Welcome to the Duke of York—one of the most character-filled pubs you’ll find in the medieval city of York. Sitting proudly at the top of the historic Shambles, this pub combines centuries of charm with modern comfort. As part of the Leeds Brewery family, the Duke is known for its exceptional selection of cask ales, craft beers, and quality drinks that attract both locals and visitors looking for an authentic Yorkshire experience.

The team here is passionate about serving fresh, locally sourced, homemade food—something you can taste in every bite. Their menu changes with the seasons, keeping things exciting while showcasing the best produce Yorkshire has to offer. A rotating monthly specials board and a weekday sandwich menu add even more reasons to return.
