    I am not certain of what I’ll be doing on Thursday 27th.
    So not wanting to be thought negligent when the call of duty is heard, I popped in to the Knavesmire tonight about 7.30pm, and came away with somewhat mixed feelings.
    My pint of Landlord was fine (there is also Copper Dragon) and the pub has an older relaxed atmosphere which we like. Lots of car parking 5 mins walk.
    However essentially there is just ONE main bar; so there’s not a space to call our own, especially if it should get busy. There is a large Games Room—– but not for a Club meeting. There is a small seating area by the stairs…. 2 fixed tables rather like being in a train.
    Another bar at the rear was closed and not in use.
    If it were to be opened specially for us, we’d be a bit lost in it….. and it would be a big thing to heat just for us.
    So overall, its an OK pub I think, but feels a bit like the wrong trousers unfortunately.
    Theres definitely a case for further research. I don’t think I’ve ever been in the Old Ebor……….
    Or whats the Bay Horse like nowadays ?

    Hi Andy
    Thanks for your efforts here.
    Nunnery Lane car park is £2 after 18:00. Full details here:

    The Winning Post is another option.

    It would indeed be annoying to have to pay to go to the pub !! I remember paying on parking meters to go to the Bay Horse, of course.
    An issue maybe for many, including out of town members: those of us who suffer the joys of surviving under City of York Council may have York Card type passes for free parking after 6pm

    Bishopthorpe Rd car park, where Scarcroft Rd and B’Thorpe Rd meet, is free after 6pm. The estate between Nunnery Lane and Scarcroft Rd and Scarcroft Rd itself have plenty of free parking after 5 or 6pm.

    The following pubs/areas are all within a 1-5 minute walk: The Ship, The Swan, The Old Ebor, Victoria Vaults and Micklegate. I may be forgetting or missing some.

    Maybe a pubcrawl is necessary to make an informed decision?

    It was agreed last night that the pub next week (4 Sept 2015) is the Volunteers off Holgate Road. I won’t be there as I am away Thursday night. Hope everyone has a great Bank Holiday.
