!! Such a cute place and lovely outside area!

Mi novia y yo vinimos aquí la primera noche de una estadía de fin de semana en York después de ser atraídos por la oferta de mojito y luego sorprendernos de que se ofreciera shisha. El chico del bar de la planta baja parecía agradable y amistoso y nos dirigió al piso superior si queríamos shisha, así que nos fuimos.Una vez allí y escondidos en una esquina en un patio muy pequeño con solo servicio de mesa ofrecido por otro miembro del personal y la falta de capacidad reducida, esperamos unos buenos 15 a 20 minutos para hacer un pedido. Cuando llegaron las bebidas, eran lo suficientemente agradables y 2 mojitos para 10 no están mal. Les daré eso, pero me tomó mucho tiempo conseguir la shisha y el camarero era tan malo para tomar pedidos. En ningún momento vino a preguntarnos si queríamos otra bebida, lo que normalmente haría un camarero cuando un vaso está medio vacío.Lo cogimos varias veces pidiendo más tragos a lo que dijo que sí, un segundo. Nunca llegó. Se le preguntó quién parecía ser el gerente que dijo que tendría a alguien con nosotros. Ellos nunca vinieron.Durante todo esto, había un tipo duro en la mesa junto a nosotros moviendo los separadores de la mesa e invitándose a las mesas de otras personas, presumiendo de que había estado en prisión varias veces y también estaba tratando de azotar lo que parecía ser un bien robado. Entonces puede el portero que parecía tener pocas palabras con el chico. Resulta que eran amigos.Al final nos fuimos porque parece que es un lugar peligroso para perros y el camarero de arriba debe estar relacionado con el dueño porque ciertamente no es capaz.

I came to Bobos last night with a friend and had a fantastic night! Everything runs smoothly there, social distancing is on point and Artur(doorman) is not only professional but a great fun too! All staff are lovely and the atmosphere is amazing! I can only recommend this place and I'll definitely be back:)

Great deals, awesome staff, door man Artur was the funniest and most helpful guy I met in York! Loved everything about the bar!

Can we just talk about Lewis for a second? Honestly best waiter I've ever had. 11/10 would recommend

Came here for a few drinks after work, Tosh on the door was amazing. Got inside and George the owner made us feel more than welcome. All in all Lewis made our night!! Served us drinks while making us laugh and clearing our glasses as soon as they were empty. Couldn’t believe it was his first shift he was a natural... would definitely recommend

A great time, lovely server Lewis was so helpful. Would definitely come again, such good deals too!!

Fun place to go. Good inventive cocktails and good COVID-19 measures. Staff are cheerful even while busy. Shout out to the doorstaff who kept cool and professional with some appalling customers. (22/08) 👌

Had a few cocktails here when we stayed in York for a few nights The cocktails we had we OK and service was good. They do lots of offers well worth a visit.

Staff were extremely rude especially the bouncer. There was no social distancing in place and they took no track and trace information. One of the worst bars in York, avoid at all costs.

I had an awful experience here. They kicked us out for no reason. The staff was very rude and I will never come back here, the doors staff and bar staff were very rude to us.

Heavy handed and rude staff in the bar. Not adhering to their own strick social distancing rules. Unprofessional. An unpleasant atmosphere. Was a regular customer. Will not return.

Shame because this is usually one of my fave places to visit in York for drinks. Male member of staff was extremely rude to us all night, made us feel uncomfortable. Honestly don’t want to go back after this experience. Which is sad because I usually love it :(

You don’t get better than Bobos in York! Can’t live without it, banging deals, top notch bartenders, great service and the friendliest staff. Always feel welcome, couldn’t recommend more. The bouncers have always kept me safe (Artur you’re the man). 10/10 ❤️
