York Nightlife
Having been the governing seat of the entire Roman Empire for two years, York certainly has the history and the heritage. The walls and remaining Roman buildings and roads also mean that it has the incredible beauty and places of interest to visit. Fortunately, York also claims to have one of the highest concentrations of pubs per square mile of any city in the UK and further claims to offer a different pub for every single day of the year. Food and drink are both very important parts of York’s culture and can be enjoyed in many venues across the city.
Micklegate
Micklegate has a massively high concentration of pubs and bars in a relatively small area and this has made it especially, and perhaps unsurprisingly, popular with the younger drinkers that live in or visit the city of York. The atmosphere is generally loud, vibrant, and very young and most pubs and bars in the area serve until 3am or later catering almost solely to the younger patrons.
Coney Street
Coney Street offers something of a mix between the young and loud Micklegate atmosphere and the upmarket and relaxed Goodramgate atmosphere. The more upmarket bars are frequented by a variety of ages but the evenings are generally quieter than those enjoyed in Micklegate. Some local style pubs can be found that serve proper beer as well as high quality food and a handful of modern bars also overlook the river with excellent night time views.
Goodramgate
Goodramgate is at the other end of the nightlife spectrum to Micklegate. Much more upmarket and expensive, Goodramgate also has a number of traditional pubs where you can by real ale and enjoy a quiet drink with a handful of friends. Some more exclusive bars can also be found in Goodramgate so you can get dressed up and head out to impress if that’s what you’re looking for.
A Pub For Every Day Of The Year
The number of pubs and bars in York is truly staggering and you are absolutely guaranteed to find something that will appeal to you and anybody else in your party. Stag and hen parties are very well catered for because of the wall to wall pubs that are offered in areas like Micklegate but if you want to dress up and enjoy a more relaxed drink then there’s something for you too. York is said to have a different pub for every single day of the year – perhaps there’s a challenge waiting to be taken on.
