The Drawing Board Cafe

Was in York for an annual group conference and came here Thursday and Friday nights. Josh and the other bouncer (I forgot his name but he wore some unique gloves and is a martial arts instructor), were very friendly and welcoming. We didn’t eat here so can’t rate the food but the cocktails were good and we made use of the 2 for £5 baby Guinness quite a few times too! Will be back next year!

Visited a few times for lunch. Food is really nice. It was a bit busy so we had a bit of a wait but it didn’t bother us. Had 3 teenage daughters with me all enjoyed their food. Atmosphere was a bit off so only given 3 stars. I think tensions between staff because it was busy. Didn’t put us off and we would go again.

We came in the other night and we were amazed at the support from the Door Staff. The young lad with the scar on his face was very helpful and filled with humour kept the group laughing at our table and the Scottish bloke was a laugh to be around. But when they had anything happen they were quick to be serious and dealt with what was happening quickly. The bar staff are amazing big props to the one with the Mohawk for putting up with some rowdy customers and the girl with the pink Curley hair they both are amazing staff. The environment portrayed by the door staff and the bar staff mentioned was relaxing and I didn’t feel pressured or like the door staff were going to scream at me for no reason!

Popped in here for a quick breakfast with my wife, I was served by the excellent Holly. I had a smoked back bacon sandwich with sausage and tomato. Quality ingredients, and you certainly pay for what you get. My wife had egg, guacamole and mushroom on toast, I had a cheeky pint of IPA, lovely hand pulled beer. Service and food were 10/10. Would definitely go again.

Honestly you can't go wrong woth drawing board for drinks. The cocktails have a £5 and £10 menu, so very wl priced for cocktails. They also have speciality shots, with the snickers shot being the best, and a must try for anyone. The knly downside is that they do not always have salt for the snickers shot which does ruin the flavour. The staff are very nice and quick tk serve and make drinks. Nice interior and exterior seating. Definitely my go to bar for drinks, and would recommend to anyone.
