Brew York

Brew York brings a more modern, energetic flavour to the city, combining York brewing roots with a contemporary craft beer feel. Known for brewing a wide range of styles from its York sites, it has grown into one of the city's standout names for people who like their beer choice broad and their atmosphere lively. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while the humans sample the taps.

The overall feel is more taproom than old inn, with plenty of variety on the drinks side and a social, upbeat edge that works well for groups, casual meet-ups or an easy stop on a city break. The wide range of styles means there's something for most tastes, whether you're after something hoppy, dark or experimental.

It's a strong pick for anyone wanting York with hops, noise and a little more swagger, and the dog-friendly welcome means wet-weather plans stay simple when everyone can stay together inside.
