Best Places to Watch Sports in York
The ancient city of York is full of great places to watch live sport on TV with a number of particularly picturesque spots on the Lower Ouse by the river. When wandering around the Minster, the market or the old Cadbury's factory, it's easy to lose track of time and forget that the only reason you're really there, is to find a pub with Sky or TNT Sports, or at least a TV, to watch the big game.
The city centre has loads of classic pubs and lively bars showing live sport. Around Micklegate and Fossgate, you’ll find plenty of great venues with big screens and passionate crowds. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, the area near the Shambles has traditional pubs where you can enjoy the game with a pint.
FANZO's here to help you on that noble and ancient quest. Rather than just hold your hand though, we'll help you find that elusive holy grail, available in precious few pub finders: information on which games which pubs and sports bars will be showing. No more strolling in to your favourite pub to watch the all-conquering York City, only to find that some small-time team like Man City are playing instead. In the words of the Guardian, it's a godsend for sports fans!
