Went here for dinner after walking about the city. Sat on the 3rd floor in the bar. Rotating beer menu great; actually changed a couple of selections while we were there. Had stew and bread for our meal; absolutely scrumptious. Also LOVE the fact its a dog-friendly pub. 2 people had their dogs in while we were there and it was nice to see. Wish we in North America could be a little more enlightened.
If you love quality beer and bar food in a very cosy atmosphere then this place is a must during a visit to York. It’s a small bar with a great selection of ales, plus Belgian and German beers.
Below is an awesome off sales shop with some of the hardest to find drinks up for grabs. Not to mention the largest collection of gin I’ve ever seen.
No winter expedition to York is complete without a trip to Trembling Madness. Whether you're there for the beer, food or to pick up a bit of booze to take home, it's the perfect little hidey-hole.
I highly recommend the House of the Trembling Madness if you're ever in York. This lovely pub is located upstairs, above the shop.
Check out their daily specials, particularly their stews. I had their venison stew which was delightful.
Vegans and Vegetarians - there are options for you as well. We also ordered the veg sausage with mashed potatoes and peas. Yum!
Pro-tip: try to visit on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
The shop has an incredible selection of beers and spirits! Upstairs the bar is Old World, Game of Thrones vibe - wonderful to sit in and enjoy drinks! We ordered some great beers and the bread and dips which was delicious!
Discovered it by accident and I’m happy I did. You enter and it’s basically a mini market with tonnes of beer all in excellent prices. Go upstairs to the small pub for superb beer selection and a small kitchen where the guys will cook huge portions of excellent food. Honestly they are huge and super cheap and tasty. Loved the ambient, loved the beer and you have to try it
We were recommended this place as a weird and wonderful experience that we must check out when in York and it couldn't have been more accurate.
It's definitely different to what a normal pub is. You enter on the ground level with every bottle of spirit that you could possibly imagine on offer to buy. If you go down the staircase there is even more bottles of spirits in display cases. If you go up the stairs there is a bar, serving the majority of what was on the lower levels.
The staff are really friendly and offered detailed suggestions and recommendations.
Check it out if in York.
Great quirky little pub upstairs from the shop.. Very individual style, greaat food and wine selection, many craft beers also.. Definitely will be going back
Amazing place. A huge selection of beers, wines and spirits on the ground floor and in the basement. Upstairs is an amazing bar serving a great range of drinks. A great many things adorn the walls from animal heads to human skulls.
A fantastic place that we always love visiting in York.
We had a few beers one night and breakfast the next day.
Real hidden gem in York. Basement has a better then average choice of Whisky/Rum/Gin etc. Ground floor is Craft Beer heaven (plus a fairly decent choice of Cuban cigars) & the top deck is a cool little bar. Highly recommended & I will visit again when I am next in York
What a fantastic strange weird place, love it.
My wife and i called in for a look around the shop and noticed upstairs there was a bar, so we just had to try it, so glad we did. Very friendly staff and great beers, what more could you want. Can't comment on the food as when we were there no one was eating but looking at the pictures on some of the reviews it does look nice. Highly recommended and will be going back when we are next in York
Found this hidden gem on Google Maps and had to stop in for a bite and a pint for dinner. The building this pub is housed in made me feel like a wary traveler from the 1400s. Had the venison stew and a mango cider, which were both really good. People talk about how bad the food is in England, but I've been eating quite well so far during my travels in London & York 👌
