Description:

DumDum is a modern Polynesian tiki cocktail bar on Swinegate, tucked beneath Vudu Lounge and pouring rum-heavy drinks, tropical flavours and late-night party vibes. Great for cocktail nights, group drinks and anyone who wants island energy without having to explain to their boss why they’ve flown to Barbados.  

 

Good for:

Tiki cocktails · Rum drinks · Late nights · Group drinks · Date nights · Party starters

 

Nearby:

Swinegate · Vudu Lounge · Stonegate · Shambles · St Sampson’s Square · York Minster

 

Make a Day of It:

Start with a wander around Shambles, Stonegate or York Minster, then head to Swinegate for cocktails at DumDum. If the night starts getting lively, you’re right next to Vudu Lounge and close to loads of city-centre bars, so “just one tiki drink” may need legal witnesses.

 

The Tidy Take:

Tidy Guides recommends DumDum for its tropical cocktail menu, late-night opening and fun little escape-from-York feel. It’s the kind of place where the drinks arrive bright, boozy and slightly ridiculous, which is exactly how a tiki bar should behave.
