    I mean the beers here are incredible as I'm sure you know. We did the brewery tour and while there is not much to see, 4 thirds and a very entertaining tour guide in James for £10 is astounding value. The beer hall hosts about 30 taps with everything on offer plus some amazing on site street food of Korean noodles and katsu curry. If you're in York and like beer do not miss this place.

    To be honest my partner and I were only there for a quick bite to eat. We didn't sample the brews. The food was alright. Nothing special. The service was non existent. The atmosphere was good and laid back. The decor was fun. Nothing to shout about but I didn't leave angry about it either. 🤷‍♀️

    Wonderful location. Spacious beer hall upstairs serving well over 10 lines of beers. Korean street food vendor that smelt amazing (sadly didn’t get to try). The downstairs tap room is spacious and has more cask lines with and outside space overlooking the river

    Fantastic brewery tour on Saturday afternoon - James (Jamie ?) the bar manager was a fantastic guide. The sample beers were excellent - we even had a couple more from the bar afterwards. Great atmosphere and the food looked delicious as it went past (wish we’d have had some) Definitely recommended and great value at just £10 for the tour and 4 sample ales

    Had to track this down. Very good selection of beers as expected. Very good tap room that is rustic in places but on the whole very comfortable and inviting. Over 30 taps of Brew York and guest beers. Juice Forsyth on draught is superb. Then we have Yuzu street food to compliment it. The Gyoza’s and the boa buns are out of this world. For me this is York’s hidden gem.

    Absolutely loved it here, but wish I could have stayed longer and wasn't driving. Tried three new beers, Moo Tang Clan, Bruce Campbell v The Army of Dankness and The Fairytale of Brew York 2022. All were amazing and actually complimented each other really well together, only had a few mouthfuls of each though. Didn't get the chance to try the street food as we had just eaten but it looked like something I will definitely try next time. Oriental/Japanese Street food sounded and smelled great. On the way out I went via the little shop and bought some cans but unfortunately the t-shirt I wanted was sold out in my size. First time here and really enjoyed my quick visit, next time I will be staying much longer and definitely trying more beers.

    What a brilliant Brewery. There is a huge selection of different ales,cocktails wines,ciders and more. I've been to plenty of breweries before and this one is at the top of the list. There is plenty of seating and the atmosphere was great. You can get food here too we didn't have any but it looked popular going on the amount coming out the kitchen. The barman was helpful and polite i had a paddle so he recommended some ales to try. I definitely advise paying a visit to any one who likes a drink with a bit of atmosphere.

    It is a unique Brewery experience! I have done the beer tasting and the brewery tour and it was totally a fantastic experience. I would encourage to have a microphone when conducting the tour but besides it an unforgettable visit!

    "Move over, regular life – Brew in York is here to introduce your taste buds to a craft beer carnival! This place isn't just a pub; it's a playground for anyone who believes that hops and dreams are the key to a good time. Walking into Brew in York is like stumbling upon a treasure chest of liquid gold. They've got more craft beer options than there are stars in the night sky – and believe me, tasting their creations is a journey to the galaxy of flavor. It's like they hired a beer whisperer to handpick each brew, ensuring that every sip is a cosmic experience. The staff here are the beer version of sommeliers, armed with knowledge that would make textbooks jealous. They're like the Gandalfs of the beer world, guiding you through a menu that reads like a magical incantation of hops and barley. They'll help you find your beer soulmate faster than a love guru armed with a pint glass. And let's talk ambiance. Brew in York has nailed the art of creating an atmosphere that's cozy enough to make you want to stay forever, but lively enough to keep your senses tingling. It's the kind of place where you can swap stories with friends, discuss the meaning of life, and probably solve world mysteries – all while nursing a pint of their liquid wizardry. So, if you're ready to embark on a beer adventure that'll make you rethink your beverage choices, Brew in York is your enchanted destination. It's not just a pub; it's a portal to hoppy happiness, where every sip is a step closer to unlocking the secrets of the universe – or at least the mysteries of a darn good brew."

    Popped in here with son in law whilst girls went shopping. Great place, loved sitting amongst the stainless Steel brewing vessels, plenty of beers to chose from and loved the time travelling taxi. It was a dismal rainy day outside but inside was warm with the infrared gas heaters.. a truly urban raw feel... loved it. The brewery tour is a superb value for money as I read but not on today so shall book next time...

    Amazing tasty food and beer! Love the 1950s(?) warehouse building which in another city would have been demolished for flats long ago. Great atmosphere despite its size and bare walls.

    Absolute gem of a place to drink and eat. Pretty good value and the beers and food were great too. It's dog friendly too which makes it all the better. Also the staff were super friendly as well, offering our dog treats when we arrived. We were recommended this place by the guy in Little Blondie bakehouse just up the road. All the pubs were packed and we had a golden retriever with us so had trouble finding anywhere to go with him.

    We went on a Friday night so was fairly buzzing. We found a spot in the corner and ordered food using the qr code. Between the 2 of us we ordered a katsu curry, 4 jumbo wings and a serve of fries to share. It was busy so food took about 45 mins, and when the food came the fries were cold. Really the should have served the fried when they first came up (would have made the 45 mins go faster too) or not put the fries in the fryer until the wings were going in.

    Great, buzzy venue. Loads of beer choices. Industrial decor as befits the building. Tasty food (beware the Jumbo Wings are.. Jumbo). A bit cold on our visit, as most places are these days.

    Such an extensive beer choice at this Verified Venue it’s advisable to do your homework on the Untappd Beer App beforehand. First time I’ve eaten from Yuzo Street Food - the scran is marvellous and compliments the beers.

    This place does absolutely stunning beers! Finally a brewing company who understands about mixing beers. I'm in beer heaven here and you can purchase same to take away too 🙌 🍻 🍺

  • 5/5 Ben A. 11 months ago on Google
    An excellent taproom. Plenty of space, vast selection of beers in keg and cask in just about any style you could ask for. Friendly staff, plenty of fridges for your takeaway beers but the real gem here is that there’s food! Manchester has some great taprooms but none serve food. Just awesome. Would recommend and I will be returning in the future.

    Cheers, very nice place for drinking supurb craft. Crew was stellar but the ‘manager’ could take a be-happy course and make a proper welcome to visitors/guests. So 4 stars instead of 5

  • 5/5 Alexandra B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to try wonderful beer. 40 lines of Brew York and collabs they have done. A very welcoming atmosphere with a real buzz about the place. People enjoying wonderful beer. They have some 2.7% stouts ranging to a 15% all for you to try. The food also was beautiful and a huge selection for everyone's dietary needs.

  • 5/5 Kristina K. 11 months ago on Google
    Visited as a big fan of their beer and I really enjoyed it! Lots of cans and merch to buy downstairs and a huuuuge selection of beers upstairs. As a stout fan I was glad to see a large selection on tap and wish I could have tried more! The food is so easy to order with the QR code at the tables and arrived really quickly. I would say the food is average, it was more salty than flavourful but we still enjoyed it and it went great with the beers.

    Great place to visit.See the brewery, with a choice of ale's brewed on site. Upstairs has a large beer hall and a choice of oriental food available. Large outdoor seating area At the front downstairs,and a great little scenic seating area At the back overlooking the river. Great place to visit with family or Not.

    Really nice selection of beers, the IPAs are really good, my girlfriend had a lager equally good. Upstairs there was a quiz night and it looked very buzzing, didn't have food but the Asian style dishes looked very tasty. Down was nice and warm. Would go back once in York

    The first time I came here, excellent, this time post COVID service was awful. No staff about to help with drinks or even tell you where the bar is. We nearly left. The table service app only does food and gets annoying as the back button takes you out the site. One of the brewery workers helped us out and the food and beer again were brilliant. A few signs to help people, look like you're open and some staff about to help.
