Brew York in York

Nice place good beer one criticism can't pay by cash won't be using it again becuase of that

Really good selection of beers and the pairing with Yuzu street food is great - bar sometimes let down by a lack of bar staff meaning long queues.

Absolutely loved it here. A great place. Large, with lots of different rooms/spaces with varying vibes. Quick service. Loved the beer and there was a good selection, all locally brewed. Would highly recommend.

Excellent range of beers on tap and to takeaway. Westcoast IPA absolutely gorgeous.

This place is amazing. The beers are so good, the people are nice and we had the best time doing the new tour offered by Brew York. I cannot recommend this place more if you’re in York!

Superb as always. Great range of beers!

Time travelling taxi is the best beer I have ever had, and I have had literally thousands. It is pure beauty. Perfection. Excellence. When I die, place my body on a raft and sail me out over a paddling pool filled with TTT. Then set fire to me. And serve the beer at the wake. People honestly won't mind it is simply that good.

One of the nicest bitters I have had for a while. Loads of seating downstairs with viewing into the fermenting vessel area or out by the river side.

Very tasty food, and a good selection of drinks

Great beers, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Loved the sour's & IPA's, and the burgers sold by the third party kitchen were amazingly juicy and delicious.

Great beer and atmosphere and really good food too! Would totally recommend

Our fave, love it here, great atmosphere, choice of beers and fab food. What’s not to love! Also, shout out to the bar manager who literally never stops and knows his stuff 👍

Great selection of craft beers. Quiet on bank holiday monday.

Well worth a visit. Has a range of spaces: noisy beer hall, chill brewhouse-feel downstairs (large vats are literally in arms reach), lounge area, outdoor spaces (some covered). Loads of beers and options to do a flight of tasters. Good Asian street food options. Kids and dogs are allowed in too. Should be on every beer lovers plan for visiting York.

Good selection of beers, friendly staff, nice outdoor area.

Ģreat place staff are very helpful food really nice

Good location. Great venue. Loads of different rooms with a different vibe. Endless selection of all drinks not just ales. So big I think you'll always find somewhere to sit. And the food on offer is incredible. And one of the best, (albeit small) beer gardens hidden out the back by the river.

Bliddy loved the place. We stumbled across it and was blown away by the huge beer hall. The stouts were amazing. Came home with two bagfuls of cans from the shop. Staff lovely and helpful. Will be back.

If you like beers and ales, you will love it here! There is a huge amount to choose from, plus wines and cocktails for those who like other drinks. This review is based on one pint and one meal, but I do plan to return. My IPA was delicious and I got 15% off with the blue light card. My Hoisin Duck Bonburi was also very tasty, fresh and full of tender duck. There was 10% off that too. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and smiling - which I think is always a good sign. I only didn't stay longer because I was on my bike and my IPA went down far too well! I will return. There is also a shop selliing merchandise and beers!

Fantastic! Probably the largest range of beers I've seen at a taproom. Such a great selection of different styles too

Was expecting a run of the mill tour but the guide was great fun and there are some expectionally good beverages to be had! Highly recommended

Fantastic Shed 7 Homecoming IPA and asian street food that you can order by just scanning a QR code that was great. Really busy when we called but staff were great and helpful would recommend if in York call in and give them a try well worth the visit.

Good beer selections. Theres a good japanese food stall as well. Good place for a pint and a bite with friends

Great choice of beers and the Yuzu Street Food is delicious. Not to be missed.

Really delicious food and incredibly kind staff. Went with my young dog who was very excited to be there and let out a few barks, another customer asked them to make us leave and was incredibly rude to us and the staff, he made me feel really uncomfortable for being there. The staff apologised for him being so rude, brought my dog some chicken and gave us a dessert on the house, I was so overwhelmed by their kindness , my dog never let out another bark, turns out she had better manners than him , thank you Brew York 🐾

Not your average pub ... Well worth a visit 👍🍺

Great beer and setting! Highly recommended! All styles.

Absolute belter of a place! A great range of delicious beers, served very efficiently (even with a busy bar!) by friendly and polite staff. The food is incredible too, also served very promptly. Superb spot on the river. Absolute gem.

Beer, location and setup is all fab. Would have been 5 star if not for the rude young man serving who seemed to have some sort of chip on his shoulder. Suggestion, don't get a job in hospitality! Thankfully, the young lady took over the order. Total polar opposite! Good job! P.S. the stout is lush!

One of my go-to places in York. Brew York has a huge selection of drinks that you can buy in 1/3 pints to try as many as possible. The beer hall has a great atmosphere & there is also a beer garden outside. You can order yuzu street food there too which is delicious. I’d definitely recommend this place for food & drinks.

Absolutely loved the venue. The bar staff were incredible, lovely and had a great taste in music! Considering we were in a Beer Hall, the cocktails and wine choices were also amazing! Similarly, our tour guide James was very informative, engaging and knowledgeable about the craft beer industry. Being non-beer drinkers, the tour was very enlightening and gave a nice array of tasters (which were presented amazingly by Jack who changed the taster to better suit my taste). Can highly recommend the Beer Hall for a good drink and some nice street food from Yuzu!

What a gem can't recommend it without smiling fantastic top job 👏

Beer is great but I find it annoying when people their young children in and allow them to scream and tap dance their way around the bar. It can feel like a creche at times.

Fantastic beer selection, great food, and a really good atmosphere

Amazing selection, fun entertaining staff would highly recommend 🤌🙌

Great beer, amazing food, and a great atmosphere. Always enjoy a pint here

We go back here time and time again. Fantastic food on site (Yuzu's is amazing) as well as a great selection of craft beers. Pet friendly, seating inside and out, and overall just a great atmosphere

Great and spacious brewery with an excellent terrace. Good gluten free beers also.

Amazing bar service from Niamh and Louise!! Such lovely girls, so helpful by recommending drinks as the menu has such variety, they just helped make the experience great! Amazing music and atmosphere, can’t recommend enough!

Hauling ourselves across the city from the gate at Lawrence St up Walmgate on the hottest day of the year so far I feared we wouldn't make it to our target destination (rather mundanely Holland and Barrett) without dying of thirst on the way. I'd already forsaken the Rook and G in passing and my other half was clearly much more hydrated than myself so I needed to devise a way to distract her attention so I could craftily install myself into an available hostelry to shelter from the beating rays. Ah! I said, I need a new inner tube, and swung a right into Recycle York. After a few steps we happened upon what appeared to be a small retail unit selling ales. What's this place then? I asked, ignoring now the bike shop.... and so my (our) boozy odyssey at Brew York began. It reminded me of the 3 engineers tap (Winterbourne in Bristol) but on steroids and in town. Charming staff, amazing confections, very convivial atmosphere, sun on your face.... what more do you want? Knocks the big boys into next year. Wayne and Lee have a great place here - try it and see.

Great place for a big gathering. Outside/inside sitting. Good variety of beers. And some cool Star wars themed cans of beer with very unique flavors. My favorite one was the Mangolorian.

Very enjoyable tour with four beers covering a range of styles

Wow, what a selection of beers. You could get into a whole heap if trouble working your way through the taps. Not the comfiest of seats but the beer does make up for it.

Fab beers... we order online for home delivery but as we were in York decided we had to visit the bar and it didn't disappointment! Great beers and atmosphere. We had already eaten which was a mistake as the food looked amazing!

Just like the other negative reviews, I've been a regular of Brew York since day one. We visited last Friday for some food and a few drinks, 8 of us, it was only 8pm and 3 of the group were not even drinking. We didn't even get near the entrance before we were turned away by the security, all in 30's and 40's. Simply ridiculous and such a shame for Yuzu. I will follow up with an email. *** Update: No reply to my email, which would suggest they are not as bothered as the reply suggests ***

Very good food - Asien Fusion 😎 Nice craft beers. Friendly staff.

The reputation of this place was great, so decided to patronise. We were a large group, enjoying a few beers locally. Unfortunately, the dinosaur on door patrol decided we were troublemakers before we had even entered the premises. We'd had exactly 2 beers each at this stage, and were not looking to do more than peruse the fridges and perhaps enjoy a beer before heading out for dinner. Unfortunately, we were not permitted entry. I'd avoid for this reason. The management should not be discouraging business.

Great place, always great food and amazing atmosphere!

If you are beer and ramen lover, this is a must go place. Start from 12 pm to 9 pm for food - ramen, gokzi, chips, ... And 40- choices of beer!!

Amazing brewery, taproom and shop serving their own and guests beers. If you love craft beer you’ll love it here! Dog friendly. Huge taproom and beer garden with a small beer garden out back facing the river.

We booked a table. Then, months later, got an email saying our booking was cancelled because they don’t take bookings anymore. Then, got turned away at the door because we didn’t have a booking.

Loved this place. A wonderful place with a good atmosphere. Large hall and brew room with a great choice of beers and ales, with good selection of glass sizes and taster options. Yuzu eatery can also be found within the hall which complements the brewery perfectly. Nice selection of tasty food with good service. I will definitely be visiting again on my next visit!

Sadly matey boy on the door wouldn't let a group of us in. Mid thirties group looking for a quiet drink (something our friend was really wanting) who really wanted to come here, but because tomorrow was a stag, not allowed to come here. Honestly. Absolutely nuts.

Love this place !! Nice beers and the low alc options are good too 🍻

Couldn't get in because I turned up with a group of other men, so the bouncer was "suspicious" we were on a stag do. Somewhat baffling to kick out a bunch of mid-30yos talking about their kids, but I suppose I don't understand the danger we posed

We visited this fab place twice in a couple of days, both were a great experience although having just read some other reviews, didn't realise there was a downstairs tap room as well as the upstairs beer hall! A good excuse to go back! Excellent selection of their own beers and a guest beer menu. Our first visit there were only 2 cask beers in the beer hall, but 6 cask on the next day. Seems some other reviews suggest there might be more cask in the downstairs tap room. Food was Korean style Asian and yummy, they also had an offer this week for free kids portion with an adult one but this wasn't advertised anywhere. Fab place and experience, we've visited quite a few tap rooms and personally this was up there with the best. We'd return for sure 🍻 🍺 🍻

Love this place .. had yummy fries and great beer! Service was amazing, the beer was cracking- Coney. Ventured onto the dark lager … ooooo delish! Great to be on beer garden again!

Cool and quirky venue with a buzzing atmosphere, wide beer selection and great accompanying street food. Your around the small brewery was also great, with a very friendly and informative guide.

Incredible selection of different beers.

Great selection of beers here (I would have loved a couple more guest ciders, but the 1 they had was nice) and a really cool venue. Unfortunately a couple of the taps weren't working so some of the lines we wanted to try were off. The atmosphere was a bit dead, but I appreciate we went on a Thursday so it wasn't going to be super rowdy! A good place to spend an hour or two with friends.

Great product, some fine ales at reasonable prices. The place was packed, lots of kids running around, very noisy. Not the usual ambience of a tap room.

Would have been 5 stars but the doorman is one of those people who acts like he started the business

A 5star establishment! Open cavernous area with a huge choice of their craft beer - plus a shop at the front too! Definitely a recommend!

Very rude staff in here couldn't believe I was insulted at the bar before I even gave my order! Haven't been back, it wasn't for me anyway I didn't enjoy their beers at all.

Excellent beer hall serving their own beer as well as guest brews. Also serves a range of Asian food. The beer hall is on the first floor

Fantastic brewery tap room and beer hall. So many excellent beers available as home and guest brewed. Food is amazing too.

Wonderful venue offering a great range of interesting beers. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff. Nice and unusual to have a spacious venue in the centre of York for bigger groups. Can’t wait for our next visit

Been several times to this bar! Great atmosphere, great selection of beers (big words from not a beer lover) but also cocktails and other drinks etc. The staff are great fun and friendly, and the beer tour is fab - James conducted the one I was on. Funny chap and knowledgeable about his beer.

A great drinking venue and the food was great too. This is a very popular independent brewery with its own bar.

No ones going to have any sympathy for hospitality businesses when they're treated like they are here. 8.45pm and we're loudly told its last orders before 9pm rolls around and it's bellowed that we've 10 mins to vacate the premises. The place has 40 plus people in here, assume brew York are doing well and don't need people about. Nice last ten minutes whilst the two staff stack chairs like they're trying to break the world sound record. Won't be back and makes you wonder how plenty of better tap rooms have already gone bust.

Great beer, great staff, great location. The only problem is the early closing times.

Absolutely superb, excellent selection of beer, in great condition. Food also excellent and quickly served from order. It is an absolute gem. Well done.

Jorvic spotted this venue, one we have never visited before although we have had their beers elsewhere. Disappointed that there are only two real ales amongst a huge array of fizzy beers. Went for a half of Gyle at 4.9%. A hazy Pale Ale. T'other beer being 5%.. OK but no cash accepted. Similar for interesting Korean food selection. Beer Hall popular with families. ( Some sugar rich sweets on the menu.) Paulicarus likes the loud music, me not so much.

Fabulous selection of beers, the beer float of 4 x 1/3 pint of beers is a great way to try them! Excellent food from Yuzu as always, quick service - recommend the Bao buns & Duck Gyoza - delicious! 😋

Unquestionably the best location in York for trying craft beer. Fantastic and informative tour. Beer garden with all round good vibes. Went with a mixed group as part of a visit to York on the recommendation of a friend and wasn't disappointed. Everyone had a good time. Greeted by cheery and welcoming staff who look the part, and seem to know everything about brewing. Beer selection was solid, even for fussy drinkers. Would recommend to others and will go again next time I'm in York.

Went to visit with a friend after getting a recommendation. Loved the atmosphere and friendly staff. Not much of a fan of beer usually but was wonderfully assisted by one of the staff James who pointed me towards a sour beer that I actually really enjoyed and gave me some recommendations for others. Definitely going to make a return visit.

Didn’t get within 20 metres of the place. The bouncer shouted that we weren’t welcome and to turn around (there was 6 of us). Didn’t give us any option to understand what his issue was and the bar lost out on £150+ of business. Wouldn’t bother trying ever again. Shambles of a bar, would give it no stars if possible

Visited on 3 Feb with my BF and a friend for beer and food. Cool place, was lucky enough to get a booth seat which had become free. Beer was great and reasonably priced. The food was insanely good (I had the chicken and veg gyoza and chicken fried rice) Will be back on next trip to York

Terrible visit this time. Normally good and enjoyable. We sat down on a table with movable benches as we had our 2 year old with us. After ordering on the app for the food and using our table number. Some absolute idiot that was the organiser of the speed quiz came over to the table and placed a reserved card on it for half past six this was at 20 past six after ordering our food at quarter past. There was no spare tables to move onto upstairs. I asked the quiz master in question why he would reserve the table we are sat on without coming and speaking to us and his reply was it's always the quiz on a Sunday and then walked over to other members of staff and gave us funny looks and pointing. One of the brew York staff came over and told us we needed to move for half past and there is tables down stairs. Don't go down stairs as it's freezing down there even with the patio heaters on. Although the food is not the same company. This was poor and had to be returned all frozen food and the first attempt had to be returned as it was cold. The beer was good but for the price you would expect it to be. Think the venue needs to look how they interact with the customer and advice the quiz company that it's not their reputation on the line after bad interactions. Such a shame that I won't return as I really enjoy the beer. REPLY thanks for the reply I appricate your time. We were offered seating after being asked to move the second time by the quiz master not in a tasting room but down stairs and although they are heated by the means you are saying they are still cold maybe after some time being on they get hot but I've been down there many times before and i don't feel it would have been suitible but understand that's down to opinion thankyou. I spoke to the food team on the day they apologised straight away removed the food and remade the order straight away. Dealing with the review and Rectifying the issue directly by replacing the full order. I'm my opinion good quality customer service to make the customer happy and feel happy to spend their hard earned money with them. Thanks for your response I don't review to upset owners I review to help them and help people understand the quality of the establishment and owners respocnes to problems they they know what to expect. Best wishes for the future.

Great beer,great food,great place to be

Great tasting food and beer. Very busy too

Brew York is a showpiece craft brewery and beer hall, it has 40+ beer taps (slightly excessive) and street food. It sounds like a dream come true for any beer lover, and indeed, the place has a great room and cool vibe. The beers are varied, quality, and tasty, as one would expect from a brewery. Too many beers but in fairness its a decent place However, not everything is rosy at Brew York. On a recent visit, I encountered very poor service, a rude manager who seemed to have a problem with me and my work colleagues enjoying our drinks at the bar. He slammed his hand on the counter and shouted at us to move away, claiming that we were blocking service. This was absurd, as there was plenty of space to get served and it was a quiet Tuesday evening. I tried to reason with him, but he was rude and he "cut us off". I wondered if he had mistaken us for some rowdy hooligans, or perhaps he was just having a bad day. Either way, it was a very unpleasant experience that spoiled an otherwise enjoyable visit. I wasn't that bothered as we had to vacate to go for a delightful meal at a local tapas place. don't want to state the obvious but we went for a meal and further drinks in two other establishments and we didn't get kicked out of any of them. As I was leaving, I spoke to a member of staff downstairs and she apologised for the manager's behaviour. She was in agreement with my comparison to an appendage. I hope that Brew York will address this issue and ensure that their customers are treated with respect and courtesy, regardless of where they choose to sit or stand. Otherwise, they risk losing their reputation as a great place to drink and dine in York.

Fantastic experience! You must try the large beer selection that they have. I'm not even a beer person but this was worth it.

Always a great place. Excellent choice of beer, something for everyone! Friendly staff. Didn't eat this time, but whenever we have previously the food is exceptional!

cool vibe to this place with a massive choice of beers!

Great, buzzy venue. Loads of beer choices. Industrial decor as befits the building. Tasty food (beware the Jumbo Wings are.. Jumbo). A bit cold on our visit, as most places are these days.

Awesome brews, great venue and a must for any beer enthusiasts in York

Absolute gem of a place to drink and eat. Pretty good value and the beers and food were great too. It's dog friendly too which makes it all the better. Also the staff were super friendly as well, offering our dog treats when we arrived. We were recommended this place by the guy in Little Blondie bakehouse just up the road. All the pubs were packed and we had a golden retriever with us so had trouble finding anywhere to go with him.

Highly recommend their milk stout and the food was incredible. Very dog friendly

Great Tour from James! Very informative with a hint of humour, so thank you! Great choice of the samples. Fully recommend if you are visiting York and like Craft beer 🍺

Delicious beer both off sales and in the tap room and tasty Japanese street food. Very tempted to subscribe to the delivery service. Great bar staff too.

Really great choice of beers and the food from YUZU is delicious as well! The atmosphere is best upstairs in the Beer Hall, or in the spacious outside area when it's warm. The staff are always very friendly and polite

A very unique drinking experience in York. With an upmarket crowd and friendly staff. A great selection of interesting house made beers with unique branding and styling. Definitely recommend checking out the dining hall upstairs for some delicious food and the shop for brew york beers and merch at reasonable prices.

Looking for somewhere to have a beer, away from the crowded streets of York; we stumbled upon the place by accident but were pleasantly surprised by the plain, yet cosy and welcoming vibe. It’s quite big and can fit many people. Great choice of beers brewed in-house.

Excellent time at this bar! Tom was very experienced and helpful when asking for recommendations. Thank you

The bar only delivered keg beers - very little craft. Beer was ok.Be wary of the food concession! If you.like salt, this is the place for you! Not the place for a quiet pint or a cosy chat.

Such an extensive beer choice at this Verified Venue it’s advisable to do your homework on the Untappd Beer App beforehand. First time I’ve eaten from Yuzo Street Food - the scran is marvellous and compliments the beers.

We went on a Friday night so was fairly buzzing. We found a spot in the corner and ordered food using the qr code. Between the 2 of us we ordered a katsu curry, 4 jumbo wings and a serve of fries to share. It was busy so food took about 45 mins, and when the food came the fries were cold. Really the should have served the fried when they first came up (would have made the 45 mins go faster too) or not put the fries in the fryer until the wings were going in.

New Tonkoko biscotti absolutely delicious and a biscuit and bowl of water offered and served to the table for Blaze 👍

Great place to have a drink. In house Yuzu restaurant is good as well.
