This is an elegant 17th century pub with gorgeous oak panelling, open fires and regular live music. Before it became a pub it was originally built as a family residence in 1471 and prides itself on the preservation of its history. Located on the edge of the city centre it's within easy reach of most of York's entertainment and nightlife. The numerous ghosts that are reputed to haunt this pub include a disappearing man, a woman in white who stares into the fireplace and a pair of legs that walk around the landlord's room. The menu is diverse and offers a number of hearty meals at reasonable prices. But for a quick bite, a hot steak baguette is about £4.50 and a cheeseburger with everything costs just over £4. There are many guest ales on offer and beer costs around £2 per pint.
