The Fulford Arms in York

A great grassroots music venue with a warm, friendly atmosphere and a lovely team. Plenty of great bands and gigs to see throughout the year, definitely worth visiting.

Was in York stopping opposite the pub,went in for last couple of drinks to be asked have you got pre booked ticket ,to be told there's a gig on it will be £8 each to get in,really??? thought they got oasis playing ,next night exactly the same what a croc of ,not a pub complete boll#@s avoid at all costs

Good vibe, Good beer, fair price. Good place to watch football with big screen

Always excellent, small music venue.

Brilliant venue for performing at (the soundman is ace), and great for seeing bands, too. A great selection of beers and a lovely garden. What's not to love?

The band were brilliant, not advertised is it costs more on the door and it's £5:50 a pint.

Great venue walking distance from York centre. Friendly staff and reasonable drinks prices for a music venue.

Great venue for those small gigs

Great venue, awesome acoustics & friendly staff. Saw Apollo Junction & James Hope on an afternoon gig. First time we've visited Fulford Arms & will defo go again.

Great music venue, beer garden and lovely people!

Had a great night watching toby lee great atmosphere and very friendly

Absolutely love this pub. Old school, quaint and great selection of tasty beers. Went recently for a pint of science talk (excellently run). The free arcade machine is a very nice and welcome addition too. Street Fighter etc. to enjoy. Very nice lighting, small and intimate venue. Liked the display of gig info near bar counter for comedy etc. happening in similar venues around the city and beyond.

Visited a house gig called Hoerstfest 6 on 30th March 2024 Some amazing bands, top rated and fun games. The atmosphere was outstanding and I'd highly recommend this venue.

Spent a wonderful evening watching young rock talent. A great venue.

Great niche venue to experience fantastic live music from quality musicians / singists without the fuss and racket of an arena. Proper gig!!

Lovely venue. Great communication via FB, too. I left my cardigan behind, and one of lovely staff members came out of the venue to find me to hand it to me!! Definitely 5stars👍

Great venue to see smaller bands. Definitely my favourite in York and they're doing a lot for the York music scene!

Great venue went to see Pat Butcher they were great🤘

Small music venue in old pub, wide, low stage but good visibility and a great, intimate atmosphere to see bands. One room venue with small bar at the back.

Saw Chappaqua Wrestling as part of independant music week, great vibe, great music, great evening

Fantastic independent venue in York. Worth travelling to.

Super music venue. Small intimate , old school. Felt right at home as soon we walked in. Bar staff were particularly friendly. Loved it will be back.

Great night grandsons band got to final of band camp

One of my favourite venues in the world.

My kinda music pub, super set up, excellent friendly staff, class management....reminds me of the London Music pub venues in the late 70's Punk/New Wave gigs, I used to frequent....thank heavens these venues are still alive and kicking.....an absolute must go to venue, if you're visiting York....and of course love, live, loud music....🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Best small venue for original music

Brilliant venue run by amazing people. Lots of events held here, so there's something for everyone!

For a small venue it's a great night out.

Hilarious. Amazing and friendly. Stumbled on a punk night whilst visiting and bumped into a friend from home. Wish we got the promotef womans name as she was brilliant and appreciated out police with ice cream van sirens idea!

Love this place, BGB nights are always great

Great place, not massive inside but good value for money

Great venue for a drag show! I hope events like this continue!

Great bar with reasonably priced drinks. Great music and met lots of great people.

Small but very loud and proud. Good selection of bands

Brilliant small music venue, decent beer at a reasonable price, friendly staff, from ticket office to bar staff. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning

Spent the weekend at Jorvik: Bridge of Destiny festival and it was magnificent. The staff, the sound and the venue in general was fantastic. I’ve played the venue before and had a great time then, but felt I should leave a positive review as it’s well deserved. Thanks for everything and for putting up with a lot of heavy drinkers - your team are an asset to you!

The place is nice for gigs, sadly my new friend Deb is very very rude, not going into details but me and a the bunch I was with decided to ask for drinks with the other young lad behind the bar, we went to have a good time and she kinda ruined the mood, just until we had a very nice chat with Steph, well done Steph, keep being so nice… Deb, please go home, get another non customer facing job and let someone else nice to deal with customers

Had Sunday lunch. Reasonably priced, didn't have to wait ages and it was all hot when it came to the table. No, it wasn't fancy and the price reflects that but it was a decent plate of home cooked food and I didn't have to wash up. Job done. Staff were all friendly and I found it accessible even though its small.

One of the best local gig venues around. Always a great atmosphere, and some surprisingly big acts for an intimate venue.

Good intimate music venue. Sound engineering is spot on.

Great venue. It's intimate, the prices and range of drinks are good and it's got parking too.

Excellent venue, had a great time watching sellsword 🤟

Great little venue, nice beer good atmosphere

Great venue, and decent drink prices. Would definitely go back!

Great acoustics great atmosphere but waaaay too warm.....everyone was sweating buckets. Sadly the stage is too low so could not see Birthday Massacre at all. Had to resort to watching on the screens.

Nice live music venue. Staff Very friendly and gave some nice history about the Pub.

Another amazing night brilliant gig and fantastic atmosphere friendly too

We spent a wonderful evening at The Fulford Arms watching The Damn Truth ( an amazing Canadian band ) . We had travelled from the previous nights gig in Glasgow and arrived as soon the pub was open . I must and want to give a massive thank you to Steph who was so friendly and helpful … we were later served by Benji ; a very polite and friendly young man . We met up again with people we had met at the Chester and Newcastle gigs and had an amazing time …. Will definitely return and now keeping an eye on forthcoming events …. Brilliant place …thanks to all Deb & Andy

Excellent venue with a proud history of putting on top quality acts. One for the Road festival 2022 was a brilliant mix of old favourites, unknown (to me) and local bands. A great mix of musical genres, though they did run out of beer 🤣

Student music venue, just not my scene.

All staff, management and locals were SO warm and friendly and welcoming. Haven't felt that safe in a pub for years (I am from Coventry so maybe that's why) will definitely be back!

Having only ever been in once before for a Pint of Real Ale,I had the enormous pleasure of attending a gig last Friday,with my brother and WOW ....what a place. Three very good bands (The Rosemaries,local band....The Exceptional Mr.Hyde,3 chaps from Selby...and Klammer,from my-patch,Huddersfield). It was a truly memorable night (I was the driver,so totally sober) and we were both more than impressed by the attitude of the staff,both on the door and behind the bar,and there was a very good crowd of sensible well-behaved mainly local people. Honestly can not fault the place and will whole-heartedly recommend to others. Cheers for a FANTASTIC night,in a TOP TOP venue! Hopefully we'll be back.

Went to an amazing performance and loved the atmosphere. Super great little spot, will definitely come back

I can recommend The Fulford Arms for the music, but if you don't or can't drink alcohol, you'd be best off sticking to water at the prices they are charging for soft drinks - £4.90 for a bottle of an alcohol free drink that costs just over £1 to buy anywhere else.

Great little venue for live music, decent choice of beer and a large beer garden.

A fantastic place for live music! I have spent many an evening enjoying myself within these walls!

Great intimate music venue, good beer prices ,friendly staff and they book brilliant bands. Went to see City Snakes , Huntergatherer (both great bands)and the headliners The False Heads who were epic. Absolutely loved it. Get a ticket and go

Great drinks, great venue even better staff

They have great events but they could do more to make the place look nicer.

Great little music venue sound is really good.

Great music venue keeping live music going

Went to see the band here and had a really good night.

Cracking gig venue. Had some absolutely brilliant nights in here with friends and meeting new people. Pretty sure there's something you'll like on the extensive list of artists who play here.

Brilliant place, first class live venue, great bar selection and awesome staff

A great venue, with great music and excellent staff!

Often attend here for gigs. Can become very crowded, and visibility can be poor for shorter patrons as the stage area is only a small riser. There is a TV screen with a camera view of the stage, so all is not lost. A well-stocked bar has alcoholic, alcoholhfree and soft drinks.

Confused by the toilets but that's just daft me! The Bug Club were fantastic, pints of Timmy T's were good and cheap enough and it was a fair amount of people in, not too full but enough allowed in to make it a proper crowd. Some miserable folk on the floor but the venue can't control the clientele! Great night

Great venue for upcoming artists. Bottled beer always a good option.

Unbelievable venue for a gig. Bar staff awesome

Brilliant gig venue. Parking available at the rear, staff friendly, good drink prices.

It's a friendly pub and a good place too go to. I will be going back there again in the near future.

Love this place. Excellent bands and crowd

Great night out...fab pub, staff and facilties

Amazing Live Music venue. Quick bar, good acoustics, experienced soundman... And some great bands/lineup. Here for Riskee and the Ridicule.

Great local venue for upcoming bands.

Lovely, intimate little venue. was there to see Martha Hill and it was like a flash back to the days of going to see mates playing in college bars!

Very small venue but has a great feel. Good for music gigs.

Great music venue, great service, good selection of drinks.

A great live music venue. Loved it

Awesome pub great staff beer and music

Saw Katy J Pearson here, great little venue, good sound and atmosphere

Excellent pub warm friendly atmosphere great food. Found us a table with half an hour notice on Saturday night. Arrived to a busy pub but not over crowded and nothing was too much trouble

Ok, lots of parking very small inside.

Nice building, lovely staff and a decent car park

Fantastic staff Fantastic venue will go again .... made out 60 or so staff very welcome 😀
