Valhalla York

An absolutely essential destination pub/restaurant for anyone visiting York. Great atmosphere with great music (metal but played at perfect volume so you can still be social), great, friendly service with helpful recommendations on ales and delicious locally sourced food. Me and my partner shared the Ragnarok platter which I highly recommend. Definitely felt like a vital part of our visit to York when trying to avoid the various branded restaurants.

Stumbled across Valhalla whilst searching for independent places to eat and drink. Fantastic atmosphere and good selection of beers etc. Staff were friendly as well. If you love food, you have to try the Ragnarok. We had one each and for the amount of food, the price was pretty reasonable! Food was great and super tasty. Also a fantastic soundtrack!

this place is amazing! the atmosphere and vibes are cozy and viking themed with a selection of comfy sofas and benches. we had the ragnarok platter. it was served quickly - fresh and hot. it was amazing! shoutout to the honey mustard sausages in particular, they were so juicy and the flavour was divine. the ribs’ meat fell off the bone so easily, absolutely delicious and tender. the chips were perfectly spiced! would definitely get food here again.

We were really pleased with our visit to this restaurant, the staff were incredibly informational with lots of advice on what drinks and food we might like and were just very kind and helpful. Overall, the bar and restaurant was extremely clean and well looked after with very detailed Viking themed decorations. Our seating was very simple but had a huge, huge impact on the whole experience of eating here, it’s just another very different and special place to visit when in York. Following the general theme of witch, wizardry and magic, it integrates with the history of York as it was once a Viking town And takes you back to those years while also putting a modern enjoyable spin on things. The drinks were great, I found out that I don’t really like mead, but my partner who does said they have a fantastic range. The food was delicious, we ordered one of the main boards and ate it together but couldn’t actually finish it because it was so large. Full of flavour, beautifully presented and very hot. Extremely happy with the service, food, and price that we got with this experience and visit!

Absolutely amazing place, especially if you like Viking themed places. The staff is very friendly, the food and music are really good. I had The Ragnarok platter for £35 pounds and it was enough for two. The beer is decently priced. If you go there be aware that they have a lot of seating spaces upstairs, especially the All Father Hall is really cool to see.

Lovely friendly lady behind the bar, plenty of good beer on cask and keg. I enjoyed the Colab Stout with Brew York. The Viking platters were spot on for lunch with excellent ingredients: local Shambles pork pie and York artisan cheeses. A great experience

Beautiful viking themed bar with a unique selection of drinks. Their own brew of various meads, which of the ones I have tried I would highly recommend. The food is tapas style, and was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go again

I wish we had found this place earlier in our visit. Such a cool place, the building is like travelling back in time. Decent beer selection and an amazing singer Jimbo Doomface made it a night to remember.
