Monks Walk

Probably the best beer selection in any Beverley pub, concentrating on well-chosen better end local brewers, mainly on draught of one sort or another. A rambling place spread across two sides of an alleyway, near to the Minster in an interesting, characterful small market town.

Visited April 2018. Like Bartlebier, I really enjoyed my visit to this ancient pub, which occupies both sides of a central passageway and has a large patio to the rear. There was a decent selection of local beers on both keg and hand pull, including several hoppy ones from the likes of Atom, and my meal of mushroom soup followed by beef sandwich was very good. Service was friendly and it was great to wander around the selection of old rooms. Well worth making an effort to visit.

Magical April post-Brexit Tour 2017. Another hideous oversight in the RB places index is this 700-year old pub with low wood beams and maximum living room atmosphere: locals even came to haul us in when we were deliberating outside too long for their liking. Striking up a conversation with your neighbour is striking up your conversation with the whole pub. Lovely owners, made us tasty soup when the food bar was basically closed. 4ish pumps, 10 kegs and a "pin cask" (be it Greene King) Abbot in the cellar. I love playing halfpints in 2nd livingrooms like these. Belgium hardly does them anymore, Flanders is clinically degrentrifying itself outside from it and German pubs lack the interest in larger selections and mixed crowds social erotics...
