Where shall we meet?: The Cittie of York

The most obvious thing about the Cittie of York is the length of its bar. This isn't just your common-or-garden long bar; it's a veritable Michael Barrymore of a bar. Less obvious, but integral to its atmosphere, is the number of barristers and members of allied trades who inhabit its dark interior: your feelings about this will depend on the outcome of your last burst of litigation. The former Gray's Inn Cofffee House sells proper beer, and a varied menu, including some vegetarian, at lunchtime and in the evenings. Open daily except Saturday afternoons. Handy for Lincoln's Inn and the Law Courts.
