Victor J's Art Bar
For an utterly unpretentious and vibrant cafe experience, try Victor J’s Art Bar in the very centre of York. Near the famous market and all the main shopping streets, Victor J’s is tucked away in a nook of the narrow, cobbled Finkle Street, and provides a perfect haven for the weary shopper. Popular with the city’s students, this cafe/bar promotes a laid back and friendly atmosphere, with sofas that invite you to kick off your shoes for a while and relax. In the summer you can even sit out in its small, mosaic-covered courtyard, which is magically illuminated by a trail of fairy-lights in the evenings.
Serving generously-portioned snacks throughout the day, from prawn starters and salads to burgers and baguettes with all the trimmings, Victor J’s’ service is fast and friendly, and its food tasty, fun and satisfying. Fully-licensed, Victor J’s stocks a wide variety of spirits and offers a choice selection of beer and wine – so why not pop back in the evening for a cocktail or a pint? The cafe displays local artists’ work on the colourfully-painted walls, and rotates the exhibitions once a month so that there’s always something new for its regulars to look at.
