This is the bar located upstairs from the epic beer shop downstairs. Quite a quirky and fun interior. They have a bout 6 taps of decent enough beer including some Arbor when I visited. The great thing is you guy buy ANY beer from down stairs and drink it here, making the actual bottle selection about 500, so great! Do yourself a favour and grab a beer from downstairs!

Visited january 2013, on out great York Pub crawl. And what a place :-) first you have to enter the bottle shop ( and that can take some time ), then you climb the stairs and you find yourselves in a big " Cave ". Lots of animal heads on the walls, very cosy atmosphere indeed.. The staff is friendly and service minded, the food was good, but a bit spicy :-) Not that huge selection of beers on tap, but the beers were well served. For sure I will be back next time I am in York..

Incredible little bottle shop. Massive selection but perhaps lacks in the rarities. The bar upstairs is very nice, quite cosy and a little cramped. Decor is outlandish with animal heads on every inch of wall space. Food is excellent, probably the best bread I’ve ever eaten. Prices for food are very reasonable. Service was good

A very special place – a bar in the attic above an exceptional beer shop (see Trembling Madness Drinks Shop). I wasn’t sure what to expect when we went through the shop and up the stairs but certainly wasn’t prepared to find a candle lit mediaeval cruck roofed barn. It was peculiar, strange and wonderfully atmospheric! In a jocular parody of stately homes and hunting lodges, one gable end wall is decorated with stuffed animal heads including ducks, a rabbit, a mole, a cat (not so sure about that one) and a stoat which must have escaped from BrewDog. The other gable is stone with a fireplace, there’s a lion’s head and antlers over the tiny bar and a double bass over the stairs. There are six taps and around 34 bottles. When we were there they had Dark Knight on offer (three for the price of two), Ampleforth cider, Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon, Brugse Zot and something from Brooklyn. They serve platters (we had one Madness platter and a cheese platter for £14.50 and both were excellent). The tapas and soup being served nearby also looked good and hearty.
