-Yates-
Review:
Now don’t get me wrong, during the days Yates’s is a reasonably pleasant venue with a wonderful riverside location and standard generic pub chain décor. It’s very cheap too and does a good selection of pub grub which with their spacious interior is great for a bit of lunch with the family. It’s just as evening approaches that the rough, rude and occasionally violet clientele begin to swarm in to buy buckets of crap cheap cocktails and swill generic larger. It’s this that really drags Yates down, especially with it being so visible on Ouse Bridge. With the chain's reputation it attracts lots of booze tourists, hen/stag parties and race-goers, not really the place you’d want to visit on a night out. There’s little reason to with regards to beer choice and quality. Although it’s on the riverside they don’t actually have any outdoor space at that side of the building either, just a large but pretty unattractive courtyard to the rear.
