Date of visit: April 2017

Overall Rating
Good
Very friendly staff and wide range of beers on tap, especially Samuel Smith beers.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Both the downstairs bar and upstairs bar/restaurant are accessible step free from street level outside (from Steep Hill and Michaelsgate respectively) , but to move between the two bars indoors requires going up a flight of stairs.
Parking & Transport
Average
Probably no close by parking for main entrance in Steep Hill, but may be parking in Michaelsgate for back entrance. We went by mobility scooter and walking from Castle Hill. WARNING: Do NOT attempt to go UP Steep Hill from the bottom in either wheelchair (probably impossible and dangerous) or a mobility scooter. We tried the next day, and my scooter died, which was very traumatic.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Accessible toilet is by the upstairs bar, so wheelchair and scooter users need to go outside and round the corner if in the downstairs bar. Once there, all is very accessible.
Staff
Excellent
Downstairs barman very helpful with choice of beers, and with directing me to the disabled toilet
Additional Information
Would go again - but not in wet weather due to the toilet being upstairs and round the corner
