Tank & Paddle
About
Tank & Paddle York is a flagship social pub located in the heart of York’s historic Merchant Exchange – an award‑winning, recently renovated space that blends industrial charm with contemporary style. With a fully stocked bar featuring a constantly evolving selection of regional brews such as Brew York and Ilkley Pale, as well as premium cask ales like Black Sheep and Roosters, it has quickly earned a reputation as the town’s favourite craft beer destination. The venue also hosts a rotating gin menu, complete with interactive masterclasses for those interested in mixology. When it’s not buzzing to the live sports – the pub boasts 19 HD screens showing everything from Premier League football to rugby internationals – the menu offers hearty dishes, from artisanal sourdough pizzas topped with seasonal flavours to classic burgers and share‑style platters. With its dog‑friendly policy, outdoor terrace, balcony overlooking the River Ouse, and nightly opening hours that keep the music, drinks and conversation flowing until 1 am, Tank & Paddle is the perfect destination for relaxed drinks, festive events or a spirited evening with friends.
