The Exhibition is a grand old pub dating from 1702 that is situated on a very busy junction opposite Bootham Bar in York. As you enter up the steep couple of steps you are greeted by dark and atmospheric front room which is split by the central bar, it's a mish mash of Victorian and Art Deco with every single bit of wall space occupied with old photos, paintings, brasses and other Breweriana. There are wood panels, glowing yellow lighting and rich dark red ceiling which envelops you into the cosy space. There's so much to take in, especially the Art Deco stained glass panels and large fireplace, you'd almost be distracted from the offerings behind the bar. Which are not the most exciting but there's at least usually a couple of beers from Brew York, Black Sheep and Timothy Taylors, all priced at the usual City centre prices. Where The Exhibition really excels is it's outside space, if you follow your way around to the back of the bar and down a fairy light lit corridor it opens out first into a large conservator which is used for group bookings and then out into what is clearly the biggest and best Beer Garden in York! A beautifully secluded long yard with mature plants and great vintage wall art throughout. The only slight let down is the rather Victorian toilets which could probably do with a bit of an update but otherwise this is a very much overlooked pub that is superb in Summer and would be nice and welcoming inside any time of the year.

Been here before because The Exhibition is dead handy, being just outside the city walls at Bootham and a quick walk through the arch to the Minster, and the narrow atmospheric streets. Major plus points for us are free parking, comfy beds, great breakfast, lovely staff and it’s one of the cleanest establishments I have ever visited. You expect efficient housekeeping but because it’s basically a pub, it could be a surprise. However it wasn’t surprising because this was our second visit and really, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Great beer garden round the back and good selection of beers too.

Went to the Exhibition for a drink with family on New years eve. The pub was busy so we stood for a drink, only to be greeted by a woman claiming to be the manager. She took an attitude with us because we did not want to dance to the song being played. She was clearly drunk. She continued to be rude towards us and claimed I was using a fake ID. I'm 26, live locally and have been coming here for years, We were appalled by her behaviour and she ordered us to leave. She ruined our new years eve drink. The other bar staff were clearly perplexed as we hadn't done anything wrong.

Over the years we have stayed at several so called up-market hotels in York. This time we chose the Exhibition for a 3 night stay for my big birthday. Car parking, just outside the beer garden gate, was convenient and free for the duration of our stay. Breakfast, cooked to order, was of a very high standard and served in a very pleasant conservatory. Extra toast - no problem. Service - very friendly and attentive. The beer garden, walled on both sides with ample seating, is an attractive place to chill out and sample the good variety of beers on offer. Our bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The hotel oozes character and charm with a very friendly atmosphere. Rosa the manager is an absolute gem. Nothing is too much trouble. Her staff go the extra mile. As a consequence our overall experience was extremely positive.

Lovely pub. Lots of atmosphere and a warm welcome. Rooms are a little dated, but could be considered quirky so all good. Also, spotlessly clean. Wood at bottom of our ensuite shower cubicle could do with looking at but we were generally happy overall. Nice little touches too like bottled water and biscuits. Comfy bed, but we did have a little trouble sleeping. It's so well-positioned for the city that there was quite a bit of outside noise. I'd definitely recommend asking for a room at the back of the building! Good wholesome, well-cooked breakfast with several options served in the cosy conservatory. Conclusion; the Exhibition provides charming accommodation, and is in a perfect position for exploring the city of York (it's literally just outside Bootham Bar gate) The additional bonus is that it has free on-site parking which is a rarity in city centre accomodation. Definitely one to consider. Just take heed of the room tip above if you're a light sleeper!

Just back from a 3 night stay and it was lovely. Old worldly pub with lots of old plates, bed warmers, jugs and oddities around the bar. Beer prices were fine and it gets busy, so that usually tells you something. Staff were faultless. We were in a room called Bootham, which was directly over the bar and overlooked the front door. It was a bit noisy at times but ok for us...we are really good sleepers! If you don't go to bed with a drink in you, perhaps ask for a room at the back overlooking the beer garden. You couldn't hope for a better location and it has free parking!! At the moment they are not serving food but still do breakfast for guests (which is really good ) and they are still doing Sunday lunches. I believe it is due to staff shortages. Shower was good and instantly warm. Beds changed daily along with towels. The cleaner lady is lovely. Saw her at breakfast and told her that the tv remote needed batteries. She said she would get me some then came about 5 mins later saying that she had changed them. Can't really think of any negatives. I hate giving good reviews because it's probably full next time I want to boo but this one deserves it...remember, may be a bit noisy for some.

We come here a lot over the Christmas holiday when we visit York and there is always a lovely atmosphere at this pub/restaurant. On Xmas day, we came in for a few drinks before dinner and a lovely Spanish girl, called Jenny and her friend, who was helping out, were great fun and really helpful. They were excited to be going back to Malaga the next day but this didn't deter them from being attentive and friendly and great fun. The rioja was fabulous and there was complimentary cheeses, Christmas cake and mince pies on the bar. The Stella Artois was on tap too and the pub was really cosy and welcoming , with a roaring fire on the go, We didn't eat here but the meals we saw come out of the kitchen looked great and portion sizes were good too. Go here and you'll love it.

I'd emailed twice before arriving asking for a quieter room and saying this was our honeymoon as we got married 5 days before staying. Got there and was given a room in the main road which had an extra bed, not what your wanting on your honeymoon. After complaining they swapped our room. It was very small but better for our needs. The whole place was boiling, I heard other guests complaining to each other about the overly hot rooms. Didn't see any manager once just bar staff and a cook/maid. This isnt a cheap place to stay either,I would have thought some one could have asked if we were enjoying our honeymoon too. Very expensive at the bar £8 for a glass of ordinary wine. In comparison at the Nepalese restaurant over the road it was £5 a glass. A brilliant restaurant btw, highly recommended it. Our break fast was nice, although some of the food was a bit cold. We were also woken up on Sunday at 7am by staff banging barrels around outside and shouting to each other for half an hour. York is lovley but I'd not stay at the Exhibition again, I'd pay a bit more or save money and stay in a guest house which is basically what this was anyway.

Me and my wife have just arrived back home after staying overnight at the Exhibition Hotel. The hotel is very clean but really drab. Our room was very small and basic to say the least. No door on the wardrobe very poorly decorated and freezing. Only about 5 channels on the ancient TV on the wall and not room to swing a cat in the bathroom. Arriving back after a night out we found an electric heater had been put in the room as they were apparantly having "trouble" with the heating. Never mind, this morning we awoke to no hot water either in the shower or in the sink.????, REALLY.!!! No mention of this from the manager who never showed his face the time we were there or indeed in the morning when we were checking out. There is no way.!!!! this hotel is worth £125 a night at the very most £70 and even that would have been to much. It was much like the hotels national holidays use on a bad trip. Breakfast was ok but again basic, will not be going back again, you have been warned.

Aparecí aquí un par de veces este fin de semana durante nuestro tiempo en la ciudad. Solo parando para tomar una copa en el camino al hotel, la primera y la segunda visita estuvieron bien, pero la última resultó frustrante. La publicidad de "7 barriles de cerveza" desafortunadamente solo tenían un portero de chocolate (que era un gusto adquirido) y un IPA "justo" de barril. Aparentemente tenían cerveza disponible en la bodega, pero no estaba lista.No es bueno para un viernes por la noche! .

The Exhibition Hotel is an absolutely fantastic pub I always look forward to visiting on any trip to York I take. I love the look of this pub,its got a great interior, neat and tidy,great decor and furnishings including a cool looking serving bar, lots of bric a brac adorning the walls, fantastic photo's festooned all over the pub,theres also plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its a great pub to unwind in. My twin brother Stephen and I were here on a bitterly cold and rainy Saturday night, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff, after a quick study of the real ale's on offer my brother went for York Brewery " guzzler " while I opted to have Sharps Brewery " doom bar " these real ale's were served in excellent condition, we very luckily managed to get a table by the roaring real wood fire were we warmed up and sipped our delicious ales in this fine public house.My real ale was outstanding, I really enjoy the ales brewed by Sharps Brewery, their doom bar is one of their flagship ales,a rich ,hoppy and well balanced ale bursting with taste,very easy to drink,a real ale style I really enjoy, my twin brother Stephen also gave the thumbs up to his ale.We really enjoyed our ales in here and the great vibe so much so that we ended up staying for another ale each before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Exhibition Hotel is easy to locate along Bootham, it's just off Exhibition Square and only a minute from the very impressive and magnificent Bootham Bar.Opening hours are;Monday to Thursday, 11am till 11pm. Friday & Saturday, 11am till Midnight. Sunday, Midday till 10.30pm.A great pub and one I highly recommend you visit if your in the area.

Se tarda un poco en acostumbrarse a las cervezas inglesas, pero la sidra era realmente buena y muy fría. El menú está en el lado más corto, pero el tamaño de las porciones es grande Tenía el pescado y las caderas el primer día, y un pastel de bistec y cerveza en mi segundo día. Ambos platos definitivamente cumplieron mis expectativas. La parte superior del pastel estaba crujiente, esponjosa y absorbió la salsa de pastel muy bien.Definitivamente recomiendo este pub, la calidad de la comida y las bebidas fue realmente buena, el servicio fue rápido y excelente, y los precios eran decentes.

We were staying on Bootham with four pubs within a short walk (not planned, honestly) and settled on The Exhibition - a good choice. It's a lovely, quirky pub, from the stained glass over the bar, and the tiling along it - all beautifully maintained. Dined here twice - they offer a Sunday roast all day, when other pubs have run out. Generous servings at a very reasonable price, and the second meal was equally good. Good beer, friendly staff - if I lived here, this would be my local.

The interior of The Exhibition Hotel takes one back to the golden era of pubs, and it is a peaceful and reasonably comfortable setting for a meal. We wandered in at random at 12:45 pm , and noted that it said outside that meal service started at 12:30. We asked the bar guy about food, and he said they would not actually serve until 1:00. We asked for a menu, and since it looked ok, ordered two ales and sat to wait. Ten minutes later, the same guy informed us that the menu we had seen would not be served today, and gave us another which offered nothing we very much wanted. However, since we had purchased drinks, we gave up and ordered our meals.

Lovely old style pub near the centre of York. Food is good, drinks are pricey but they have a wide range and prices are same as everywhere else nearby. Will visit again.

Not many places welcome kids but this place did. Nice traditional pub with a decent selection of beer, decent food and friendly staff. The outside area at the back is great in the summer, quite spacious too. Great for a quick pint, so pop in if you're passing.

3.5 if I could. Stopped in for lunch. Went to the beer garden out back. Decent enough to get you out in the sun, but no view or anything like that. Beer list was lacking, no IPA's or strong ales. They boast 7 cask ales, but all were very similar, could use more variety. Small bottled beer selection. Fish and chips was good. But, they don't have proper English chips. They only had what they call skinny fries here, American style fries. That may be good if you don't like English chips, but what if you do? Mushroom soup was a little bland, but decent. Mixed salad bowl was nice, and a good size for the money. Cauliflower cheese was tasty. (First time I ordered this!) Steak & onion sandwich was very good and cooked to order but would benefit from a thinner slicing of the steak so it would be easier to bite off a bite at a time. We were there on a Sunday and were happy they served the whole menu (some places only serve a limited menu on Sunday); however, the regular menu is smaller than some places offer. Was irritating that they didn't have the menu posted outside or the opening time posted outside either. (We arrived before they opened.) Good location in town, not too far from the Minster or Museum Gardens.

We called in on the off chance just passing. This was the nicest of the three pubs we called in today. Staff friendly and welcoming, Fiday 4th May 4pm , very pleasant bar with good music and the bar made was very good at her job. The place looks spotless.

What a cracking pub. All the staff made us feel welcome. We originally wanted to book here to stay for the weekend but couldn't find a room online. The bar itself is very oldy worldy and true to itself. Very clean and well looked after. The food was absolutely bang on. Well priced and a must if you are in York. The Mrs had the steak but didn't want the extras as in most places now as in grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, she wanted an off menu salad, the young lady who served her went out of her way to speak to the chef and made it happen. I went for the steak and ale pie, probably the best pie I've ever had. Its massive and the meat was really tender. We came back on the Saturday but it was so busy we couldn't find a seat, we ventured all around York absolutely starving. The Mrs enjoyed the Exhibition that much we ended up back there and bagged a seat and had the same again. There was a little resistance from a different barman this time about the Mrs going off menu. Please make other options available we will defo be back. Brilliant place.
