Famous for exhitbiting an 8 foot giant. Nestled within the heart of the city centre, the Old White Swan on Goodramgate is a charming pub with a rich history dating back to the 16th century. With its Grade II listed status and origins as an inn in 1703, it stands as one of York’s oldest and most cherished establishments. Situated amidst a captivating ensemble of historic buildings, this pub offers a truly unique dining experience. Step inside and discover the pub's fascinating past, from the medieval courtyard's intriguing rock with four steps, once used as a mounting stone for stagecoach passengers, to the exhibition of Mr O'Brian, the world's tallest man at eight feet and seven inches tall in 1781. While whispers of a haunting by a group of Catholic escapees heading to France add an air of mystery, rest assured that your visit will be undisturbed, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the captivating ambience of this historic gem. Whether you're looking to host a large group booking, enjoy a private dining experience, unwind with after-work drinks, celebrate Christmas, or catch live sports on TNT Sport/Sky Sports, the Old White Swan has something to offer. And don't miss out on the live music every Friday and the lively quiz night every Thursday. With its great location near York Minster and York City Walls, this pub is the perfect destination for a memorable dining experience.
