Description:
Evil Eye is a legendary York cocktail bar on Stonegate, known for huge cocktail choice, quirky interiors, late-night drinks and a properly fun hidden-away feel. Great for date nights, group drinks and anyone who wants their cocktail menu to feel less like a list and more like a small novel.
Good for:
Cocktails · Late nights · Date nights · Group drinks · Quirky interiors · York nights out
Nearby:
Stonegate · York Minster · Shambles · St Sampson’s Square · Swinegate · Museum Gardens
Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around York Minster, Shambles or Stonegate, then head to Evil Eye for cocktails and a proper city-centre drink session. If the night gets lively, you’re already surrounded by York bars, which is very convenient and mildly dangerous.
The Tidy Take:
Tidy Guides recommends Evil Eye because it’s one of those York bars people actually remember. It’s colourful, cocktail-heavy and full of personality — the kind of place where choosing a drink becomes a full group project and nobody’s leaving quickly.
