Great atmosphere, nice cafes, lots going on!
Lovely little cafe bar in an intriguing building in a lovely spot in York centre. We went to watch a show by some York Uni students. Fab evening - something out of the ordinary!
Beautiful place to sit with a great little bar/cafe situated in it. Proprietor and staff very pleasant and a great place to watch the hoards of people on the other side of the river. On a sunny day a couple of weekends ago it was a perfect place to sit and watch the boats go by.
I didn't go in, just walked over the bridge and under. A great view of the river
