The fish and chips on Roisín Bán's menu get a three-word description: "no explanation needed." That's the whole attitude.
The sign says Est. 2026, so this is a brand-new Irish pub and kitchen in downtown York. It pairs a white rose with York's nickname, the White Rose City, and then gets down to feeding people. The Irish staples are all here: boxty, bangers and mash, corned beef and cabbage, a Full Irish Breakfast with black and white pudding, and shepherd's pie. Then it gets playful. There's Guinness BBQ sauce, curry fries, Irish nachos built on a shepherd's pie blend, and a Twisted Cuban with fried plantains and mango aioli. Early reviewers rave about that Cuban, and about the corned beef and cabbage, the bruschetta, and the Guinness itself.
You can sit at the bar, grab a table in the dining room, or head outside. Reviewers keep mentioning the service and a real Irish pub feel. The tagline promises good food, craft spirits, and a true Irish welcome, and so far the reviews say it delivers.
Good food. Good friends. Sláinte.
