The Habit

The Habit in York is a café-bar set in a 16th-century building on Goodramgate, where dogs are welcome inside. It mixes historic beams and rooftop views of York Minster with craft drinks, live music and a warm, vibrant atmosphere that leans more lively than formal.

The venue works for coffee during the day or drinks with a bit more energy in the evening, and the rooftop offers one of the city's best Minster views. It has that rare knack of feeling both central and slightly tucked away, which always adds a little extra charm.

Dogs can join you inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while you enjoy the atmosphere. It's an easy choice for a York day out when you want historic character, good drinks and a dog-friendly welcome all in one spot.
