English Pubs, York

While people generally know pubs because of the beer, they are inexpensive places to eat. There is an asociation called CAMRA who works to preserve old pubs and after buying their guide I visited Royal Oak and The Blue Bell which are 2 outstanding pubs with beautiful original decoration. Another one Ive been recommended was The Maltings which is a cosy place to eat and drink some beer from their good selection. The picture I show with this mini review is from The Maltings and is in black and white on purpose because it really captures the spirit of the place... Even if you don´t drink beer do yourself a favor and visit these pubs at least because of the outstanding interiors.

For many locals the english pubs are their second home and a perfect place for conversation. English Pubs usually don't have a waiter service. You have to go to the bar to buy your drinks and to pay immediately after your order. The beers for sale are either on draught (on tap), in bottles or cans. Famous types of british beers are: Ale, Mild, Bitter and Stout.
