Look out for LocAle!

Edinburgh Arms, York

Edinburgh Arms, York

The Edinburgh Arms, run by Dave and Lorraine for the last eleven years, is worth crossing the road to the Fishergate island for. A cellar refurbishment has allowed a second hand-pump to be installed and Dave is featuring beers supplied by the SIBA Direct Delivery Scheme, concentrating on local ones. He has had beers from Rooster’s and Leeds amongst others and when we visited on two separate occasions recently we enjoyed Daleside Bitter followed by Old Leg Over.

It’s a well-kept local, with plenty going on in its two rooms. Both have a pool table and darts board and the pub has no fewer than five darts teams and two dominoes teams. There’s a big screen for both Sky and Setanta sports, regular karaoke nights and occasional live music. There’s food every evening, including curry and chilli nights, as well as Sunday lunch-time, and reasonably-priced bed and breakfast accommodation.
