The Black Horse in York

Lovely, friendly pub with a great atmosphere. The landlady is great and really welcoming. We've been a few times when we visit York and will certainly be back.

Brilliant bar staff, good atmosphere & an interesting quiz. That's my Monday nights sorted!

Went here for a wake. Lovely surroundings. Food was very nice. Nightmare to park, not many spaces, but there was lots of people.

Good beer, good service, good music.

Lovely pub, great beers, well kept, and great pies. Abi was especially helpful with recommendations of other places to go.

Lovely old traditional pub, good choice of drinks.

Lovely traditional pub in a nice spot.

Wish they had thesksons old peculiar but otherwise great

Been here a few years back. What a difference. The whole experience was more welcoming and a good sized garden to sit in and friendly staff.

Staff friendly -nice atmosphere However the pork pie was the nastiest I've ever had avoid at all costs if hungry stick to crisps !!!

Average food. The prices are not cheap.

Yeah popular on certain nights & live music some weekends. Handy watering Venue for town .Quiz on weds ! Change of ownership seems they want to run it like a an insect farm with the amount of flies ect ???? Wont be going back

Full of regulars this pub offers a traditional atmosphere. However,it's prices are far from traditional, £12 for 2 pints of cordial and soda water, £2.40 for 2 packets of crisps...I expect much much more for these kind of prices , I certainly will not be returning....

Good traditional pub, with a decent selection of cask beer.

A little bit dark but cosy, has some good groups on, good space outside to enjoy alls good here

Didn't have a pre but they looked good and what can be better than a pre and a pint? It is the other side of York for us but must come back. The ale choice was v good and we enjoyed what we had. Thank you

We loved the two singers on acoustic guitars

Amazing pub just outside the York walls and was near our Airbnb when we visited. Really liked the bartender and saw a great mix of actual locals including dogs.

Had a good night out at the Black Horse, friendly atmosphere and good quality drinks.

Great pub looking a little shabby beer garden tired worn out tables seats relatively new noisy extractor fan in the beer Garden. However great staff and good selection of ales/ cider/alcohol free. I understand it’s awaiting new management so I hope this pub gets the TLC it need to bring it back too it’s past glory. Maybe even open up the kitchens again and serve some light meals again possibly.

Me & my two best friends saw a boarded notice of a band that was playing at this establishment that evening. The band was called The Mother & they did not disappoint. They played an array of music which had the people singing, dancing & clapping. A really good band & a good night. 👍

The staff were very very helpful and friendly

A really great place a get drinking pub

We come here often with friends and our dogs. It's a friendly, relaxed pub with nice beers on tap and nice staff who are always happy to help. They host gigs on most weekends too, which is cool!

Nice place to go for a good honest pint also has a car park so easy to get into york dog friendly to winner winner

Great friendly pub. Small but good selection of ales. Good atmosphere. Didn't have food.

Nice selection of draught beers and a good quiz night on Wednesdays

There is no food served here. Just beer and wine. Lovely atmosphere. Sat for a while and finally approached bartender to be told no food here. Service is for locals only

Proper good boozer, nice outdoor seating. Good mix of beers on cask/keg. Pork pie really tasty !

Thus pub is a grown up pub , no students no families just older people out for a pleasant time . It's calm and cool on the inside with an older worldly feel , and outside is a large seating area that's pleasant with flowers but not over the top . There is no food I believe but a good choice of lagers , real ales and lots of ciders - and the prices are very reasonable as its so close to town . The owners ALWAYS come across as very professional and polite - and on certain nights they even throw on a live band - I've see the signs but not actually been . For many years I drank in the Brigadier Gérard a Sam's Smiths pub just up the road but all the rules in there are ridiculous- so if you want to find a hidden gem where you can have a pleasant time with your friends - the The Black Horse on Monkgate is the one !!!!

Great staff and great atmosphere.

Nice local pub, good quiz night on a Monday

Good beer, friendly atmosphere and good service.

Live Bands, good service and a nice beer garden. Great place to spend a summer evening

Great little pub but I didnt eat here so I can't comment

Always changing draught beers 🍻 this time I had Barnsley Bitter FANTASTIC

Nice traditional pub not far past Monkgate bar. Music most Friday night's.

Great pub with a good range of cask.

Played a gig there. Landlord a top bloke, beer lovely, crowd ace.

Brilliant pub. Wide selection of ales and decent lagers.

Have not been in here for a few years. Surprised at how well the pub is run now. Good selection of beers., Beer garden and live music.

Great pub and very friendly. Live bands on every Sat night, and a wonderful acoustic session each Sunday afternoon. Strong recommend.

Smashing little traditional pub. Reasonably priced drinks, good atmosphere.

First time in pub, lovely atmosphere, very friendly lady behind bar, great traditional bar, not that many left,well worth a visit to support good bars like this .

Great pub, good beer and staff.

Lovely pub great atmosphere chilled warm and friendly..great band reasonably priced drinks..first but won't be the last!!! Xx

Great live music, friendly atmosphere & staff

Good choice of beers and local vibe

Always worth a short walk out of the city centre - interesting pub with good beer and staff. Had a sympathetic face lift during Covid.

Old Rosie cider and pork pies. Always visited when I am up this end of York

Lovely place friendly staff. Great night.

I went to the pub last night for the quiz. My only complaint is that the quizmaster, who is an ambassador for the Pub when presenting the quiz, had a question completely wrong when he said that the attack on Pearl Harbour was in December 1940 when fact it was 1941. When I told him of his error, he answered me with a load of fictional history. If he can get this fact totally wrong, how accurate were his other answers. It spoiled my evening.

Nice chilled out pub, great acoustic music session on a Sunday for all levels.

great pub with staff and a friendly boss who loves his city.

Great pup, super friendly staff great atmosphere 👍👍😁

Fantastic place, friendly staff,brilliant.

Lovely homely pub with polite, friendly staff. The toilets were clean and the locks on the door work. They have a lovely outdoor area, there is a seating area outdoors under shelter with heat lamps. Came to see the band Dufflegoat here, they were amazing!

Wed night pub quiz, good selection of beers/ales.

Great pub, friendly staff, a fave and regular haunt for us when we're in town!

Great place very friendly and good Beer

A classic old pub. A good selection of beers and ciders. A neat little beer garden at the back.

Great Pub if you like a Variety in your choice of Ales .

Superb choice of real ale. Cant fault

Traditional old style pub with a great selection of ale, lager and cider. Well worth a visit

A pub with people with beards and stuff of the like foooooood and we all love a creamy head on our ale

Good local real ale pub. Occasional dodgy folk music only adds to the experience🍻🎶

Great pub with a nice range of beers and a comfortable lounge bar with lots of board games. Would have happily spent an afternoon here.

A bit of an odd place , swathed with Black Sheep marketing yet they don't sell it , staff/ landlord was quite put out when asked about it ....as if I should have known ! No real alternative either , mainly blonde beer or IPA. Couple of drinks were ok , went for IPA , but can't say I would rush back , shame as it's local.

My twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around this part of town when we decided to drop into The Black Horse Pub,a pub we always look forward to visiting on any trip to York we take. This is a classic British pub,housed in a fantastic solid brick Victorian era building,the interior is as traditional as it gets ,a solid wood serving bar,dark wood features throughout,great decor and furnishings,tv's and big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside in their beer garden,it's just a great pub to unwind in. We were here on a Thursday late afternoon,pub was very busy ,a quick study of their real ale's which is very well thought out and we both opted to have Ossett Brewery pale ale,these were served in pristine condition,we luckily managed to get a table were we just kicked back and took in the great pub we were in. My pale ale was really good ,a crisp,well balanced pale ale,hints of toffee,a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a slight bitter finish to it ,a classic British pale ale served in a classic British pub. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here and our visit before we moved on and when we are back in York hopefully very soon we eagerly look forward to revisiting The Black Horse Pub again . The Black Horse Pub is easy to locate along Monkgate. Opening hours are; Monday to Friday,open from 3pm. Saturday & Sunday,open from midday. A great pub,well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Great beer choice, fantastic entertainment and a reasonable price.

Comfy and clean but the atmosphere wasn't there, however I was there quite early in the evening so may just have missed their good times

The Black Horse on Monkgate is one of the many pubs/bars and restaurants which we went to on a six day city break in York. The Black Horse pub is housed in a superb Flemish style building and dates from 1897. The pub itself was once a Tap&Spile many years ago but reverted to its original name later on.The pub has a superb interior with many interesting fixtures and features and a superb outside beergarden.With superb seating options throughout the whole pubs interior and knowledgeable staff it's a very good pub to relax and unwind and enjoy a few beers. We had just been to the fantastic Brigadier Gerard further up the road and on our way back to the city centre we visited this really good pub.This pub was very busy when we visited here but with ample seating options you don't have a problem in finding a seat. When here we had an Ossett brewery beer each which were superb and well priced. This is an excellent pub and is well worth a visit and very easy to get to from Monk Bar bus stop its a minute's walk.(This is my first review of the Black Horse). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-15.00-22.00. Friday-15.00-23.00. Saturday-13.00-23.00. Sunday-14.00-21.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Monk Bar bus stop.

Small, local, friendly pub with good beer.

Traditional pub with a good variety of well kept beers. Friendly barman who was happy to give us directions to the next place we were visiting.

Just how a pub should be, warm, inviting and friendly.

Excellent pub Great bar staff Very clean and comfortable

Good choice of ales, good looking pub good atmosphere

Nice pub just further out than most which gives it an average amount of foot traffic. Live music has just started out again when writing this review so don't have any opinions on that matter tho they do have bands on quite a lot. Conclusion, small pub with a good atmosphere and kind staff, lovely for a quite drink, or a loud one with the live music, definitely and overall classic pub 👍

Friendly pub with a good selection of drinks and live music.

Quite tight on space but not too busy, so it was okay

Excellent service, nice surroundings and excellent beers 🍻.

Five star pint with FIVE STAR SERVICE!

Good pub. Well set up for Covid, good beer and helpful staff. Outside tables too for the better days.

Cracking pint. Friendly staff. My favourite York pub.

Excellent pub, great selection of beers and ciders & very friendly and helpful staff

Took my fiancé to York as she’s never been. We stayed in a small hotel next door to the black horse. The hotel recommended the pub for the parking ( £5 per day absolute bargain) We had a few drinks on the sat night on our way back to the hotel and again on the Sunday afternoon. The staff and owner was very chatty and very hospitable. Couldn’t do enough for us. The drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. Extremely clean with an amazing beer garden. Will definitely go back and highly recommend this fantastic pub. Many thanks wayne & jo x

bit of a local pub but cheap and a friendly atmosphere.

Really friendly and welcoming. Great music and relaxed.

Lovely pub with a good selection of beers.
