The Fossgate Social

The Fossgate Social is one of the best spots in the city for a good old-fashioned cup of coffee. A blend between a social club, a bar and an coffee shop, this is where one can enjoy a warm beverage in the company of friendly locals and tourists alike. Tucked away in the bustling foodie quarter of York, one is guaranteed a memorable coffee experience, topped with some light socializing at this coffee house. Along with its espresso and cappuccinos, the place is also known for its eclectic variety of cocktails.

Evil Eye

The front room of the Evil Eye has literally shelf after shelf of bottles of spirits, all set to make the many cocktails that are their specialty. Behind that is the main bar area, including a small internet café, and beyond the door is a small patio. Go upstairs and discover a first-floor room with two beds covered in cushions for real lazing and drinking, then up on the top floor is yet more seating and computers. The eclectic decor leans to the bohemian end of East Asian, in keeping with the Thai food served during the week. Sundays see more traditional roasts and Yorkshire puddings after noon, in very generous portions.

House of the Trembling Madness

Above the impressively-stocked bottle shop of the same name sits erstwhile medieval hall turned ale pub and foodie haven House of the Trembling Madness. Inside, parked on solid oak benches beneath old ship beams and mounted taxidermy, patrons pair beers, wines, ales, and ciders from across the globe with locally-sourced cheese and charcuterie platters. The iconic Yorkshire pub has no kitchen, but it offers some of the best food in town, available to guests during all operating hours. Beyond its wide selection of drinks and snacks, House of the Trembling Madness is a must-see for its quirky charm and time-warping ambiance.

The Habit

Named for an ancient building that used to house clergy from the Minster, it's easy to make The Habit your regular haunt. It’s a combination coffee shop/cafe/bar that manages the tricky job of being all things to all people, and also has plenty of live music. Besides gigs, there are also Sunday afternoon DJ sessions that pack the place and an open mic night every Wednesday evening for aspiring stars. The atmosphere is laid back, the food homemade and at a very good value. The bar is just one aspect of what makes the place special, rather than the prime focus.
