As part of my return to my old neighborhood it seems wrong to not include The Gillygate so as i was in need of drink I moved forward my plans and went in. Firstly, a good reception from the staff. In the past some owners of have been friendly, some standoffish, the landlord last time I was here was pretty downtrodden! Nice choice of drinks, and while I didn't have any food the menu looked okay I will return I'm sure. The feeling was okay, better than last time I was there but it didn't feel local enough yet, but I suppose as traffic and AirBnBs vastly outnumber community on Gillygate these days is maybe understandable. Upon looking on their facebook I saw they have booked a tribute band who seemed to have played all the pubs in Bootham, much to the amusement of myself and many others, I mean come on, they are poor and seem to be a sign of desperation on the part of the pubs concerned. When are pubs going to work out not everybody, including those who lived through it, want to repeat the 90s, more so a poor imitation. I wish these guys luck and will return to try food soon but not when the band is on!
