Dusk, New Street
For most people the mention of the bar ‘Dusk’ brings confused and startled expressions, more so with the brief ‘its on New Street’ description. Only with the mention of “opposite Ha Ha bar” do people get a slight inkling of its existence. Just off Coney Street, it is located ideally en-route between Evil Eye (Stonegate) and Bar 38 and Orgasmic (near City Screen).
As an independent bar, Dusk avoids the clone feel of the chain bars and, although lively, the bar’s music isn’t loud enough to be overbearing and muffle conversation. Staff are friendly and prices are similar to most bars, admittedly with pints a little on the pricey side; good news for the more discerning, with great deals on cocktails (2 for 1) during the week, as well as the irresistable offer of a bottle of wine for just £6.
The best thing about the bar is the function room upstairs, which can be booked for free, and is ideal for get togethers in town. The only negative point is that it doesn’t feel as flash as other bars; but this is outweighed by it’s small size and the display of the work of local York Artists talent (which, although up for sale, would take your student loan to buy!). If you’ve got a bit of extra cash to spend on your night out, give Dusk a go.
