Review:
The Snickleway Inn is a very traditional styled pub situated on Goodramgate, York’s only example of a 15th Century Galleried Inn. Previously known as The House of Tudor and then The Anglers Arms, the letter of which can be seen inside. The Snickleway Inn takes its more recent name from the term coined by Mark W. Jones's 1983 book 'A Walk Around the Snickelways of York', a Snickelway being an amalgamation of Snicket (a North Yorkshire world for an Alley) and Alleyway. Note the alternative spelling to avoid any copyright issues, the word is pretty ingrained in the local vocabulary now.
The interior is adorned with breweriana and beautiful dark wood panelling and open brick. The galleried ceiling adding extra height and airiness to the main space which hosts the corner bar and it's pleasant array of well kept real ales and craft kegs, all of which are averagely priced. To the edges of the room are more cosy little nooks to relax in along with a couple of open fires and towards the back is another quaint room which leads out to the reasonably well kept toilets and a little walled yard area with some alfresco seating. The Snickleway Inn has a very inviting atmosphere despite it's history as one of the most haunted pubs in York and with frequent live music there's usually something to keep you entertained, even if that's people watching through the large windows out onto the hustle and bustle of Goodramgate. For a traditional Inn that's steeped in history and retains a lot of it's olde worlde charm without being tired or gentrified The Snickleway is a perfect example and well worth a visit.
