Oscar's Wine Bar & Bistro

“ Oscars in its previous incarnation was both a bar and eating house. In these new premises it thrives very much more as a restaurant. The irony is the bar is fabulous. The food is better than ever and the drinks also. Any visitor to York should have a look in. ”

“ Picked the wrong week for a UK city break-snow etc. However stumbled upon this establishment seeking refuge from the arctic blizzard. We enjoyed a jug of mulled wine and I indulged in a truly wonderful Lasagne and my husband ordered a delicious Scottish sirloin.The prices were very reasonable and the level of service top notch. ”

“ Discovered this bar while walking round York.Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Good selection of bottled beers including Vedette-a personal favourite, served wonderfully cold. Enjoyed a local reared steak while my partner had a very tasty mushroom stroganoff. All in all highly enjoyable and exceptional value for the quality of the food. ”

“ We have now added a link to Oscar's sample menu at the top! ”

“ Enjoyed a wonderful seafood mezze which we shared between three. Followed this up with a selection of truly gourmet burgers. All of which was complimented by the earlier mentioned ice cold beers. My wife not normally a beer drinker particularly enjoyed the strawberry beer. I enjoyed a few bottles of ice cold vedette lager and then equally cold Grolsch. ”

“ Finally made it to the new premises. Conclusion-the staff and all involved have managed to transplant the soul of the original business into these wonderful new premises. The food is as good as ever but a great improvement is the well chilled beers, both bottled and draft. The staff also seemed to have moved up a gear from good to excellent. ”

“ I hadn't been to Oscar's for a while & the new location is great. The atmosphere was lively & buzzy, and the tables are a good size so you're not trying to squash all your food & drink on! Food was fresh, tasty & great value. The portions are ENORMOUS, though, so you may end up wasting a lot of food. ”

“ WOW! I was petrified when I heard Oscars Wine Bar was relocating to Swinegate, but I need fear not - it has actually managed to make itself better... much better in fact. The atmosphere was superb, amazingly friendly, and the music typical Oscars fun. I love it..had the Tower burger and my wife had one of the many vegetarian options..this time the spicy bean burger. We stayed there most of the night and went next door to the Biltmore for a nightcap - and honestly we can't wait for next weekend now! ”

“ After having been a regular at the old Oscars I was eager to see what the new one had in store. I was most definitely not disappointed by the new location which has an even better atmosphere with the same electric vibe, gorgeous food, reasonable prices and great cocktails. ”

“ I went to the new Oscar's yesterday and I love, love, love it. Still a friendly and cheerful vibe but so much nicer and brighter. I had the Special Burger and my hubbie a platter. Still has the amazing value and quality but its like sitting in the Ritz compared to the old place. Well done - I will be coming back again this week! ”

“ Always go to oscars, I would recommend this to anyone, food is amazing. CHEEEESYYY chips are tremendous I have them every time for starter. The best place to eat in york by far for value for money and enjoyment!! ”

“ We have walked passed the new location it looks great we can't wait to go in for cheeeeeessy chips maybe the nacho's that are fabulouuuuus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**** please come and join the relaxation and atmosphere with us... ”

“ We always visit Oscars when we are shopping in York, we love the friendly atmosphere where we do not feel at all rushed, we especially love the 'Cheesy Chips'... a great & cosy hangout for our tired feet! ”

“ I went for the first time a couple of months ago with some work friends and was thoroughly impressed. Absolutely gorgeous food, generous portions, reasonable prices, great atmosphere and absolutely gorgeous cocktails. I would recommend it to anyone. One of my favourite places to eat in York. ”
