House Of The Trembling Madness York

Reviews

1. Asa-Jai Farr ★★★★★

   Cozy ale house on top of a beer shop with a fantastic selection of quality beers and spirits. The food menu is good, honest food without faff but it delivers a range of flavours from meat platters to beer & cheese soup, and even a 1lb pie! Always a good variety of different beers on tap/cask and a well stocked fridge. All drinks from downstairs can be taken upstairs and drank with your food too.

   Wow. What a place. Absolutely buzzing with atmosphere on a Thursday night. We didn’t order food (apart from a couple of packet of tasty Yorkshire Crisps) but the food & portions looked awesome. Great selection for all tastes (Carnie, Veggie & Vegan). We got the only two seats at the very narrow bar and had a right laugh with the no-nonsense bar crew. It was so easy to order drinks using a number on the display next to the bar. The beautiful wooden rafters and full taxidermy wall make the upstairs bar one of the maddest place to get a pint. I think there is a potato is a big cat’s mouth. Standard. Sheepskin covered church pew and candles in bottles with years of dripping wax adds to the madness. As well as the incredible selection of cask & keg, they had Whitby Rum on the shelf. No generic spirits here! Oh and the soundtrack… The bar crew were playing what they like. Not what the brewery tells them to. Refreshing! Can’t wait to return.

   Fabulous place and hidden in a shop but when you get upstairs it really is unique. A large variety of beers and ales to choose from - listed by country, which was impressive. Decor is fantastic. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit when in York. Great shop too, so much choice in miniatures! Awesome idea!!

   To enter the pub you need to enter the store and then go upstairs. The staff is super nice and welcoming. They saw us discussing whether we should climb the stairs with the suitcase, and they offered to take it into their storage room. The bar has very interesting interior and cool view (see the pictures). The soup was really nice, as well as the bread and the butter we got alongside. I liked the music. The only minus is that the surface of the table wasn’t smooth, so I was holding my beer most of the time.

   What a brilliant place, beer and spirit shop downstairs and restaurant upstairs. Beers all reasonable prices with locals and tourists purchasing whilst I was there. Nice to see so many local brands represented. The restaurant and bar is upstairs, lots of beers on tap and in the fridge. Or you can buy in the shop then take upstairs to drink, so the choice is massive. Liked that there was various price points for all budgets. Loved the medieval character of the restaurant upstairs and was greeted by two super friendly staff who were really welcoming. Amazed at the amount of food produced out of the small kitchen. Well there are cheese boards and Trembling madness ones. Looked beautiful and so much food, made with all different cheeses that were gorgeous. Grapes, fresh bread, lots of accompaniments that all paired with the cheeses lovely. The pies also looked great which the people opposite were having. They do breakfast from 10.30, then after 12 Various platters, pies, sausages, burgers plus smaller dishes and bar snacks. If you want to go somewhere with great food, generous portions, wide selection of beers and a great atmosphere, then I would highly recommend.

   What a hidden gem of a pub, shop and place... My only regret is not being able to stay longer and try the food, which look and smelt amazing. The selection of real ales and larger was great, and i cant praise the staff high enough, these people obviously love the job, are very passionate to providing a great service and experience. The decor and atmosphere is quirky, surreal and practical, there has obviously been a loot of work to make the place look this amazing and humble. All in great place to visit, enjoy and im looking forward to coming back. 10/10

   This is a bit of Hike up flights of stairs but worth the effort. Its not a massive room and can get quite busy. Ales to choose from on a board which is constantly updated. Plenty to look at on the walls, great staff who were very patient. We did not eat here but the food coming out looked excellent. As far as we could see it was being preped behind the bar in the smallest 'kitchen' area I have ever seen. But it was all done without fuss. Its got to be worth a visit by everyone - Just give it a go, take it all in and leave trembling

   Great pub above a shop with biggest variety of beer I've ever seen. We didn't eat here, but wished we had as the food looked great. Beer selection brilliant and well kept. Full of character. We will definitely be back.

   Lovely but small pub upstairs, set in a lovely old building. Most people seem to only stop off for a swift half so tables become available quite readily. And with a mind blowingly excellent shop downstairs!
