⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOW! Reviews like this really make our day ❤️

A huge thank you to Jon for taking the time to share such a lovely review after revisiting The Habit more than a decade after his university days in York.

From our cosy rooftop terrace with Minster views, to great beers, live music, and the friendly atmosphere we’ve always aimed to create – it’s wonderful to hear that The Habit is still delivering the experience people remember and love.

Special thanks for the shout-out to Simon Snaize, who absolutely smashed it on the night! 🎶🍻

Whether you’re a York local, visiting for the weekend, or reliving your student days, we’re proud to be a place where good music, good drinks and good company come together.
