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.

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 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

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.

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.

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!

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!

I am an Arab, that had his id the security guard literally told me go away and he was eating while he is in his shift tonight and I was very friendly telling him please let me and my English friend in and I had my id and I am 23 years old. He literally told me go away before I take your eyes out with this spoon (that he was eating with) he and the other guard . I have never experienced this kind of racism. And both guards wanted to hit me with no reason whatsoever. And btw my family is in the Egyptian parliament and I’m not letting this go. I had every requirement to go in and I was treated miserably. That was pure racism ,very very pure. I have contacted the government and I’m gonna do my case and I’m not letting this go. Please support my situation by not going there, I’m a student in university of york and I was very happy on that day but it got ruined by them. And I keep questioning myself why would someone get treated that way what so ever is it because I am Arabian. Btw they had all the respect for me before they knew and all of this happend because I was defending my English friend.

Security was racist to us - threatened to poke my friend’s eye just because he is Arab. The security guy was treating my friend fine until he pulled his ID. It’s my first time experiencing such behaviour in York which is very unacceptable. The Old Bank should make sure such people are not employed there as it’s a place for people to enjoy their time and not experience racism.

I came into the pub to watch the England Euros last week and wanted to leave my feedback. A young lady with short pink hair and glasses in a long skirt (we sadly didnt get her name) served me and my friends all night and she was a delight! It was incredibly busy and the poor girl was clearly rushed off her feet but she was nonetheless happy and helpful, for how busy it was we didn't have to wait particularly long for our drinks, we had expected we would have had a bit of a wait as we were ordering on the app due to the bar being so busy but we were very impressed. we also witnessed an altercation between some drunk gentlemen and this young lady and she handled it outstandingly despite getting drinks poured all over her during the altercation and having numerous men shouting abuse at her, she carried on with her job and had bouncers downstairs promptly to handle the situation and apologised to tables around for the inconvenience on their evening, which I personally think was going above and beyond as the fault was evidently not hers. I myself have worked in hospitality for years and understand how stressful big events like the Euros can be and just wanted to pass on my feedback as I was so impressed with this lady, such a shame we didn't get her name, but we will definetly be back again soon!!

We came to the Old Bank last night, it was a lovely atmosphere and despite the staff being swept off their feet they were all really kind and helpful. The reason for it not to be 5 stars is we went with our blind friend (M) and the disabled toilets were out of order, which is a bit ridiculous as the next available toilets were all the way downstairs and as they are Male toilets, no one we were with could help him find his way in. A lovely staff member did check in a couple of times but this should not have happened as the Disabled toilets should be in working order especially in such a big establishment.

Clearly very discriminating as the bouncer on the door with the huge ego couldn't see past the fact we were Scottish it was clear this was the reason we were Turned away. Such a shame as all the bars we've been to have been great and welcoming. Shame on you for not being inviting. I watched let young woman in wearing bootleg joggers but that was absolutely fine.
