Fossgate Tap

Fossgate Tap brings a lively, sociable feel to one of York's best-known independent-food-and-drink streets, pairing craft beer, cocktails and cask ale with burgers from Slap & Pickle. Set in a Grade II listed building dating back to around 1796, it mixes historic York bones with a more upbeat bar-and-kitchen atmosphere spread across several floors. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle.

It works well for groups, easy catch-ups and casual city-centre drinks, especially if you want something modern and energetic without losing that old-York setting. The menu focuses on burgers, and the drinks list covers craft beer, cask ale and cocktails, making it a useful stop for food and drink together.

Whether you're exploring Fossgate or looking for a wet-weather refuge with good beer and a relaxed vibe, Fossgate Tap keeps paws and people together in a historic building with a contemporary edge.
