What Derek Bicknell doesn't like about Pivni:
7 of us (Between the ages of 56 and 65) 'tried ' to enter, early Sat evening. We had previously been asked to leave the pub opposite 'Valhalla ' because there weren 't any seats, and we did without issue. However the Doorman at the Valhalla had, for some unexplained reason, contacted the door staff at the Pivni to refuse us entry! With a total lack of any communication and having done nothing at all to warrant this t... View all feedback. What MADDOGLEP likes about Pivni:
I remember first coming here just after it opened. Had to laugh when a guy just asked if it was one of the oldest pubs in York. I'm old but not hundreds of years old. The building however is impressive and stretches over three floors. Boothroyd and Madge sat with me downstairs while the boss went M S shopping. A lovely timber framed building.

On the pricier side but great drink selection and great atmosphere

Valhalla in York received mixed reviews, with some customers feeling unwelcome due to the behavior of security staff. Others enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and great selection of beers, especially the Belgian options. The bar staff were praised for their friendliness and knowledge of the beers on tap. The building is old with steep stairs, but the seating is spread across three floors. Overall, the experience at Valhalla seems to vary depending on individual encounters with staff and the atmosphere on any given day.
