York Nightlife
York has its own brewery, which owns several pubs within York and these include the Last Drop Inn, 27 Colliergate. The Black Swan, Peasholme Green, is an atmospheric Tudor inn and has live music most evenings, with everything from jazz to ever-popular folk nights. York boasts a pub for every day of the year, and Ye Olde Starre Inn on Stonegate, is reputedly the city's oldest.
For grown-up sophistication and fabulous river views, head for The Living Room, 1 Bridge Street. Oscar's Wine Bar & Bistro, 8 Little Stonegate, has a cosier appeal: inside is candlelight and cellar-like crannies; outside is a courtyard with year-round heating. For some laid-back fun, head for Evil Eye Lounge, 24 Stonegate, with its louche, lamp-lit rooms, plus broad range of cocktails and (beware) absinthe.
York isn't renowned for a 'great' clubbing scene but for a late-night dance with a difference. However, Toffs, 3/5 Toft Green (website: www.toffsnightclub.co.uk), attracts big crowds on its student nights and boasts the latest in sound and lighting technology to entertain them. The Gallery, 12 Clifford Street, comes with two floors of music, several separate bars and a warm atmosphere. Ziggy's, 55 Micklegate, is more alternative - a 'club' within a period house with various kinds of indie music being a steady part of the entertainment.
