Pitcher Piano York

Another bar chain. *yawn* SO why the review? Well for those unfamiliar to York P&P offers a certain charm on the location alone. Boasting' (so say P&P's website) an enviable riverside location the bar has recently undergone a costly refurb. Once the downstairs toilets used to have a flooding/smell problem emitting from the enviable' riverside location. This has now thankfully been rectified. As has the horrid wall paper and nicotine stained sofas. The bar area is separated into downstairs looooooooooong bar (as many customers served at the same time as possible), a set apart chill out' area and terrace. Upstairs shorter bar, booth seating and red/black theme to the decor that works only at night when you don't have to look at it. Prices here are steep for what there is on the menu. The cocktails are very run of the mill with premium' spirits being Bombay Saphire Gin and Finlandia Vodka: So pitched for the mainstream end of the market. Ask and you might , if youre lucky, be found some Tanquerry, but last time I did this the bar staff didn't even know this was a Gin brand. I didn't even try for Hendricks...The vibe is always busy busy busy and VERY popular with stag and hen weekenders. Loud, Krude and too rude in most cases. But on a sunny afternoon if you step outside onto the terrace, escape the meat market atmosphere of the bar area and ease oneself into watching the riverside, with the sun out you could fool yourself youre somewhere more continental. Until you take a sip of your drink that is...P&P york; proof indeed that in the words of Kirsty and Phil Location, location, location is everything.

This is by far my favorite place to eat in York. Usually come for lunch and the food is always lovely, staff friendly and it's in prime location on the riverbank

Love this place, I love all the old school music they play the atmosphere is great. Could never go to York and not go in for a drink!

Ok so yes it is a chain, but the pianos are normally quite good and this is no exception. add to that the brilliant location, its right on the river so it its sunny you can go out on the deck and sit outside and chill, if its cool then sit inside by the ceiling high windows and watch the river from there. The food is as per the chain gastro and good. It really is a nice place though and popular for works nights out. The food is very good and the service is good too, even if there is a problem they sort it out very quickly. its a fun trendy place, the interior is very modern and cool so its popular with the younger crowd.

The food was terrible the and overpriced my rap was cold when it said it would be hot the waitress was grumpy and they removed ingredients from my meal without my consent
