-The Black Swan Inn-
Review:
A short distance from the hustle and bustle of York centre The Black Swan Inn stands proudly on Peasholme Green an impressive 15th Century timber framed building. Within you can see 16th and 17th Century extensions making this pub a wonderful warren of beautifully panelled rooms, with low ceilings, beams and even in the back room a huge open fire that is frequently lit. If you really want the historic experience in York then The Black Swan Inn really is the perfect place for it. There are two rooms serviced with the main bar which has a good selection of real ales at average city centre prices and a cosy restaurant area too. Out the back they have a covered smoking area and a large summer patio, a car park might not be the best view in town but it’s a good sized outdoor area with loads of seating. The toilets are pretty small and of average condition. In regards to entertainment their large first floor rooms often play host to live bands, in fact myself and my partner met there in 2007 so we often return to the Black Swan and can vouch that its quality is never lacking. All round this is a wonderful pub offering plenty, easily accessible for a building of its age, stunning architecture and interiors, great beer and a friendly olde worlde atmosphere. Just watch out for the ghosts.
