House Of Trembling Madness in York

One of the best pubs in York hands down. Every time I'm in the city I go. Incredible selection of keg and cask beer. Probably the best selection of bar snacks I've seen with flavoured olives, nuts and pork scratchings. The food specials are to die for if you get there before they sell out and if not the platters are enormous! Plus if you want something different beer wise just go to the bottle shop downstairs and bring it up (one of the original and best bottle shops in England)

Tiny medieval pub upstairs from the best offy ever. Really nice place to come for a pint and friendly staff who'll chew your ear off.Actually, I have to edit my review as I've been thinking about this. It's great. We have a staff who are obviously from different backgrounds and different places, but they all seem to get on like clockwork and will make sure you get your drinks quickly as well as being happy to answer any questions you have.On the other hand, we have people from eighteen to eighty all sat there loving the place without a second thought. From the stag do (well behaved as well!) To the octogenarian lady with her family who had some cheeky remarks and a boss smile. All there and all in between. This pub is incredible and if you can get in there then for the love of Odin then do. It's so good.

This is a bit of Hike up flights of stairs but worth the effort. Its not a massive room and can get quite busy. Ales to choose from on a board which is constantly updated. Plenty to look at on the walls, great staff who were very patient. We did not eat here but the food coming out looked excellent.As far as we could see it was being preped behind the bar in the smallest 'kitchen' area I have ever seen. But it was all done without fuss.Its got to be worth a visit by everyone - Just give it a go, take it all in and leave trembling

My friends had told me about this place and I recommended it to my wife who visited York on a "shopping" trip 🤔 with her friend 5 years ago.She loved it and promised to bring me here.I was not disappointed and the friendly service, the decor, the views of the Minster and the general buzz of the place really was to my liking.We stayed for a couple of drinks but there was a constant flow of people coming and going that showed how popular the place was.We had not long had brunch and regretted it as the food that came to the tables next to us looked really great (the pies especially would have fed a regiment).All in all I think this was the best hostelry we visited during our weekend break in York.

Great pub above a shop with biggest variety of beer I've ever seen. We didn't eat here, but wished we had as the food looked great. Beer selection brilliant and well kept. Full of character. We will definitely be back.

Gem of a pub upstairs from the well stocked off licience with an extensive drinks selection. Including some excellent Belgian beers. The food is homemade and very tasty and filling.

Lovely but small pub upstairs, set in a lovely old building. Most people seem to only stop off for a swift half so tables become available quite readily. And with a mind blowingly excellent shop downstairs!

We went to buy some drinks there but to our surprise, it had a pub upstairs.Perfect for chilling out, great choices for beer and ciders.Staff is friendly and fun.

At first glance this place looks just like an off licence/bottle shop but when you go inside and go upstairs you discover the most amazing bar.The staff were brilliant and helpful with suggestions and knowledge about the beer on tap. The food is superb, and even more amazing considering the absolutely Tony kitchen space they have.All the beers we had were in brilliant condition and really enjoyable

Excellent bar that also serves good food to keep you going. The bar is upstairs from the shop which houses a large selection of beers and other alcohol (whisky, him, rum etc.). You can purchase from the huge array in the shop and for a small charge drink the beers you bought upstairs at the bar. More than enough to keep any beer fanatic happy 🍻 There is some limited seating outside and be aware that it's a popular place so you may find the seating upstairs already taken.
