Only had time to have a drink here during happy hour on a Friday night and we thought it had a great atmosphere! The staff were friendly and quick to serve us. We had a bottle of Moet for £30 which was served beautifully chilled! Just wish we'd had time to eat there as it looked very nice. more

Having had my first experience of Oscars recently I can safely say it will be my last.I thought that cooking a burger was not at all that difficult.How wrong I was.The food was lukewarm,the salad had no dressing and the burger was beyond words.The meat was lifeless and dry as a bone.Friends of mine have already beeen advised to avoid... more

Visited the new Oscar's and whilst the food is still good, and the service fine, the atmosphere of the old place has unfortunately not traveled well. Clearly a lot has been spent on the design and decoration, but the appeal that was the old premises has not been reproduced. Not a gourmet menu, but if you like good burgers and... more

I was really surprised to read any negative reviews for Oscars! The buiding is very impressive, the food delicious and the service fabulous! I visit Oscars regularly and I always leave a very happy customer. The menu is extensive with food for all the family although my personal recommedations are the burgers! The lack of toilets can easily be overcome... more

Having visited York many times over the past decade and on most occasions enjoyed food, and more often, drinking in Oscars on Little Stonegate I must admit I was very sad to hear of the move to new premises. There was a certain charm about the old building, with an amazing outside heated area, and although the bar area and... more

Oscars is one of the few pubs in York with some outside seating so it became a default “sunny day” option when I lived in York (pre smoking ban). It’s an ok place but definitely not somewhere I’d recommend. There are better and not all of it is the fault of the owners, rather the somewhat strange feeling of living... more

went in, took a few minutes to be noticed by staff. was then ushered to a table without the staff member actually making eye contact. menus were flung on the table and off she sped. sat down for about 2 mins at a table that was placed in a position that indicated to us that 'Oscars were a little bit... more

Went to the new Oscars Wine Bar, which is next to the Biltmore on Swinegate, on Saturday and what a fabulous surprise. I thought when it moved that it would lose its appeal but actually I think it may well have gained as the interior is so much cleaner and '2000s' whilst not losing its Ye Olde York charm due... more

Only go here of you like burgers. If you don;t and you fancy something else, it's not all that good. However, the terrace outside is fabulous and really romantic. Inside is warm and cosy. Don't expect it to be cheap though. The average cost is about a tenner for a burger. I wouldn't recommend the veggie burgers. The meat ones... more
