The Masons Arms

About

The Masons Arms, a historic Tudor‑style pub on 6 Fishergate, offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that blends classic British pub charm with contemporary comfort. Founded in 1835, the establishment boasts a richly decorated interior featuring salvaged fire‑pit and paneling from the nearby Castle Prison. The pub serves an extensive menu that marries traditional British fare with international influences—think hearty fish & chips, sizzling steaks, and an impressive selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Open to the public from 8 AM to 11 PM Monday–Saturday and until 10:30 PM on Sundays, the venue caters to families, couples, and solo diners alike. Beyond its dining experience, the pub’s rear courtyard hosts private accommodation: four double ensuite rooms, each with its own entrance, offering a peaceful retreat close to York’s historic city walls, the River Foss, and major attractions such as the York Castle Museum and Clifford’s Tower. Guests can book rooms through multiple platforms or directly via the official booking link.
