The Snickleway Inn in York

Another pub in York charging over £8.00 for a pint and a half of lager. Dick Turpin was here.

Unreconstructed old school boozer with good selection of beers. I had the Ossett Yorkshire Blonde which was great and Clattering oatmeal stout also tried, also well kept and with a complex maltiness that delivers a great finish. Facilities were clean with hot water and liquid soap. The large front bar goes back into some snugs and access to a small garden.

Really nice classic pub environment, with a good range of beers on tap. No complaints

Been coming here when we visit the wonderful city of York probably about 10 years just like to sit and Watch the world go by, met up with my friend and her sisters were all from London just all happened to be in York at the same time thank you and cheers 🍻

It's one of my favourite pubs in York

Great pub bags of atmosphere. Looks about 400 years old. A favourite visit of ours in york. Reasonable prices A must pub to visit in york .

Went in on Sat night after a meal out and had the pleasure of watching the band who were brilliant. It's good to find a proper pub. Our gang of 6 loved it plus great beer and wines thank you.

Love this place...most recently went to see trimmed down lineups of Pog and Blyth Power atthe last night if the Tory party! Compact and bijou! Live music here frequently...Great, it feels very personal as you can't help but be next to the band! Good beer selection too. I'd you like your music and beer get yourself over one night.

Beer a bit average and toilets were foul

Great open mic night on Tuesdays, brilliant atmosphere

Great traditional pub. Glad to have found it.

Very quirky little pub, tiny beer garden out back which traps the sun. Clean, sold Black rooster which was very nice. Didn’t eat there so I can’t rate that (though there are peanuts etc on sale which are stored in large jars so points for hygiene.

We stopped here for a couple of drinks. Great atmosphere, as all of the old pubs around York. We loved the history in the building. Would come here again!

Great old fashioned pub. Nice pint

Fab pub. Brilliant live music. Definitely worth a visit.

Favourite place for a guest beer in York, that lets children and grumpy older sisters in, always a decent choice of Yorkshire, and further afield, brews, usually a darker stout or porter, that I prefer. Landlady and landlord are friendly, and will chat when it's quiet, staff are quick and friendly also. Pork pies are worth going in for.

Right nice old fashioned pub .....

Came to watch the open mic night on our trip to York. Lovely atmosphere in the historic building. Very friendly locals in the pub who were happy to chat and some great performers too we had a fun evening.

Excellent pub great atmosphere and a lovely pint of Guinness

Proper york pub with good beer and not just poncy pale ales and lager Not packed out with tourists but busy enough.

First time I've been here very impressed

Amazing little pub the girl serving was brilliant a credit to the business very nice and helpful.loads of character very old pub it was a pleasure to have few drinks there I would say possibly the best pub in York City

The Snickelway Inn is a fine, traditional pub. The decor is decidedly old-style, and with the predominance of dark wood, can initially seem a bit gloomy, but is actually quite cosy. The service was good, as were our beers.

Nice cosy pub with a great range of ales.

Brilliant night had a dance so it's always a good night when you have a dance..💃.

Quiet pub where you can hide with your Racing Post and a pint on a Saturday watching the racing on telly while the Mrs goes clothes shopping

Love this place. If you want a traditional style pub with lots of character then please visit, you will enjoy every pint 👍👍🍺

Beer, sausage rolls, warm seats, beer, music, and tons of character! Here, here!

Super little pub on Goodramgate, York. Real ales served. Polite staff. Once known as the 'Anglers Arms'.

It's a great pub with lots of character. The owners support local music and are a true fixture in the city.

Really nice place. Warm and welcoming.

Cosy, traditional old pub with music and good beer.

Good place for a quick pint. Bit crowded.

Great pub with a great atmosphere and good selection of drinks

Didn't eat. But was a nice place to have a pleasant drink. Good atmosphere Good prices. Friendly staff

I met my wife here in 2003 the clocks still wrong, we love the open mic on Tuesdays and there's music Friday Saturday and Sunday too

Lovely warm pub with very good prices considering the pub is in the city centre. Good music, good beer and brilliant atmosphere

Nice bar, band playing, good beer.

Proper old school pub with good beers.

Only stopped by to hear Bruce do his Stint. Love the singing Bruce. Loved it last night too x

Great place for a quick drink and it is meant to be haunted

Great traditional city centre pub with well kept beers and one of the best pints of Guinness in town.

The wife and I call in a lot when in town. Good beer for me nice wine for the wife. Staff always friendly and welcoming.

Great little pub with live music

Good atmosphere with love music playing on (some?) evenings. Friendly staff, good selection of drinks and decent seating, if a little difficult to seat many near the music playing.

Historic pub good selection of beers friendly staff carnt make a comment on the food as never ate there but enjoyed our visit

A lovely real ale pub, not a bad selection of hand pulled, afternoon was relaxed atmosphere definitely worth a look..

Love this pub particularly as it serves Theakstons Best and often has live music. Only downside is that it is the busiest on the Goodramgate excellent pub opportunities!

A good pub and well worth a visit to good beer and atmosphere

Great trad pub with a few real ales. The picture in Google is wrong.

Excellent little pub very friendly staff

Nice pub with a great atmosphere but the “dog friendly pub“ has rules. Always on a lead and not on the furniture! Don’t mind the rules but didn’t see them and was informed in a very curt and unfriendly way so didn’t stay for a second drink.

Great location allowing you to watch the world go by whiles enjoying a drink in great atmosphere. Good choice of cask ales, plus lagers & ciders. Music they play is also fantastic, they also have live music on a number of day of the week. We also enjoyed the pork pies, Worth a visit. Enjoy

Great atmosphere all over the Christmas stay, Music and chat with no hassle at all. Plenty of choice of ales and ciders

Great pub, good beer amazing music and really friendly.

Good old fashioned Haunted boozer👍 good choice of ales. Live music and friendly staff and locals

Wide variety of beer, fruit cider. What makes it better than most is the friendliness of the barstaff and the regular customers. Always a laugh to be had as well as a good pint!!

Lovely old pub. Great atmosphere, great ales

Was not sure about this place to be fair but was given a warm welcome on what turned out to be a busy night in York. the main group were good and the people going up for open mic were very entertaining. really gutted I had to leave before closing time.

Another 15th century pub retaining its originality. Quite a small main bar with a couple of snugs and a tiny beer garden. Some great real ales. We remember that back in the 80's it was The Anglers Arms with blown glass fish on the front window sill. Reputedly the most haunted pub with 5 ghosts. You probably won't see them but well worth a visit.

Before starting an eight days holiday in Prague my twin brother Stephen and I decided to have a weeks holiday in the famous Roman walled city of York visiting the great pubs this city has to offer and visiting the wonderful site's ,at the top of our list of pubs to visit was The Snickleway Inn ,not only one of the oldest pubs in York but also the most haunted with at least five resident ghosts propping up the bar. A pub dating from the 15th century the interior is superb ,a cramped interior with an ancient looking serving bar ,there's a couple of snug rooms which are very cosy and dispite it's relatively small size there's plenty of seating options spread throughout their pub both inside and outside in their cute little beer garden,it's just a great pub to unwind in. We were here on a Thursday afternoon ,we were greeted warmly by the barman ,a quick study of their real ale selection and we both opted to have pale ale's from Bradfield Brewery ,these were served in excellent condition ,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 ,hoppy ,a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a slight bitter finish to it,it was just so good being in such a great pub and enjoying a quality pale ale. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here ,only stayed for the one each before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Snickleway Inn is easy to locate along Goodramgate. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,open from midday. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

The Snickleway Inn is an unbelievable pub with a superb range of beers and is one of my favourite pubs in York.The Snickleway Inn is an ancient pub and is housed in a superb 15th century building in Goodramgate where there are some superb pubs and is reputably one of the most haunted pubs in York and any other city you'd visit. With many original fixtures and features with oak beams with woodwork immaculately kept this is a very haunted pub with at least five resident ghosts and according to Thevlate Derek Acorah the most haunted Inn in York. The Snickleway Inn has had a few names over the years such as the House of Tudor and then it was called the Angler's Arm's and then it changed it's name to the Snickleway Inn in 1994. I love visiting this pub as its a joy to go to one of the only 15th century galleried inn's in York and is very atmospheric. When we visited we had already been to a few of the historic pubs on Goodramgate and went in here for a few pints.When here we sat in the main bar area were the Angler's Arm's name is displayed over the bar area.When here we ordered a few cask ales from the Bradfield brewery which where superb and well priced. The Snickleway Inn is a superb pub and not to be missed as it's very historic and was one of the highlights on our trip to York.(This is my second review of the Snickleway Inn). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-12.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-12.00-00.00. Sunday-12.00-00.00.

Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best pubs in York is The Snickleway Inn ,a fab pub with a great history. Housed in a 15th century building ,the interior is superb ,nice decor and furnishings, a cool looking serving bar,little snug rooms ,many original features, above the bar is a pub name The Angler's Arms ,this alludes to the previous name of this pub ,it was also once called The House Of Tudor Pub ,its one of York's most haunted pubs with at least five resident ghosts ,its just one awesome pub. We were here on a Tuesday afternoon, we ordered a Theakston Brewery " best bitter " , these were served in excellent condition, we just kicked back and took in the great pub we were in. My bitter was exceptional, a smooth, cold bitter ,a malty finish, very refreshing on a hot afternoon, a totally tasty brew. We both really enjoyed our bitters in here before we moved on and as on every other visit to The Snickleway Pub we had a very positive experience. The Snickleway Pub is easy to locate along Goodramgate. Opening hours are; Monday to Wednesday, Midday till 11pm. Thursday to Saturday, Midday till Midnight. Sunday, Midday till 11pm. A wonderful pub,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning to visit York.

We called in here for a few drinks while having a day out in York. This place is supposedly York's most haunted pub although the only spirits we saw were behind the bar. A good old pub with friendly staff and a great choice of drinks. We will definitely be back!

cozy little place to hid from the rain and have a few nice pints. there was music on, great surprise

The Snickleway Inn is a great pub that on any holiday I take to this most beautiful of city's I always make a point of visiting. This is one of York's best pubs ,the interior is awesome, multi roomed with great decor and furnishings including a superb looking serving bar. This is a pub of great age and as you wood expect from a pub of this age its haunted by lots of ghosts ,its been described as one of the top 100 haunted pubs in England, it's most famous ghost is Marmaduke Buckle,a ghost described as a ghost of great age and intelligence but surrounded by evil, its often seen at the top window ,theres also a ghost in the cellar that messes around the draught pressure taps that supply the beers to the bar area. My twin brother Stephen and I were here on a Saturday afternoon, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff, after a quick study of the real ales on offer my brother and I opted to have Purity Brewing Co " amber pale ale " these were served in excellent condition, we just kicked back,chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My pale ale was outstanding, a crisp and well balanced pale ale with a big hit of hops ,very tasty ,very easy to drink,a pale ale style I really enjoy. As we were pub hopping around this part of York we only stayed for the one ale each before we moved on and as on every other visit to The Snickleway we had a great time. The Snickleway Inn is easy to locate along Goodmangate ,a street and area teeming with pubs,bars and restaurants. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday, Midday till 11pm. Friday to Sunday, Midday till Midnight. A great pub,one I highly recommend you visit if your in the area.

The interior of the pub does not match the picture shown. The walls are painted black and I found it depressing. They have live music which is not a place to visit if you want to talk.

Found this after our visit to The Minster as in need of some refreshment. Quiet location with a cute mini garden area at the rear of the pub. A real suntrap when the sun shines. Very friendly local.

Stopped off for a beer and decided to have a pork pie with black pudding. Excellent choice of snack. Very friendly staff, excellent service, good beer and great food. Highly recommended.

Ce pub bien typique nous a offert un petit havre de paix alors que tous les autres étaient bondés de supporters de foot captivés par les écrans. Un accueil souriant, une belle sélection de bières (et cidre !) en pression, un cadre rustique et chaleureux… Exactement ce dont nous avions besoin avant de repartir arpenter les rues de cette magnifique ville.

Whenever we visit York we make a point of calling in here. There's always a warm welcome with great well kept beers and a friendly atmosphere. Throrughly recommend if you like "real" pubs...

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and had a few perfect prints of porter! Traditional pub with friendly staff and pub games such as dominos

Llegamos a York bastante tarde el jueves por la noche, y decidimos dar un paseo y tomar una copa antes de regresar a nuestro hotel.No hay muchos lugares abiertos después de las 11 de la semana por lo que parece, este lugar era, así que entramos.Es un típico pub peculiar a la antigua.Las bebidas se compraron rápidamente y, por suerte, un poco más tarde, encontramos un asiento cerca del fuego:)Había un cantante en vivo, y para variar, mientras que usted podía escucharla fácilmente (ella era muy buena), no era tan fuerte que no pudiera oír nada más.Solo tuvimos una bebida, pero nos gustó tanto que decidimos que sería "nuestro" pub por el tiempo que durara nuestra estadía.Regresamos el viernes por la noche, de nuevo un cantante y una guitarra en vivo, gran ambiente, cantamos una canción y tomamos algunas bebidas más.Probamos algunos otros pubs y bares, pero para nosotros este fue el mejor:)

This is a fairly typical pub for York but non the worse for that. Reasonably atmospheric and sound service. Our drinks were all fine and not too expensive. Well worth dropping in but nothing out of the ordinary.

This ancient pub claims to be the most haunted in York. It is certainly the haunt of music fans as the regular live performers there bring in the crowds. There are many quirky corners and niches around the interior to gather and the service is brisk.

We had two local different beers from York. Also there is the legend that is haunted. Good place to chillo it and at nights sometimes the have alive bands !

We had such good fun. There was a great live band, brilliant service considering how busy it was. All round good craic. If we’re back in York we’ll definitely go again. You must too!

We always call in to this pub when in York for a pint of real ale which we know will be good. Well run with a great choice of ales and very pleasant service. A must visit for the real ale fan!

On any trip to York I always make time to drop into the Snickleway Inn as it's a superb locals pub serving great real ales by staff who are really friendly and very knowledgeable about the beers they serve.

I've been drinking here since it was the Anglers Arms and it's in the top five in York. A good range of beers for its size and always in excellent condition. Small and lively but you can usually find space. More locals than tourists.

From the ales to the atmosphere and the odd reggae night it's one of my faves in the country. Beers kept well, friendly staff. Everything you need in a great local

Popped in for a drink. The barman was very friendly and welcoming and we got to sample a few of the ales. He was very knowledgeable about his drinks. We found a lovely snug corner and stayed for a couple more!

Went in here three times over two days, nice staff, friendly atmosphere where locals and tourists mix without issue, great beers, a proper pub, too few of them around. I will definitely go back next time I'm in York.

A friendly, traditional pub with decent cask ales, pleasant service, and a historic interior. Recommended.

started our pub crawl here and met with a few locals who were friendly and advised us of where to go next. definately recommend.

Otro pub histórico en el centro de York, con su ambiente relajado, acogedor, fresco y oscuro. En pleno centro de la ciudad.

Popped in for a pint and a foot rest. Meant to be haunted but unfortunately the only spirit we encountered was vodka. However, the service was polite and the building was interesting. Next time I hope to stay longer and meet the ghost. Great place for a rest.

Nipped in for a drink whilst visiting York and ended up having a few as the pub is small and has character.Good choice of ales and worth a visit.

We visit the Snickleway Inn each time we stay in York. The pub is small but has character and always serves a lovely pint. Would recommed a visit.

My son lives in York so we visit frequently. I've been visiting this lovely quirky pub for years. Great beer in a traditional surrounding. Highly recommended.

I can highly recommend the Snickleway for anyone wanting a quick drink or for anyone wanting to sit and chat over a few more! A great old pub nestled in the centre of York only 5 minutes from York Minster. Great beer well looked after and a warm welcome. Saturday night has live music.

Took our 4 year old Grandson for a walk round the Bar Walls, he declared he was hungry, we called into the Snickleway & ordered a sandwich, my Grandson was over the moon when he saw his. The sandwiches are doorstep, freshly made and are accompanied with side salad and crisps, they are very filling and worth every penny. A must if you are visiting or living in York.

A great pub, beer is kept very well. It's a quintessential York pub. Good beer with lots of little nooks and crannys to have quiet seat alone or have a beer with friends. Well worth a visit.

This pub is oozing with ancient charm and almost like an urban folk museum inside, It has ambience and bonhomie, regular live music and a regular passing trade,situated as it is half way along a major city thoroughfare. Its main drawback is that it can quickly become overcrowded and cramped, another is that although the acts there can be very good there is no raised stage or dais so they are squeezed in a corner of the bar where visibility is far from ideal. Beer and lager are good and the staff friendly. At weekends it can suffer from the ravages of the pub crawlers but repays an interested speculative visit. Do try it.

great old pub, very quirky inside just what you want in a pub in an old english city, great staff, good beers on and nice czech beers in the fridge, a lovely place to include on your beery tour of yorks pubs, give it a go you'll be pleased you did.

Whenever I visit York this is my go to favourite pub!! Always an excellent selection of ales and very knowledgeable staff! A cheeky taster is never a problem (even if you try them all). They always have a good selection of bag in box ciders amongst other drinks! The atmosphere is always very friendly and pleasant! If you intend to visit on a night with music get there early and grab a seat this little gem soon fills up! One of only a few proper pubs left in this beautiful city, visit, drink, chat, enjoy!

I haven't eaten a meal in here, but I have enjoyed there pork pies and pickle, which together with an excellent pint is what I go in there for. Even if you don't like pork pies, or enjoy a pint, it's still worth going into the pub to experience an olde worlde tavern. I always try to get in there at least once on my visits to York. They have different guest beers, and on my last visit they were serving an excellent Theakston's Old Peculiar.
