“"Popped in for a few drinks and was not disappointed, great selection of beer and really friendly staff. You're able to have a taste before you buy which is great. While we were here we had a game of chess which was ace. Music in the background was fantastic.    ★★★★★  - May 2018 ”

“"This tall Tudor craft beer bar is easy to miss. Just a couple of turns and a few yards from the top of the shambles it is well worth finding. There are 3 floors of seating available with the ground floor Czech-style bar being (...) cosy [with] quite steep, almost rickty stairs leading to the upper seating areas and the toilets. There is a good selection of craft beers and ciders available usually including imported Weisse beer too. One of the staples seems to be the Bernard (...). There are some decent wines and good coffees too. The staff are friendly and always ready to help with recommendations or a taster if needed. There's an impressive bottle selection but most people seem to stick to the varied draft options. This unique little bar is a great place to stop off for a drink or two and usually attracts a decent and eclectic clientele. Pivni is always worth a visit. ★★★★★- 15/05/2018 ”

“"Quirky, surprisingly large (a cosy bar but a further two floors of seating above) and an excellent range of British and foreign beers. Can get busy but it really is worth persisting. It is possible to get very merry without travelling more than 12 feet in any direction! A heaven for connoisseurs of beer. Lager is served of course but only the nice high end stuff."  ★★★★★ - 26/06/2018 ”

“"Lovely place just tucked on side street of York Shambles. Made my dog and I very welcome. Provided a dog bowl of water for my dog and me a nice chilled cider. Looked like a wide selection of beers on draft. Would definitely return. Thank you." ★★★★★ - 04/04/2018 ”
