I had the Naughty Doris and my partner had the fish tacos. Be aware that the fish tacos, as with most things here, are a decent sized portion. The "small plate" label is definitely not applicable here! (Which is a good thing)

Absolutely insane food! Alex the chef personally came to see us. An absolute asset to the business. Tommy the waiter looked after us massively, friendly and attentive and you can tell he enjoyed the job.
The best steak and ribs we have ever had!
We visit York every year and will be back for sure.

Having been a visitor to York for many years I have had Pavement Vaults recommended to me a number of times but have never been. Today we visited for dinner and drinks and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. I was not expecting to find a full BBQ menu with slow smoked meats, and excellent burgers. The BBQ Beast platter featured the most tender St Louis Rib, a generous portion of succulent pulled pork, perfectly crispy chicken wings and delicious breaded buttermilk fried chicken. The accompanying chips, pickles and slaw were a very welcome addition and the two sauces were simple yet sublime. It tasted like the BBQ sauce was made in-house. The burger was juicy, packed full of flavour and topped with crispy bacon and cheese, with a large helping of the pulled pork to top it off. In hindsight, the side order of Macaroni Cheese might have been one dish too many, but we didn’t regret it, and having been craving Mac & Cheese for the past few week, this was simply wonderful. Service was super friendly and attentive and there was a chilled laid back vibe to the bar area.

Food at Pavement Vaults as well as the service was great. We first visited in 2022 and recently returned just over a year later and were just as pleased this time around as we were the first time. The only downside would be they do not allow takeout of leftovers. We had The XXL Tray between 2 persons as well as mac and cheese and looked forward to enjoying the leftovers as a quick snack or lunch the following day.

Fantastic burger, for my loyal followers, it might make it to my top 'best burger in York ', sorry Burgsy's!
I had the double bacon and cheese.
And today was the blue bull, with pulled beef and Yorkshire blue cheese, delicious.
Uniquely they also make their own brioche buns!

Found this place looking for a dog friendly pub!! Really busy when we arrived at 18:30 but much quieter within an hour. Oh my word. The food was so good. Couldn’t finish it so brought it home for later!

Came here as was passing and intrigued about the menu. Food is a bit on the pricey side, but I don't mind paying more if the food is good. The food here is really good with good portion sizes and the staff are friendly nice staff, so no complaints there.
Would come here again if I was in the area.
PS would be nice if they could box up left overs for a doggie bag instead of finding my own means.

We visited this fine establishment today. The food was absolutely amazing and a very big portion. Katy and Becca made a five star service. I highly recommend to walk in for a meal or drink. Thank you Katy for creating an energetic and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for the Viking looking chef for the great food we received ☺️

Absolutely amazing!
First class from the guys here, Alex the chef was fantastic! We came back here as the first night was too good we had to
make sure it wasn’t a fluke.
Alex personally came to greet us as we enjoyed the food that much!
Tommy on front of house was a real gent, true asset of the pavement vaults.
Amazing food and atmosphere, absolute must for anyone passing by!

One of the best meals I've had in a very long time, it's just a shame we live such a large distance away to keep coming back. The in house bbq sauce was amazing!
Andrew Burgin
Nice cool dog friendly place with a good selection of beers and food.
Sat in the bar to eat as we had the dog, had the pulled pork pizza and a burger both were great. There was a reassuring wait for for food allowing us to have some of our drink and show that the food was freshly prepared and care was taken.
Only slight disappointment was a lack of Nachos on the menu.
Graham Johnson
I’m one for a burger, so far I used to think Coast to Coast held the title for the best burger. I’ve got to say that the Dirty Doris burger absolutely takes the title as being the best. Nice one guys, top burger whoo.
Caroline Robson
Another fantastic meal at PV....amazing food together with fantastic staff and superb service, we wouldn't go anywhere else in York when looking for great food, drink and atmosphere...PV has it all. A place that suggests cocktails for pudding will always get my vote! Hats off to you all...I only wish I could give you more than a 5* rating!

Having a drink with a friend, wanted the loos when I was abruptly confronted by one of the staff. Having ventured round the bar where directed he appeared out from round the bar. He questioned me intensely about whether I wanted food or drink even though I had been drinking on the premises for over an hour, when told I was just looking to relieve myself in their facilities i was again confronted with the same question. I thought to myself did this guy not hear me? But he repeated the question, whether I wanted food or drink. Having already purchased a round for only myself and one other totalling £14 I thought I was justified to use the toilets of this establishment but apparently I hadn’t passed this guys particular questioning. Eventually he relented from the incessant repetitive questioning like a slaved monotask computer when I told him I had a drink already. Eventually when I had found the toilets and managed to relieve the pressure on my bladder I found them and the bar to be of an interesting and unique architectural style. This particular ineffectual employee ruined my whole day out in York after travelling for two hour to visit a friend. The bar staff were helpful until I encountered the offending employee which decided I needed questioning like the prime suspect in a murder case. If I had been warned using the toilet had been under close scrutinisation I would have waited till I had found a new drinking establishment. Unfortunately I was not warned, maybe it was my Mancunian accent that offended his ears but I took offence to being treated like a nazi war criminal.
Michelle Rodgers
Absolutely fabulous, really impressed, cooked to perfection and staff friendly and attentive, definitely recommend this place
Simon Hopwood
Great place for some top quality food and beer, very friendly staff, can't think of anywhere better in York
Yvonne Parry
Been in a few times but never eaten, finally got round to it on Saturday and the food was so delicious. The smoked brisket bun was amazing, will be having the ribs next time oh or the Doris burger, can't decide! Really good service too, can't wait to return 😀🍖🍻
Adam Day
Lovely food, drink and outstanding service. From entering at a busy time with 4 adults and 4 kids under 10 Colin and the rest of the vaults team looked after us. The food is great and the customer service is outstanding and you are made to feel like a valued customer from start to finish. Would def recommend and will def be back when we are next in York.
Adam Mathew Priest

Christine Burns
Really lovely restaurant & bar, the staff were really friendly & helpful. We didn’t eat, but the food looked great. Will definitely return here on our next visit to York �
Brendan Lucy Foy
Went in yesterday for lunch with the kids, sitting waiting for service and we were asked to move to the restaurant for lunch. (we were just about to leave).
The food was good, Mac + Cheese plus pizza, very tasty would recommend. The interior is very trendy and upto date.
You need to make it apparent what area you need to be in for food!.
Paul Dummett
The Food was Fantastic, great selection of continental beers and lovely corner spot to watch the world go by.
Tony Timlin

Philip Piper
Excellent pub with very knowledgeable and friendly staff and great beer
Graeme Brown
Amazing food , had Reaper burger , boy was it hot hot hot lush, salads and ribs all look great , fine selection of beers in bar area. Staff were great very friendly.
Dawn Theaker
A nice and friendly pub. Unfortunately I was sat next to the kitchen, enclosed in glass so visibly able to see kitchen and food preparation. During this time I saw a bearded male, quite long one, serving food without a snood to cover his beard. I also witnessed this same male lick his ungloved fingers after touching food
Lyndsey Bell
The old smokey burger was out this world, highly recommend!
Shaun Tymon
Really great selection of beers. Well kept cellar, great central location and very friendly staff. Thanks.
Elaine Gledhill
First time to this place loved it the food and the service was brilliant will definitely be back
Stella Dixon
Nice seating downstairs - just a little bit noisy with Christmas revelry. Didn't get chance to try the food but I'm told it's very good
Mark Harrison
An absolute joke of a place. We got in with no issues and some good crack with the bouncer then 5 mins later she says one of the lads was swaying too much. Why let us in if he was drunk let alone serve us drinks then chuck us out
Problem was all he was doing at the time of been thrown out was checking the footy scores on his phone
Thanks for nothing
Michelle Reavill Cooke
Had a lovely evening in Pavement Vaults last night, can't fault the staff...all really friendly and chatty. Thank you guys, we'll be back again for sure.
Steve Tagg
We only popped in for a drink but have been there before. Excellent friendly service is guaranteed !
Katrina Blades
You would think after charging £4 for a small white wine ,
They could afford to put toilet paper in the ladies !
Cyrus Kay
Smashing friendly staff and the best cue this side of the Carolinas.
Helen Pickard
