The Old Bank in York

What a great place to go and have a drink very warm atmosphere staff are very approachable and extremely helpful 👍

Very delicious traditional breakfast, one of the best I have ever had. It was during the Halloween time and the pub had lovely decorations, very detailed and stylish. Great place with a cozy, slightly industrial vibe. I took off 1 star because although it was a quiet morning, we had to wait for a while until the breakfast was brought to us, we thought we might have been forgotten, apart from that, everything else was enjoyable.

A great vibe in the centre of York, whether you choose to visit for a steady few drinks with your other half or you’re calling in for a night out with the lads. A great selection of beverages and these are well kept too! Thumbs up from me 👍🏻

We came here after looking at reviews but we got there they had no chicken goujons for the kids , no fries , no pizzas , they said they couldn’t do absolut vodka on the drinks deal with burgers , was really let down really . Also couldn’t use 40% discount code for the food as we had the burger / drinks deal which wasn’t on the t&cs

Really good-sized pub, downstairs has pool tables. Darts and an outdoor seating area, too. Great selection of drinks and modern music playing thru the sound system. There are lots of tv screens, including a huge projection screen. Getting served was a little slow at times simply because not enough staff working.

What a lovely bar, friendly staff

Food was small portions and not as good as it was advertised. Not worth the money. Pudding was cold when it finally came out and when we asked for a replacement they came out tepid. Not great service either. Staff generally ignored us and didn't check if everything was okay with us once. Avoid.

Came in on NYE to watch my husbands band Just Another Jester. Amazing venue and good friendly staff

We have been to this pub previously but on this visit the service wasn't good and the food was awful. No chips to have with the meal so charged us extra for waffle fries even though we were paying for the chips in the deal? Once ordered ...then told us it would be a 25 minute wait! It took 35mins after asking how long! Jackets were hard and the chicken goujons were cold and bread stale 😔

Great service from the gentleman behind the bar and really love the atmosphere in this place. We only had drinks today but the menu looked comprehensive and the food we saw looked very good so we will be returning to eat in the near future.

The bouncers let me in then the bar lady said my id is fake and took me to the bouncers who proceeded to snap my id. It’s my real id lol which I now have to get replaced

Nice pub. Appreciate it was busy so lot of menu items not available but running out of chips isn't ideal . The cheesy cajun pasta lacked cheese and was rather chewy sadly very overpriced

Love the Old Bank some great offers and lovely staff Was brilliant compared to Guinness and Madri pub

Rude staff. Not had an interaction that poor with a bartender for literally years

Staff were extremely rude and unhelpful, the food was unpleasant - definitely wouldn’t come back

Always have a great time here. All the team are amazing, welcoming and friendly. Great place to socialise with friends. Joe and Alex always go out of their way to look after us and deliver a great service. True testaments to the business.

Busy and loud ... maybe I'm too old ha ha.

Awful place. It was my friend’s 21st birthday and we were not allowed to sing karaoke. The man running karaoke was unkind.

Very busy staff disorganised small bar for the size of the the pub and people

Amilia was lovely and absolutely made our night! Super friendly and gave really good drink recommendations to make sure we had a great time. Have been singing her praises and the Old Bank’s all week. Will definitely be back!

Received great service from Amelia today! She was very attentive and had a smile on her face despite the busy atmosphere. Thank you, Amelia :)

I always have an amazing experience when Amelia is working at the pub! She’s friendly, attentive, and makes every guest feel welcome. Her upbeat attitude and excellent service always ensure a great time. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for top-notch service!

Nice meals good selection had steak and ale pie and my wife had tia vegatable curry both very tasty meals staff friendly and welcoming would recommend

A big slay from Hannah and Bradley from old bank York team who were very lovely and checked on me and my girlies and made sure we were safe! Highly recommended

I took a group of language students here tonight to watch the Liverpool vs Real Madrid game, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The venue was top-notch, spacious, and set up perfectly for an enjoyable sporting event. The atmosphere was electric with just the right mix of energy and comfort, making it a fantastic place to enjoy a match. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly for our group. Special thanks to the manager Lewis, who went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. His friendly demeanor and excellent service truly made the evening even better. I cannot recommend this sports bar highly enough to anyone looking for a great spot to catch a game. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

Visit the Old Bank quite regularly and always greeted by amelia with a big smile. Staff are amazing and always look after their customers

Had such a great time at the old bank! I was served by Megan and she was really helpful regarding student deals, would recommend!

It was great !!!! Alex was a good bartender !!!! I had a great time we did karaoke on Thursday and it was really good I could request many songs

Old Bank was great, got every drink I want and Alex was an especially great bartender! Recommend going on a Thursday when there is karaoke

Great spot for a few beers after uni. Big credit to the bartender Joe who was amazing all night and if I must say rocking a smashing trim too. Great Craic throughout!

went for quiz and alex ryan was super nice and i was like oh my gosh i love that song so much and amelia max and daisy were cool as well

Alex Ryan era súper genial y servicial y agradable y el servicio de hos era increíble, así como Margarita Max y Amelia todos eran increíbles.

Great pub, breakfast was great, drinks good quality

I love Jodie bye, she is great.

Food was delicious. Had to wait longer than expected but worth the wait. Great atmosphere.

Here for live sports and beers. The place was very crowded initially as they were hosting an event but the mood settled later in the evening.

Nice food and staff. A bit dark in the place..need some light in the place.

We arrived around 11 and ordered breakfast items for 4 adults. The pub was quiet and there was plenty of different seating arrangements to choose from. We didn't have to wait long for food either. Service was great as was the food. Only fault we had was that some of the drinks glasses were a fair bit worn and scratched.

The staff were lovely and helpful going above and beyond. The atmosphere was calm and quiet with light music with such lovely autumn decorations. They were sadly out of regular fries however they're waffle fries were crisp and fluffy. Pricing seems standard market price for the time.

Cannot be faulted. A solid, consistent pub. Nothing fancy but does the job at regular prices. Spacious inside with a beer garden.

Decent, nothing special. No complaints

Can't go wrong with this pub; food and drinks are well priced given the location, and atmosphere is consistently pleasant. Varied events such as quizzes and karaoke throughout the week make it a great venue for socials for a wide range of people.

Joshua really made my experience amazing! He was very helpful and recommended me an amazing drink that I bought multiple times! ✖️

A very busy pub with karaoke and loads of places to sit both in and out. An interesting experience for one about 3 times the age of the majority of customers! It brought back good memories.😁

Great place for watching sports and eating! Food and drinks at reasonable prices

Very relaxing place. Joe and Josh both very helpful service. Great place for students to go out due to their student deals. Food not bad either. They

A typical pub food, but well presented and a huge clean pub and nice range of beers/lagers.

if you like your drinks served in dirty glasses followed by really rubbish fried food served cold - this is the place for you.

Owen was delightful. The pub was lovely and had great food and live music.

I came to old bank and it was incredible my service was amazing the staff was amazing and I think she was called jess with the pink hair she was so lively and made my time here perfect

Jess was great really friendly and helpful

had such a wonderful time, Jodie's service was excellent on open mic night and she made sure I had a spectacular night, thanks!!

Really good bar for a few drinks, nice atmosphere. Max gave great service, quick and friendly. Enjoyed my visit so will be back.

The presence of emperor max once i walked in made my nightly visit to The Old Bank York all the more better. Max’s aura is nigh-omnipresent and my pub experience would not be the same without him. The sharp, succinct and supremely effective service of Jodie and Jess respectively only served to accentuate this experience and further mythologise my experience at this centurion of a pub. Max is truly a sight to behold, his pulchritudinous features have truly illuminated my night and healed my marriage with my wife. I will be visiting again

We had a verry pleasant evening, good food, lovely people. great service. Music could be a bit more subdued. What difference does the number of characters make?

Based. Set us up with a great table for the f1, abby was amazing.

Lovely drinks, good atmosphere and excellent staff. Abby was top-notch!

The music is much too loud to have a decent conversation. The staff are very kind and quick with their service. Not sure I'd come back...

Pub was quiet but it took over 30 minutes for my baguette to arrive. However it was excellent, with refreshing salad and nice chips. To many tvs for my liking

great atmosphere lovely staff and nice drinks :)

I had a wonderful birthday at The Old Bank York today!! Great team and wonderful drinks! The atmosphere was spot on!! Will be back:)

I dream about the spicy waffle fries no word of a lie

Me and the wife went for some food, service was excellent, staff were extremely friendly and love the small plates. Great venue to watch live music or sport

Ordered a coke on the app. The glass was completely full of ice and a very small amount of coke. As if I could have some more coke added to my drink as I had finished it in a few minutes. The lady behind the bar was very uninterested in my disappointment and wasn’t bothered and said I’d have to pay for another coke and just have less ice. Unbelievable attitude. Very unprofessional attitude behind the bar.

Always have a great time at Old Bank, service is quick and the beer garden is massive! The staff are also great and Max especially is super friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond. Definitely worth a visit!!

Great food, great staff, can’t wait to come back this weekend to watch all the football!

The place itself is great. What really annoyed me was getting IDd 5 times by the same person. How do you realise I'd been served when I've been in front of the bar for 4 hours.

Great atmosphere in a very cool bar. Great variety of food and drink will make me come back again one night as has a great vibe.

Decent pub with reasonable prices. Staff are quite friendly and has a nice out door area down the stairs.

Loved this place, decent selection of food and drinks and a great hidden beer garden downstairs! (If I hadn't gone to the toilet I wouldn't have known it was there). Friendly staff and a couple of pool tables too but I can't believe it's now £1.50 a game... :D

Ok for lunch but the volume of the TV very so can't have a conversation

Great tvs with different sports. While I was enjoying Wimbledon, hubby was watching and betting and winning on horse racing

The Old Bank in York is an utter disappointment. While the decor might fool you with its charm, the experience quickly goes downhill. We were lied to about the availability of gammon by an incompetent waiter, and instead, we got disgusting, grease-soaked fish and chips. The pub is filthy, with revoltingly sticky floors that scream neglect and poor hygiene. And to add insult to injury, the waitress was shockingly rude and insincere, making us feel completely unwelcome. Avoid The Old Bank at all costs. It's a disgrace to the concept of a family-friendly pub.

Great place...2pool tables and decent beer garden

Awesome place to chill out and shoot some pool and have a good time also a great bar with great service too (max is awesome) shame there is one bouncer that seems to think he owns the place but avoid him and get a game going

Can't rate the food as I had none but the pub itself is good with a good atmosphere and friendly bar staff

Great food and drink at good prices

Absolutely shocking service..17/7/2024 time for cctv about 10.30am Young woman to busy gossiping to only two people in the place to take our order Asked twice if they was open.. "Yeah" Walked around to try and get served elsewhere not even an acknowledgement or any sign of polite service e... No wonder it was empty. In a busy place like York. Problem here.. Staff 17

Good food. 2 for 1 on cocktails. They have an app to order food with but the way it works means you don't get the discounts so need to to to the bar. Lots of seats.

Food was really basic. Place was full of 17 year olds on gear. England got beat

Amelia thank you for letting me in

Wide wheelchair entrance, mostly on the level inside. Different designs of. Wooden floors throughout. Quite spacious, nice tables and chairs but a mix match. Usual tap beers and a few real ales available. Quite light and airy. A few TVs on the walls showing sport. Staff were friendly and polite. Families welcome. Beer was good. Enjoyed my visit.

Staying in York for a month and had to come back to this same bar. At first i was served by amelia who made the visit so welcoming and because of her my friends and i had to come back. The atmosphere is amazing and so inviting. Definitely recommend

Lovely place great entertainment and plenty of choice also max is the best, warm welcoming and all round great guy the team are lucky to have him. Well worth the visit x

I recently visited The Old Bank and had an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm and electric.. The bar staff, especially Abby and Amelia, were phenomenal. Abby greeted me with an infectious smile and gave outstanding service. . Pub was busy and yet the atmosphere remained inviting and the service was impeccable. Making everyone feel welcome and thoroughly cared for, Abby and Amelia continued to shine. I would say that The Old Bank is a must-visit for anyone seeking a remarkable night out with stellar service and an extraordinary atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Lewis saved this date I was on. Great place, great staff and amazing food. Thanks again Lewis, now happily married with 3 kids.

Our server was so nice and friendly their name was G . Such good service and they made the experience so much better. Will be coming here again!

Food was delicious! G was a great waitress, really fun and easy to speak to and had great knowledge of the current menu.

Always come here for a wind down after work, never anything wrong with this place. The perfect spot for a chill and good time. Always my go to. Constantly recommend this place when others ask where to go for a drink :) 100/10

Lovely pub great atmosphere. Served by lewis was brilliant!!

Had a great meal at Old Bank. Our waitress G was very welcoming and gave us excellent service.

Great food and great value for money. All the staff were friendly and the waiting time were really good too. Can't fault our experience

Stopped and had a lovely lunch cooked by Izzy!

Came in for a drink, to watch the football. Drinks good value. Served by Gee who was very pleasant and helpful. There was a delay in getting the drinks and Gee was most apologetic and helpful. Good atmosphere.

This was my first time coming here and the general place was good but some of the staff looked like they’d rather be eating dirt than working, I was excited for the food there and me and my friends ordered quite a bit but we was quickly disappointed when it arrived, it was like eating something so dull and small you just couldn’t enjoy it, it was gone in two bites, some of the nachos were soggy like they were sat outside in the rain for hours and that was when they were bought straight out as-well, all the portions were tiny like it’s made for a child, how hard is it to put some cheese on nachos, there were no cheese! The burgers were fine but will definitely not be going back, don’t go if your looking for a place to eat!

Gee & Jess were so helpful and welcoming. We would return on the basis of the service they provided

Sound service Amelia was cool and made me experience so chill. Went to the beer garden, was such lovely weather and a chill atmosphere

Great bar with feature settings fab beer garden food good,friendly staff.

Popped in and had some lovely food made by Izzy

Was swerved by, max was really lovely and helped me with deals to save me money would recommend for both atmosphere and staff
