You probably picture quaint old taverns serving crisp ales with crisp packages and that elusive feeling of history when you picture a night out in York. You're not incorrect, but don't believe that York's drinking scene depends only on the passing of time. There are many upscale cocktail bars, exciting music venues, and enigmatic subterranean speakeasies in York, a city that is equally as much in love with the present as it is with the past. Additionally, there is a whole arena devoted to the Stone Roses, so take advantage of that.
