Dan's York Pub Guide
Barbican Public Lounge Bar (Barbican Centre)
Paragon Street, York. YO10 4NT
Tel: 01904 628991 (Barbican Centre)
The public bar at the Barbican leisure centre on Paragon Street is a typical sports bar. It's 'L'-shaped in appearance, and the whole area smells slightly of chlorine and sweat! Beers include John Smiths, Fosters and 1664. I had to wait almost half an hour for a beer while they tried to fix the Smiths pump, and ended up with Fosters instead! The bar also has a pool table and a small TV in the corner.
