York's best beer gardens:

Cosy Club

Rating: 4.5/5

Where: 19-22 Fossgate, York YO1 9TA England

"This is a must-visit location. The atmosphere and central location of this restaurant is excellent. The staff were very friendly. The building is an old cinema converted to a restaurant."

Dyls

Rating: 4.5

Where: The Motor House Skeldergate Bridge Skeldergate Bridge, York YO1 9WJ England

"The cafe is housed in a tower set against the Skeldergate Bridge. Because of its limited size, the inside is cramped, hot, noisy and the music was loud. Somewhere for a cold winter day, perhaps?

"The garden outside was packed with people relaxing in the sunshine and we eventually found somewhere to sit overlooking the river. What a joy to find such kind and civilized service and what good value the menu is."

Eagle & Child

Rating: 4/5

Where: 9 High Petergate, York YO1 7EN England

"Visited as a couple at lunchtime on Easter Saturday. Spent 2 hours in the hot sun in the beer garden with great ale, a ploughmans lunch, and a Ceaser salad. What could be better?. Nice staff and a great outside area."

The Phoenix Inn

Rating: 4.5/5

Where: 75 George Street, York YO1 9PT England

"Lovely looking outside with a stunning oldie worldie interior. Many ales on hand pull and really friendly staff. The rear beer garden is a like a hidden garden with views of the city walls. Will most definitely return and thoroughly recommend."

The Minster Inn

Rating: 4.5/5

Where: 24 Marygate, York YO30 7BH England

"The practicalities - the pub is made up of small rooms, not a lot of space if you need it and there's a nice beer garden at the back. The staff couldn't be more helpful. It's pretty much all on the level, I think only one step into the toilets, other than that it's all flat. They're very Covid conscious - they've really got it sorted."
