Description:
Pivní is an award-winning independent free house specialising in real ale and distinctive beers from Britain and around the world. Set across three floors of a characterful 16th-century building, it offers an ever-changing selection alongside carefully chosen cider, wine and premium spirits. The rooms are small, crooked and wonderfully atmospheric, making every pint feel thoroughly at home.

​

​

Make a Day of It:
Browse Shambles Market, explore the medieval streets around The Shambles and wander through Fossgate before climbing the narrow stairs at Pivní for a well-earned drink. Ask the team for a recommendation, find a cosy corner upstairs and accept that choosing a second beer may require considerably more research.

 

The Tidy Take:
Pivní is small, crooked and completely serious about excellent beer. The selection rewards curiosity, the staff know their taps and the historic building supplies atmosphere by the barrel. Come for one interesting pint and leave with several new brewery names in your notes.
