Two fantastic traditional pubs only 100 yards apart on the edge of the city centre.
Both serve a great range of real ales, have unspoilt interiors, friendly staff and packed with locals and visitors.
Tetleys in the Swan is magnificent and the Fred Trueman in the Slip a fantastic bitter.
Just beer (and wine) - no food

An ersatz, tatty pub but with an ever-changing selection of well-kept real ale to die for. The food is usually good as well and the helpings are generous.
At the foot of Lendal Bridge, a three-minute walk from the railway station.
The Maltings, Tanners Moat, York.
