Great viking themed bar over 3 floors (although top floor is a function room and toilets). Sometimes has live music on. Nice beer and interesting meads.

Went there 9 12 24 £ 17 for 1 and a half pints extortion, I would have left drinks on the bar but unfortunately the wife went for the drinks if the very smug barman had said the price of the half pint she would have chosen something else. It’s no good stating the price list is on the wall you can’t read it properly without stretching over couples at the table. Other than that was good . Suggest bar staff let customers know the price before serving .

A fantastic venue in York with great music. We had a selection of beers and meads, each one was great. We ended the evening with food - the Ragnarok sharing platter. It was wonderful - the ribs were especially spectacular, they fell off the bone. The only (minor) complaint would be more halloumi fries and that's from a dedicated meat eater!!!

Viking-themed pub in the heart of York, with aptly named beers and meads. Cozy enough, one really needs to take the decor with a good pinch of irony, but it makes for a good pit stop while exploring.

Valhalla in York is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique dining experience. This cozy, rustic spot embraces a Viking theme and serves up a range of ales, mead, and hearty meat and cheese boards. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere, with its multi-level layout adding to the charm and giving you plenty to explore. It’s kind of like a tapas place but with a Norse twist. We tried The Odin plate, and it was absolutely delicious—packed with flavorful selections that felt true to the theme. The quality of the food and drink was top-notch, and it made for a memorable meal. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit to find a free table, but it was well worth it once we were seated. If you’re in York and looking for something different, Valhalla is the perfect place for great food, drinks, and atmosphere with a fun, Viking vibe.

You know what kind of place Valhalla is (if the name itself isn't enough) when you enter the hallowed walls. Across the threshold you step over the bones and weapons of a fallen Viking, now dining in the great hall with his fellow warriors. Seriously though, Valhalla bar is all about the ambience. It's dark, it's cozy, it's heavy metal. This place is beyond cool, and it would easily be my local if lived in York. My wife and I had dinner here in September 2024. We dined upstairs in the great hall, but there were a few little side areas that looked cool as well. We shared one of the larger charcuterie boards and several glasses of mead. The food was exquisite. There was a boutique Sheffield cheddar that was 'oh my god' good. The mead was delicious; spicy, sweet, fruity. The bar is small, but with lots of choice. Service was quick and friendly on a lightly busy weekday night. I loved York, it's a fantastic city. Can't wait to return, and to drink mead in Valhalla again.

Maybe I got my hopes up too much? I’m not sure... The place is nice and has a good atmosphere, but the food was just alright. The cheese board I ordered felt a bit overpriced compared to others I’ve had for the same price. Maybe I just had high expectations for this visit, but it didn’t really wow me. That said, it’s definitely a unique spot in York and worth a visit!

Quirky place, which is obviously trying to give the viking feel to it. Didn't have any food here as we'd already eaten. The music is rock type, which I don't mind. It is very dark and sultry inside, with lots of little rooms. Big wooden tables in some areas with viking type murals on the wall, etc. Reasonable selection of beers and certain spirit, this is not a wine bar, though. Made a change from the usual pubs. I'm not sure I'll rush back, but it's a good experience in York. I can imagine it's good with a larger group. Again, toilets are tiny, but again, they are reasonably clean, which was nice. The bar on the floor we were at ran out of the only fruit cider on tap. But york was very busy this day.

After reading some of the poor, but funny reviews by what can only be described as idiots who don't understand licencing laws and manners, I decided to leave a gleaming review (I was going to anyway). So, here goes. Wife and I who are huge viking fans and fellow pagans went here, naturally, and immediately fell in love with the decor as it reminded us of our viking wedding and festival attendances. It's small and cosy but given the age of the building, it really isn't a problem. It's how it would have been. However, plenty of room in the next 2 floors with exquisite decorations and homely surroundings. We were hungry.... so ordered the ragnorok.. the dish to end the gods of hunger raging in our bellies! Ironically even acting as fenrir and eating odin wouldn't be enough. It was big. Lovely perfectly cooked meats, the paprika fries, pork, chicken, meatballs, everything. Wonderful! The mead... now... I have to say as a meadmaker myself, sampling them was a joy as they taste like mine! A compliment of huge proportions, or huge reassurances, take it what way you wish but they were lovely. People may be put off the price but for what you get and the process involved, worth it... every drop. Don't waste mead! The staff were brilliant and were true valkaries of food and booze. Felt like I was on the great hall! Highly recommended even if you are, or are not, a viking loving norse adoring hungry pagan. Management, don't listen to the obviously moronic people who don't know UK licence laws. Keep it up, stay great, stay (bi)frosty, and... a huge great big... SKÅLLLLLL!!!!

Awesome atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful from the moment you walk through the door. Downstairs appears small until you realize there are multiple floors for seating and it's actually huge! Decor is incredible and we loved the limited lighting, created a really warm and cozy effect (however a family were ruining the vibe a bit upstairs by having their flashlights kept on on their phones). We didn't eat on this occasion as we had booked for dinner elsewhere but we saw some incredible platters come out! Our drinks were lovely and we'd love to return.

I recently visited this bar and encountered a very rude staff member that completely ruined our experience. From the moment we walked in, his attitude was disgusting. Instead of a warm welcome, we were met with awkwardness and outright rudeness. He snapped at us when we asked a simple question and seemed annoyed throughout our visit. It was surprising how someone in customer service could be so unprofessional and dismissive. The atmosphere could have been enjoyable, but his behavior overshadowed everything. I won’t be returning, as kindness and respect should be a priority in any establishment.
