House of Trembling Madness - Lendal

Really nice place and it is huge! We tried the two different soups with the ultimate potato's and they were both really nice. For my the creamy chicken was too salty but I'm not a salt fan! Prices were reasonable and the selection of beer was alright. The bartender and server were really friendly. Atmosphere was great with music on and candles lit. The artwork is very interesting on every floor. Certainly for those with an open mind and an acquired taste! Worth a visit for sure.

Dropped by for a variety of stouts on a quiet Friday night. Ambience was great, lots of festive vibes and everyone having good fun. Tried three stouts - anspach and hobday (nice coffee notes), brew York - a walnut milk stout ( my favourite, almost like a chocolate milk; though not as creamy as I would have liked it), and vocation, an orange chocolate stout (mellow and easy drinking). 21 gbp. Bartender was warm, prompt and helpful with suggestions. Would certainly recommend dropping by on a visit to York. Take in the English culture albeit a few pints in a pub in York!

Popped into York today for our wedding anniversary and came straight here. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the beers are great with a wide selection on offer with my favourite being the London Stout. It was very smooth. My wife had a few gins which she enjoyed and had the Caesar Slaughter sandwich which I tried and was lovely. Always nice to come here and I’ll definitely be back

How have we only just discovered this gem?! 🍻 The quirky décor is brilliant, with so many nooks and crannies to explore. We didn’t eat on this visit, but what we saw others enjoying looked absolutely amazing. The upstairs rooms you can privately book are such a great touch, and wandering through all the different floors was endlessly entertaining. Honestly, we could have stayed all day!

Delicious lunch here recently. We enjoyed a Yorkshire rarebit last time we visited and hoped to have the same again. Menu has changed! No problem though as their new sandwiches are totally delicious. Friendly staff. Great service. Relaxed lunchtime atmosphere and a mix of customers- solo or couples in for in a coffee, a glass of wine, for lunch, a larger group getting a wedding celebration started. Bit of everything here. Really quirky building. Will be back.

Stunning place! 😍 Right up my street, well worth my struggle up the steep stairs! I'm a disabled person and was welcomed into the shop and allowed to leave my walker there. The bar is up stairs and is stunning! Gorgeous pint of hand pulled ale in a beautifully atmospheric bar with vaulted beamed ceiling. The decor is a mixture of hunting Lodge meets Victorian curious. it's as good as everything else here! Brought a beer home from the very well stocked shop on the ground level. Toilets are on the lower level down another staircase, where you'll find another well stocked spirits area.

Came in with a big booking and thanks to the amazing staff we had a great evening. Food, drinks and atmosphere were a 10/10. Would definitely reccomend for anyone in York to visit !!!

Booked the basement for our family Christmas party, had a fantastic time and the staff we all really friendly and helpful throughout. Easy to book and very flexible regarding numbers and food which changed leading up to the date which was a relief! A couple of people specifically mentioned how lovely it was to have chatty staff who were relaxed and made it feel welcoming. Food was great and generous portions. Good range of gluten free beers too. Highly recommend!
