Brigantes Bar

York


On a street that is notorious for its Saturday-night drunken revelry, Brigantes is a wood-panelled haven of peace and sophistication, with hand-pulled ales (mostly from Yorkshire) on tap and a dining room that serves classic comfort food such as nachos, burgers and fish and chips.
