Keystones in York

Pizza was nice and you wanted a salad but it wasn't on the menu but Sandra made you one Ellis and oliver great service on the bar

Came to their pub quiz and it was amazing, great energy, atmosphere and prizes! Had some food while we were there, the pizzas are top end! I'm going to be back to try out even more and hopefully win some prizes for the next quiz, definitely recommend for anyone looking for a midweek activity

Fab place, booked for after work drinks and it was welcoming and great service. Regularly attend and it’s always amazing service by all staff whether it’s food, bar or collecting glasses.

I visited with a friend on Sunday for drinks, I've been a few times before. Very friendly attentive staff. Oli was very helpful. Great atmosphere. Lovely garden to sit in with dogs as they are very welcome by the staff.

Great location, amazing staff, fabulous bottomless brunch and a beer garden with a beautiful backdrop! Definitely worth a visit if you are in York.

Wonderful dog friendly pub in York with great food and drinks and a huge beer garden. Staff were so friendly. 10/10, will return!

Been here a couple of times, stayed all night. Such a chilled place and lovely staff. Met a friend for food and drinks a couple of days later and was even better. The fish and chips and burgers were our favourite. Thanks again for making us 60 year old women feel so comfortable and welcome. Well done Keystones for a lovely team.

A return visit and it was certainly worth it. Really good food and atmosphere. Very busy as per previous visit but really well looked after by the staff. Nothing too much trouble and lovely to see Oliver was still working there from last time. As then he made us very welcome. We will be back

always the biggest fan of keystones🙂‍↕️ the staff are lovely, its affordable, and the location is stunning. definitely a frequent for me and my friends, and student drinks deals are phenomenalll for the budget girlies. food is well priced too, and there are plenty of veggie options, which i love. the quiz also always has the best vibes!! (shoutout to my fav quiz master eleisha). 10/10 recommend.

Came in to watch the Leeds game, decent pint and burger was good. I’ll back in at the weekend! Thanks

Came here for a birthday bottomless brunch and it was fantastic! Food was good and drinks were flowing. Alisha served us the whole time we were there and was excellent! Very attentive and helpful throughout so thank you Alisha!

best quiz in york every Thursday. cheap drinks, unreal staff.THE BEST PUB IN YORK

Alisha and Meg were lovely!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Lovley place, sadly football takes president as the rugby was turned off despite the large crowd I'm watching it. Clientèle soon left as a result and the incoming football crowd were less pleasant to be around so we left.

Sub par food (Old oil/hard food) Could’ve been a great place Good guinness

I would rate one star if I could. The lotsa pepperoni pizza had 5 pepperonis on it, was soggy and uncooked in the middle and burnt on the crust. Tastes like ketchup sauce. Corn on the cob served burnt, yet somehow literally frozen. Salad had rotten peppers. Burger came with no BBQ although menu claims it does, and the patties are clearly cheap frozen ones and they were cold in the middle. This is all on top of having to download an app, give all your personal info, and create an account with your credit card. HATE THAT. Overall, it was a pretty atrocious experience.

Pretty awful. Staff were unfriendly, beer was poor. No wonder it was nearly empty

Its a genuinely good beer garden - despite the pub being on a main road, the garden is at the back and peaceful and is right under the city walls. So if you want to come for the beer garden on a nice day - fine. I'd otherwise treat the reviews on here with caution. A lot of them seem to have had the bottomless brunch or didn't eat at all. I can't comment on the bottomless brunch, but my experience of the food is that it is very average. Also, the indoor of the pub isn't particularly attractive if its not a nice day. There's much nicer pubs in York.

I traveled solo for 3 weeks in Great Britain. Thinking it would be fun to eat dinner at an authentic pub while in York, I looked at TripAdvisor and found Keystones listed as a Traveler’s Choice. Maybe I visited on an off night but my meal at Keystones was the worst meal of my entire 3 week trip. At 7pm on a Friday, they had already run out of a LOT of food so the very friendly and helpful bartender recommended the Burrito Bowl with chicken breast. Big mistake. The chicken was dry and overcooked and so was the tortilla. The plain white rice wasn’t warm. At least their Garlic Cheese Bread was good and their staff was great so it wasn’t a total loss. It was crowded with drinkers not eating so that must be the draw of this place. And it did look like a fun place to watch sports but I wouldn’t eat there again.

The keystones is definitely the place to come to in York for a bottomless brunch. My boyfriend and I came for a botty b the price is fantastic as well as the food and drinks. Everything was delicious and the service by Taylor and the rest of the staff was fantastic! Thank you very much for everything and Velma the dog was a lovely guest as well!

It's canny okay for a visit food and TV football, not a local as such!!,

Consistently the best venue in York for watching sport! Me and a large group went for the first England game of the Euros and we’ve been back for every game since! Extremely accommodating staff every time, and great value on drinks…love this place!

First time visit here and the beers we had were great. Pizza and burger were good. Posh fish finger sub was not so good...fish good, not so the toasted brioche roll and the tartar sauce was overwhelming Still gets a high rating The outside area below the city walls and next to the Ice House was good

Great place.. Bottomless brunch is well work the price..Staff here can't help you enough, don't have to go looking for someone to order next drinks..(Megan was particularly attentive during this visit. I have been to this pub a few times now, for brunch or just drinks, and can't find fault with anything..

Always great when I am in York to pop in. The drink and meal offers are excellent and really friendly staff! Well worth a visit!

Really enjoyed it, I'm a regular down Goodramgate and will visit again.

Really fantastic place. Great food, good selection of drinks and very friendly staff. All in all a great place to visit with a nice vibe. Deputy Manager (Can't remember his name) was great and a credit to the place. Will definitely be returning the next time we're in York.

Our first experience of a York pub and it was great. Went to watch the football, Sainsbury's v West Brom. The service and the staff was first class. We did not try the food as we had previously dined, but the menu was extremely tempting and reasonable.

Bottomless brunch was amazing. Great selection of cocktails and good food. Taylor was brilliant and so friendly and efficient!! We will be back :)

Love, love, love! Brilliant staff, efficient service, amazing location, beer garden with a stunning backdrop. Great deals throughout the week, great selection of beer on tap. Big on sports, dogs and generally good vibes! Ace social media One of my absolute favorite spots for a drink in good company whenever I'm in town. Thank you Keys!

Such a lovely pub ! Every single member of staff is lovely !! Come here for great drinks and food ! Cosy atmosphere, great music honestly if I could give 6 stars I would !!

Came to watch the last PL games. Atmosphere were brilliant, even when the place was packed the staff were still smiley and helpful. Would highly recommend, cheapest and happiest place in york! Great place.

A very busy day at the pub, the staff remained calm and professional. The food was so delicious and the pints were cheap for York. A fabulous experience and TV screens everywhere which was great for the PL finals. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday.

Went in for a cider with my mates the manger has very poor customer service and was refusing to serve us for no valid reason. I understand why at the first instance I was not severed as I forgot my id however I went back home brought it to show and he again refused to serve me for apparent bad attitude when all I was asking was a genuine question. Anyone who knows me knows I’m far from having a bad attitude! When coming back with my id and he saw me and my friend he rolled his eyes and shook his head at me it’s not very nice. Hence the feeling of feeling disrespected. Absolutely disgusting. Honestly felt racially profiled I am devastated. In this day and age? Really? Is it really that hard to smile and do your job of serve a drink? Went back in today after this incident purely due to meeting friends and convenience and as I felt over the situation. Was told I couldn’t be served unless I apologised to the manager who was being rude to me previously. I said yes that’s fine I’ll apologise purely to avoid another situation. A different manager came to speak to me and her attitude and demeanour from the beginning was already rude. She said I had to delete my previous review and why come back if I left a one star review. She had an issue with the fact I used race in my review however I’ve read previous reviews and other people have said the same thing. She was shouting at me in the middle of the bar, very unprofessional, and felt very attacking. I still decided to apologise to avoid my friends from having to leave. She then refused to take my apology. So just a heads up don’t leave a one star review and don’t speak about your bad experience unless you want to be shouted at spoken rudely to when you are just trying to get a drink after a hard day. I have never had an issue like this in any other pub or bar and initially felt like I shouldn’t post this experience to prevent them from further targeting me. However I am leaving York very soon and feel like this should be said. i am not trying to be disrespectful purely expressing my feelings as I felt like I couldn’t speak to the manager properly due to her predisposition of the situation.

Cool place, tasty food and good beer.

popped in with some mates and a (very excitable) dog and have no faults. we all ordered food- it came promptly and was amazing. the staff are great- so friendly and professional :) great student pint deals too!!

keystones is my favourite pub fr, student deals saving my low bank balance and uni lifestyle (responsible drinking), bar staff lovely today :)

Completely appalled with the service received. We went out for a drink, the manager was rude to my friends if I’m honest it appeared to be a race thing as he was lovely to everyone else. This man then refused to serve me afterwards giving me a horrible attitude so we had to leave.

Great visit.. cracking atmosphere in the beer garden

Best pub in central York by a country mile

Took a wrong turn and found this place, reminded me a bit of the film of the same name.

Bad service, bad employee asks about race and doesn't serve well really she is racist

Great pub atmosphere for bottles brunch, some places are packed out and over comerialised, we've visited on numerous occasions and it's a great vibe and traditional the staff are always really friendly, the selection is not restricted like other places and the food is good too, I recommend this place too all my Friends, thanks again for amazing service

Bottomless boozy brunch. Worth a visit.

The staff are always incredible. Shoutout to both Ellis’ and tayla amazing customer service everytime and incredible wing Wednesday. 💖

Ellis and Louis slayed. Greet food, service and drinks. Really friendly service and great atmosphere. Went the extra mile with the festive easter decor.

Can’t recommend this enough…from the friendly welcome, great decorations, tasty food and fantastic cocktails 🍹 The little touches- personalised reserved sign, flag, balloons 🎈, haribo and badges made me smile 😊 We were looked after so well by our server Ellis and nothing was too much trouble! WELL DONE TEAM KEYSTONES 🤩

Ellis was very attentive. Good service. Nice food. Great location. Good value! Will come again! Happy days! Thank you!

Best brunch in York. Georgie served us was very pleasant. Food was amazing and the drinks just kept on coming. Well worth the money will definitely be coming back. Sisters third visit my first definitely won't be the last.

Had a Bottomless brunch here and must say definitely one of the top ones I've been to the food was amazing.. and Eleisha was amazing honestly made our day she was amazing with us ❤️ would definitely return to see her thank you for been amazing

Wonderful always to go to the Keystones pub. Food fantastic, great selection. Thank you to Sandra for the warm welcome. Hope to be back soon

Stopped by on Monday afternoon to enjoy 2 for 1 pizzas with a couple of drinks in the beer garden 😍 Pizzas were amazing and the team were lovely!

Best bottomless brunch!! Went here Saturday for bottomless brunch for my birthday with 9 others and have to say it was amazing! Drinks were served fast, food was lovely!! Would highly recommend the pizza and chicken wings to share! Our service was great and the woman in charge of it was awesome! (Forget her name unfortunately) all the staff was lovely and friend and the table was set up was great! Would highly recommend to go! Thank you for making it so good! Will be booking in again!

Oh my goodness!!! Great service, kept filing drinks and wonderful food. Highly recommended excellent value for money xx

Stopped in here for a couple of pints after a gym session. Staff are friendly and service I quick. We went around 6pm on a Wednesday and managed to get a table though it did get a reserved table tent in it for a booking a couple of hours later so we'd have had to move if we wanted to stay. It's popular with the student crowd so if the sound of that puts you off go in the summer or the usual term holiday times (Christmas and Easter).

We did Bottomless Brunch for my partner's birthday on 09/03 and it was just an outstanding experience. The table was decorated (such a lovely touch) the staff were an absolute pleasure and the food was scrummy. The menu choices were fantastic and everyone commented how lovely the staff and service were. We will definitely be back - best B.Brunch we have done. Massive thank you!

The staff were amazing and very friendly and attentive, food was great, and the pub was busy and had a great vibe.

Only popped in for a drink, atmosphere was good and service was excellent. If going by car don't use car park at rear its ridiculous price.

Keystones is our favourite pub… Max is our guy!!!

Called today after long hospital appointment left uplifted and refreshed Top class crew and very open feeling here recognised by a long termpub visitor me! Timothy Taylor 4 pints good as recommended by my other half a South East Londoner! Recommend to try this pub not just carry on walking into town please.

Taylor 10/10 amazing waitress!!! and the man that’s here too. got so drunk at bottomless brunch only £26 sick bruv

Taylor needs a raise ASAP amazing waitress, she gave us sooo many drinks at bottomless brunch, we are truly bottomless

We had an amazing bottomless brunch experience. We were served by Eleisha, Joe and Georgie. Everything was perfect, so friendly and accommodating. Would definitely want to come again

Came for brunch. Amazing and friendly service by Eleisha, Joe and Georgie. Had such a good time, such a good atmosphere!!! Defo would recommend.

Staff were polite and friendly Food was good

We did bottomless brunch and it was amazing, we got fast service and was delicious, shout out to the keystones staff that served us today and the team in general. Everytime we come in it’s fantastic

We went for bottomless brunch and elisha served us. The service was AMAZING and so well organised. Thank you so much absolutely amazing

Ellis W was a fantastic waiter, he went above and beyond for me and friends

I called here on New Year's Day because I had to get out of Bradford. But I couldn't find a reasonable place to eat until I came to here. Sadly my Pizza was less exciting than its description on the menu, so I was disappointed. To be fair, this pub is more of a drinkers pub with Sports TV and pub games, so meals are not a priority. I think they made a good effort, but I will look elsewhere, when more places are open, than eat here again.

We came for bottomless brunch and had the best time! The food was amazing and the service was so fast! We were never without a drink and everyone was so friendly. Absolutely fantastic time! Huge shoutout to Joe, Georgie and Oli who made our time at Keystones so enjoyable!!

Amazing night with the homies. The bar tender Aeryn was so cool and made our night even better! If we come back to York we will be coming here!

What an amazing little gem. Went for bottomless brunch last year with 3 of my friends and Taylor was by far the best waitress we have experienced whilst having a bottomless brunch. Attentive, swift and extremely friendly. We will certainly be back.

Nice pub good range of beers lager and IPAs

l would not step foot in this place ever again the staff were rude and unwelcoming only serving there friends and making people wait longer tables were reserved but empty kept for locals too the cocktails were shocking and when complained the manager was rude and didn’t care food was luke warm l will not be returning here ever again and the staff need to learn some manner shocking experience

Absolute joke, me and my partner nipped in for a pint on our way back to our apartment, the place was busy and everyone was friendly ( so I thought ) two young girls were sitting at a table for eight so we asked if we could sit down? They told us that they were reserved for friends, so politely I asked if we could sit until there friends arrived then we would move, we were told very arrogantly no, I told the young girls that they we're being unreasonable so they went to the bar and complained, I was then asked to finish my pint and leave, as I tried to ask for a rational explanation for this the bar maid took my pint from me and asked to leave straight away and was lead to the door with a friendly shove in the back for good measure, What a horrible experience at the end of a brilliant day, Come to York, enjoy our historic atmosphere, just don't ask to sit down,

Had a not before time toilet refurb !

Popped in here a few times whilst we were in York this weekend. Staff were very friendly and the pub had a lovely vibe and had karaoke on on the Friday evening good fun! Did enjoy and highly recommend 😁

Huge beer garden with heat lamps and cover. Well stocked cheap bar, pool table. Generally a good atmosphere outside. Take your waders for the bogs though.

Taylor was absolutely fantastic, had a lovely bottomless brunch Great value and so much fun!

Still good fun to be had £6 pint

Called in Sunday had the sharing starter it's fantastic, the staff are exceptional and very cheerful

Bottomless brunch here is incredible! Partners loved the sport too, lots of TVs and projectors. £26 for 2 hours is definitely the best price in York! Would recommend, staff are fantastic too

Came for bottomless brunch with some friends. We had booked in advance and communication from the pub was brilliant. Taking a food pre order so that they could be prepared. Service was excellent for the whole 2.5 hours we were there and we were never...

Excellent service from Taylor Drinks were plentiful couldn't drink quick enough! Food was good. One of the best bottomless brunches we have ever done. Highly recommended.

So I visited this pub whist away for work on York. The pub is nice, big beer garden and plenty of seats but the staff make this place. I was in Thursday 21st from 2-6pm and the staff working that day were brilliant. I had...

It's just the best, a home away from home. Enough said.

Go there for the speed quiz on a Thursday evening. Free to enter and a £50 tab to be won It's also craft and cocktail night with drinks at £3.50 Plenty of banter with the staff that run the quiz, and normally some sports on too 👍

The staff were really pleasant, the beer, really good. Sadly the food let the pub down. The posh fish finger sub was a real let down, minimal fish, plenty of batter. The chicken wrap was overloaded with sauce.

Booked bottomless brunch with a melt burger. Absolutely delicious! Service was brilliant. Such a friendly environment. Great value too! Taylor the manager was fantastic, constantly checking if we needed more drinks, making our bottomless brunch experience incredible! Can’t wait to go back this week!

Bottomless Brunch. Went with friends good communication when booking and pre ordering food. Was met by the manager such a friendly young lady she couldnt do enough for us, but all the staff was very friendly Food very tasty and cocktails went down well. Would...

Great little boozer, outside seating,fab staff and quite cheap drinks for York.

100% the best place for bottomless brunch in york, me and my friend decided on here over everywhere else as it has the most diverse food menu and the most diverse drinks menu. Taylor especially was amazing and definitely made our experience as worth while as possible. She’s the best🥰

Always a good atmosphere. The staff are so accommodating and helpful. Sandra’s food is top class. We always call in when visiting York.

Giving it a 5 because the mango cider was amazing. Also a decent sized beer garden.

Visited the pub at the end of July for a bottomless brunch with friends and had an amazing time. The staff were fantastic and very attentive with drinks, making sure that bottles of prosecco kept coming and that everyone always had a drink in their...

Stumbled across this pub and will certainly go back. Lots of food and drink offers daily, which was great also.

Amazing pub, just went for a bottomless brunch, they asked for drinks constantly and they were lovely. Left a tip!!!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great British pub. Really good prices for beers and drinks, haven't tried the food but the place is very traditional.

£3.50 cocktails on Thursday r goated
