About Cat In The Wall
Cat In The Wall sits on The Stonebow in York, a small bar and live music venue that works around the clock, with coffee pouring right through to midnight. The cocktail list is the central pull, featuring a strawberry daiquiri among its drinks, and charcuterie boards are served alongside. Wednesdays bring an open mic night, while the rest of the week operates on a simple walk-in basis for anyone wanting to drop in. The room also doubles as an event venue, and the team hosts private celebrations such as birthday parties, taking care of guests with table and waiting service throughout. Dogs are welcome inside, which makes the space easy to drop into during a walk through the city centre.

“First time visit. Small bar with nice vibe”

“Hired cat in the wall for my company's 10th birthday! The venue is really beautiful and was set up perfectly for what we needed. Communication was excellent throughout and everything was very easy to organise. The staff on the night were absolutely fantastic. I ordered some welcome drinks and I was worried about how I was going to manage dishing these out. The staff were so attentive and greeted all the guests with a glass of fizz on a tray. It was really great and I didn't have to worry about this at all. Leaving me to party hard haha! The drinks are all absolutely spot on, affordable and really good wine. The pink fizz I ordered was lovely and everytime I go in there their wines and drinks are always perfect chilled temperature. I'd highly recommend them for any celebration and definitely a go to place to visit in York! Thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 and sorry if you can't get boogie wonderland and Kung Fu fighting out of yours heads all week”
