The Fat Badger - York

2025-04-08

Address: 2-4 High Petergate, York YO1 7EH

Pouring from: 4 casks and 6 taps

We drank: Three Swords by Kirkstall Brewery and Best Bitter by Black Sheep

We spotted the beer garden from our walk along the wall - unfortunately this was at 10.30, so had to walk the circumference before we could nip in for a pint (after an ice-cream and a visit to the nearby medieval guildhall).

Four tasty looking ales on tap served from an intimate bar area. The building had lots of other dining areas, snugs, and similar.

The beer garden is quite nice surrounded by flower beds and foliage. Obviously a good view of the wall too, as it serves as a wall to the garden itself.

A bit of a tourist destination maybe as was rather busy for a just 12.30 on a Tuesday.
