Katie O'Brien's Irish Tavern York
WHERE
York
What it’s like
A pub in York running live music every day and sport on the screens, best treated as a night out for adults rather than a family stop.
This one's for the grown-ups. There's no age policy spelled out, but nothing here points to a family pub either: live music runs every single day and the screens are on for live sport, which is the format of a proper night-out boozer, not somewhere you'd bring the kids for lunch.
It's open from midday until late, daily, so you've got plenty of choice on when to go. Walk-ins are always welcome, no booking needed, which makes it an easy one to decide on the fly if you fancy a pint and some live music rather than planning a whole evening around it.
Treat it as a music pub first: go for the atmosphere and the live acts, not for anything aimed at children. If you're after a family-friendly stop in York, this isn't built for that and you'd be better off looking elsewhere for the day out itself, saving this one for later when the kids are sorted.

Plan your visit
Is this suitable for kids?
It's not set up as a family venue. There's live music daily and sport on the screens, which points to an adult pub crowd rather than a family stop.
Do we need to book ahead?
No, walk-ins are always welcome. There's no booking link to worry about either.
What are the opening hours?
Midday until late, every day of the week.
What's actually on when you visit?
Live music every day plus live sport screenings, so it's built around atmosphere and a pub crowd rather than daytime activities.
