AS Wilf says if youre arriving by train the York Tap is a nice pub thats in the train station. The Maltings which is situated by Lendal Bridge has just won Pub of the year from Camra. Its close to the large Aviva building on George Hudson St. All of the York Brewery pubs are good, my beer of choice in there is Guzzler, but they are all good. They do tours at the brewery which is on Toft Green just behind Micklegate. I wouldn't bother trying to get into the Blue Bell, as the L/Lord is definitely a bit of an ass.
In terms of your more trendy bars I'd avoid Micklegate and head for Kennedys, Bobo Lobo and Stonegate Yard which are on Back Swinegate off of stonegate, then just further on there are a host of new trendy bars on Swinegate itself
In terms of watching the rugby The Terrace bills itself as a sports bar, but most places will have it on
enjoy York is a good night out with something for everyone
Thanks RS

There is a pub on Fleet Street called ye olde Cheshire cheese which has nothing but Sam Smith brewed drinks. And very nice too. Have spotted a lot of Timothy Taylor beers down South also.
It's not in the too distant past the Old Brewery Bitter went above £2 a pint. For the location and decor of the Cheshire Cheese, Chandos, Princess Louise and Cittie of York they are extremely pleasant pubs for a beer in Central London. However, my lager drinking mates are never too sold on the Ayingerbrau!

There are some really cool bars in the city of London. I think the Cheshire cheese oozes character (not for tall people though!) I've not heard of those other places though HR.

They're all Sam Smiths pubs. Princess Louise and Cittie of York near Holborn station and the Chandos within spitting distance of Trafalgar Square. All worth checking out.

There's some decent craft ales, lagers and ciders now in marks and Spencer's. Craft 'beers' are the rage at the moment with a lot of English Brewers. Can only be a good thing.

Bought some of the San Miguel fresca and my word it isn't as nice as sol. It's drinkable though and stronger.
I also bought some more ale from m&s. They do a bigger range now working with independent Brewers which can only be a good thing.
