The Stone Roses Bar in York

love this bar! my favourite place in york. if you love indie music you’ll love it here!!

Great place and amazing atmosphere! Lovely staff very welcoming.

Wouldn’t let in someone on their own and don’t accept big groups. This was at 8pm…

Brilliant bar would 100% recommend! X

really fast service and great tunes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great afternoon, game of pool, relaxing, good music.

Great atmosphere and music. Loved it.

great service and friendly staff

Brilliant bar if you like good beer and good music! Haven't tried the food.

Great bar for a few jars. Good music and happy people.

Good vibe love the bar, staff put some of their own songs on the juke box rather than what we had paid for, but we love it here and always come back when we visit York.

Crackin bar, fantastic artwork and great music.

Great music - fab drinks - love the atmosphere

Best bar in York by far, loved by all ages plus great music

Absolutely fabulous. We will be back..

Love the place come here all time

Harriet the bar lady was absolutely amazing, so helpful & lovely! Definitely will be coming back!!

i love stone roses. the vibes are unmatched. yeahhhhhhhhhhhh 🤟

Great music, student friendly prices :)

If your after a bouncing bar with proper music, good drink, buzzing atmosphere then rock up here (if you can get in) for a proper night out.

As a solo traveller I visited the bar this afternoon and really enjoyed the experience although pretty empty… I’m a Roses fan so went back to the hotel then for a meal. Returned at 2130 to be turned away because it’s couples only I’m a man in my 50’s ffs. Come on the bars empty you need the custom. Great policy to go under . I won’t be back.

Brilliant service from Abby - she’s the best made sure we got all the deals that we could 🤩🤩

i find myself to be enthralled with this bar

Abi is the best barmaid I’ve ever met what an experience

first time in york, love indie and rock music and great atmosphere

Bloody great bar!! Love a green shit!! Lovely staff!! Come along for a good time

Twas the best night ever we knew every line now i cant remember

loved it!! best place to pre <3

Decent bar only thing is they don’t serve any food but thats ok good britpop bar you should visit.

Service with a smile. Great music and art work. Fantastic vibe. It's not where you're from. It's where you're at.

Amazing place great vibe love it

Such a brilliant place for any oasis, blur, stone roses fan you will love it! Atmosphere is unreal! Music blaring pints aren’t bad either

Definitely worth a shot if you’re a 90s babe or appreciate the music. Bar staff are lush & place has a great buzz

Great Tribute Bar but we definitely felt the oldest in there, very student age audience. We went on a Monday 6pm and it was quiet traditional Brit indie playing but by 9pm had a queue to get in and music was more modern we didn't know what was playing. Great place if you're 40+ go early is my advice. Pint and a single Rum and Coke just shy of £12

LOVE it here, came back every day of our visit, top tunes, friendly staff, deffo recommend and will be back

Best bar in york! Always lively with good music … recommend a green shit :)

i love stones <3333 callum is the best bartender (and tom)

Thr bouncer was very friendly and joked with me that i could show him my ID if I wanted. Young crowd, good music.

Great service, great music, great atmosphere!!!

What can I say. Good bar. Have always enjoyed the vibe.. Being a landlady myself and recruiting a number of doorstaff in the past I can honestly say tonight has been the worst experience. What I can only describe has the most racist door staff is probably an understatement. AGL security what a joke. Thank god there is a bigger better door team taking York by storm.

fantastic drink deals great venue just amazing

Had some drinks here with the family, best atmosphere of a bar I've ever seen

Great bar. Definitely recommend to friends and family.

Amazing, good drinks and atmosphere!!!

We visited York as a group of friends aged between 30-70. The door staff tried to act as intimidating as they could, insisting on a body search by one of the, let's say, vertically challenged door staff. He chose the biggest member of our group, a 34yo, 6'6" 23 stone man to search. As he refused, we were denied entry. Very disappointed in the reaction of staff to a group of friends on a birthday weekend trip 😕

Went for a fag for the 5th time then didnt let us back in? Couldnt even give us a reason why. Probably little man syndrome lol. Embarrassing- sorry you’re bald x

Good atmosphere, great music loved it

amazing, love it so much, my favourite bar in york

Brilliant place, spectacular atmosphere. Went there with a few mates at night and it was worth going twice in a row. Really brilliant place, could not insist more that you go there after hours, if visiting York. Don't know about the food, as I went after hours.

Best atmosphere and bar in York. No where else compares

Great atmosphere, great bar, friendly service - a must visit in York!!

Nice bar good atmosphere and friendly staff

It's a cool pub with some nice decor and paintings. Not a very nice guinness.

If student bars what you’re after here’s the place. Nicely decorated, good indie tunes

After reading some ropey reviews I was reluctant to enter, however my kids really wanted to go inside. Seeing bouncers on the door in the middle of the day was a bit off putting until they smiled at the kids and invited us in to have a look round and take some photos. Everyone inside was friendly. We had drinks and the kids had a bag of crisps each, we all loved it. I’d highly recommend it!

Turned away from this place at 2 pm because there was a group of us more than 5 visiting York and in particular this place as we have been here years ago . We are blokes in our 50s with our son's and friends. We are all massive music lovers and love the culture. To be turned away in the manner we did is absolutely disgusting and to think they trying to run a business. Oh well if you can afford to turn away genuine nice people crack on. I hope you fail miserably

Don't go near this place, you can't get in. The bounces are a disgrace

I was told I was too drunk to be allowed in and I wasn't drunk in the slightest.

Was excited to return here after the refurb only to be turned away because we were a group of more than 5. We also witnessed a single man get turned away because he was on his own. What’s that all about? So if you’re a typical roses or oasis fan with some mates you’ll probably get turned away. Also. Mentioning something like this on their Facebook page gets you blocked.

Walked up in a group and got turned away, for been too larger group, been before and had no problem, I don't understand why, will not be going again.

Poor security staff, not even let us in, supported this place previously but will definitely will give it a miss in future forsure..

Great place for drinks and great music

Get the signature "blue shit" drink, triple vodka without the taste of alcohol.

Only stopped for a quick drink but this place is more for the young team

The Stone Roses Bar in York is an absolute gem for music lovers! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with an amazing atmosphere—walls covered in iconic music memorabilia, dim lighting that sets the mood, and, most importantly, a playlist full of classic indie and rock anthems. If you love bands like Oasis, The Stone Roses, Arctic Monkeys, or The Smiths, this place is a dream come true. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always up for a chat, which makes the experience even better. The drinks are reasonably priced, and the whole vibe of the bar is laid-back yet full of energy at the same time. It’s the perfect spot whether you’re looking for a fun night out with friends or just want to enjoy some incredible music in a great setting. The crowd is always fantastic—everyone is there for the love of music, which creates such a cool and inclusive environment. The Stone Roses Bar has quickly become my go-to spot whenever I’m in York, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a bar with personality, character, and unbeatable tunes, this is the place to be! Will definitely be back again soon!

Amazing bar I love this place!!!!

Great place, fair prices (especially for students) and cool music!

This venue could have been so much better. We entered and it was busy and the vibe was good. We paid for the juke box but unfortunately they screened the songs. The same song came on by the same bands numerous times. While our songs went unplayed. The smell from all the ‘indie’ boys was disgusting (trumps) the light was too bright and the songs soon turned sour and the atmosphere boring. Don’t waste your money on songs as they will only play to their agenda

What an amazing place . Great staff great atmosphere lovely vibe. Bouncers friendly. Can't say enough about this place

Always brilliant music...Good atmosphere. Never eaten here tho

Me and mt boyfriend had a great time

Absolute fire. Best time of my life.

Love stone roses! So good! Jello shots are fire!

Fantastic bar, always a good vibe 👌🏼

Very different from your average pub/bar

Absolutely lovely bar, a must if in York

fab little place! excellent customer service, friendly welcome-great music.

callum what a guys you guys should never fire callum because he will make anyone feel welcome at the bar and no matter what he will serve a good time bless him callum is the guy

Good drinks and i love the music

Brilliant bar but the queue for the toilets it's insanely long for the women! I find it appalling that we have to wait over 45 minutes to use the toilet! There was two working toilets out of five which is insane! Appalling behaviour

Drinks are affordable and lovely

Absolutely lovely place great for a night out

Bouncers and managers on power trips. Saw them talk to several people terribly, horrible people and horrible atmosphere

Lovely bar. Always feel comfortable and Amazing drinks deals! Loveeeee

lovely cheap drinks and lots of deals for students & great music

Busy on a Saturday night, get down there early to avoid long queuing to get in. Great music and atmosphere. A lovely bar that is must visit in York.

Was refused entry because I'm wearing jogging bottoms, even though I explained i have recently had an operation and can't wear anything else. No where does it.state that there is a dress code. Was visiting from far away. There was literally a guy wearing joggers that just came out. Discrimination against a disabled person as I can't wear anything tight on my waist. AVOID. Got a reply and they didn't respond to the fact someone else who came out was wearing joggers. Again discrimination against people with disability .

1 star for the ‘substantial meal’ soup in covid - 5 stars for everything else - fantastic bar

lovely bar and great drinks. would highly recommend

Quality atmosphere. If you’re a fan of British Indie music then it’s top.

Fab place. It's like a nightclub for 50 year old but with seats! Music is awesome!

Absolutely love the place The atmosphere and memorabilia is brilliant A definitive must if you're an indie and britpop fan

Fun place. Nice music. Don’t be a bar squatter - they don’t like that.

Staff have been lovely and a great atmosphere

Fantastic environment and great staff

Good drink options, great music, top atmosphere.

Great bar with some classic tunes. Good drink selection.

Top place for a drink and to revel in some fine music

What a joke of a place, the manager asked the doorman to refuse my friend entry as he lost his footing on the wet cobbles outside and accused him of being drunk, thanks for attempting to ruin or Christmas works party. It didn't work, we went elsewhere and spent money enjoying ourselves. You should change your name to the Grinch Edit to 2024 xmas, as the above was from 2023 You won't believe this but we went to York this year again for our works Xmas do & thought we would try again to visit. You just can't make it up, we were refused entry as they said our group was bigger than 5 people as there were 8 of us. Honestly im so glad there are other pubs without ridiculous rules on numbers of people in our group

Great atmosphere and great experience
