Royal Oak 18 Goodramgate - York

I called here today when I walked the walls. the burger was very tasty, like the pommes. it is a four-star score because the burger was only warm, instead of hot. Maybe I'm picky, but there we are. but we were served by a beautiful dame who had a great knowledge of the history of the pub, the space we had eaten from the year 1432 and from york in general. a very beautiful pub

Beautiful authentic traditional pub, friendly staff, great live music, friendly locals. many beautiful small rooms to sit, real fire place.

We love this pub. the pub has 3 rooms in the ground floor with a coalfire each, so it is nice and sniff in winter, there is also a larger room in the upper floor. decor is beautiful. it is dog-friendly. the personal is always so friendly and welcoming. eating is nice, fresh and cooked to house, and very cheap, portions are also very generous. for all places they can go for eating in york, I recommend trying this place. we stumbled a few years ago randomly about it and every time we visit york this is where we go for dinner.

This is OUR local pub when we visit York. Right near our apartment. What we love is that there are lots of regular locals in...a sign of a good pub...some have been drinking here for 40+ years. The last time we went in for an afternoon quick half...lets just say it was 10 pints each later...fab afternoon and lovely customers both regulars and tourists. Lovely bar area...with open fire when it 's chilly...very quaint and always customers in to have great conversation with. Lovely lounge area too...and upstairs is where they serve the food. We had a Sunday lunch which was awesome with a massive fresh yorshire pudding. We have been in on quiz night which was great fun...and a few times when they have had live music...which is a great atmosphere and gets everyone singing along. The staff are so polite...always smiling and so helpful and friendly too. Proper old traditional pub...great staff...great place. We will be back.

We visited York for the weekend and visited quite a few pubs, this was our favourite! Proper old-skool boozer, great atmosphere with friendly staff. We visited in summer but the front bar has a fire which I bet is smashing in the winter!
