Twissup Does York: The Plan

  • Twissup Does York: The Plan

With Twissup York fast approaching we’ve put together a rough plan for the day, a lot of this will depend on how people are feeling and how many turn up, some of the pubs won’t fit a huge number of people in so we may have to split up and rendezvous in a bigger pub later on, plus it gives those who want to take in the tourist sights of the wonderful City of York chance to do some exploring.

The day will start at 12:00 (on the 26th Feb for those who’ve forgotten) at the York Brewery visitors centre, where we’ve got a tour of the brewery booked, after that we can stay for a couple of beers in the bar before heading to either Brigantes or the Maltings (which ever we don’t visit we can visit on the way back to the station later on.

After that the world is our oyster, we’ve booked the upstairs at the wonderful Pivni for 14:00 so we can have a few beers without disturbing the regular punters and crowding out the bar.

There will hopefully be more of a timetable coming later in the week along with a final roll call but I’ve copied the map of a lot of the pubs in below. There are a few that I think are must visits, such as the Rook + Gaskill and the tiny House of Trembling Madness (you can read what i thought about them here and here

There will also be chance to buy a few bottles for the journey home from the Bottle which is below the house of Trembling Madness.

If anyone has any suggestions of other places or ideas for timings and places to eat…we will need to grab something during the day…we’ve learned our lesson after Sheffield.

There will be a hashtag on twitter during the day probably something like #twissupyork so if you need to know where are we are check that or get in touch with one of us via mobile.

    I’d recommend going to Brigantes after York Brewery as it appears to be nearby and is nice and big, plus food is good at Brigantes.

    Then on to Pivni for 2pm.

    Then this is where a bit of planning is required.
    Trembling Madness is rather small, we could split it between half of the people head upstairs while the rest are buying bottles downstairs.

    At this time others could try and get a drink in at The Blue Bell if you so please, but getting in there on a Saturday is doubtful. Or pop off to The Maltings.

    We could all then meet up at The Rook & Gaskill. It has a big range and is a large pub.

    Have we rang any of these places (apart from Pivni) to tell them to expect us at a certain time? Just so when a big group of blokes turn up we don’t get turned away.

    Plus if you contact the bloke at The Rook & Gaskill he may line up some cracking beers.

    I’m sure quite a few of us know York rather well, but if required I’d be happy to march people down to the R & G.

    What about the Lion & Lamb (?), that was always an interesting place with lots of nooks and crannies.

    If people wanted to add in some others within easy walking distance, you can do a nice pub-stroll while walking along the City Walls. York Brewery and Brigantes are right beside Micklegate Bar (gate), where you can join the walls. It’s then about 5 min walk to Victoria Bar, where you can get off for Golden Ball, and then about another 5 minute walk max until Skeldergate Bridge, which is a good get-off point for The Swan and/or The Slip. Once you cross the river, you can then get back on the Walls beside The Phoenix, and walk along them until Walmgate Bar, which is 20 yards from The Rook and Gaskill! So about 5 pubs within 20 minutes on the Walls, and a bit of history too.

    Don’t be confused (as I was years ago) by the places called Bar, which are actually the medieval gateways to the city. They used to sell postcards here that said “Welcome to York – where the streets are gates, the gates are bars, and the bars are always full!”.

    I’ll probably be a late-comer on the day, as I’m in Edinburgh on the Fri night for a family do, but will catch up.

    If you make the Rook & Gaskill potter over the road, directly opposite and have a look at the Waggon & Horses – the landlord is newly free of tie and is sourcing some interesting beers.
