Customer Review Summary

Cocktails draw the most praise at Dusk, especially the two-for-one happy hour and the fun cocktail names that one reviewer calls a conversation starter. Diners describe the drinks as tasty and reasonably priced, with non-alcoholic options and a good beer selection alongside. One reviewer says the flat white is far better than chain coffee. Pizza comes close behind, with a thin crust mushroom pizza and a slice of truffle mushroom on soft sourdough both singled out. Reviewers also mention friendly, helpful bar staff, candle lit tables and a busy, bustling room. One visitor brought a dog, who enjoyed the cosy area by the window. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who ordered two margaritas while a server was typing on an iPad and was told it was not their turn yet. They called it bang out of order and said they would not return. Another reviewer recommends the Milky Bar Kid cocktail as a dessert drink.

    “I attended dusk last night and whilst the atmosphere was A1 the service was abhorrentingly disgraceful, I was disgusted, disturbed and outright enraged by the girl serving drinks. She came to the bar where I was stood and whilst making eye contact me began typing on her iPad, I took this as she was ready to serve and I said to her two margaritas please, in return she said “it’s not your f*****g turn yet”. Un real, never have I been spoken to like that and I won’t be returning to dusk, I think she needs some lesson on manners and customer service because it was bang out of order. Other than that was a pretty decent night”

    “We didn’t have food ….but sampled cocktails! Well, when they are 2-4-1, it would be rude not to! Lovely friendly service that made us feel welcome. We had the Graham Norton, O-Ren Ishii (photo1) and a Britney Spears (photo2) Great atmosphere in this busy and bustling bar! Will look forward to revisiting at some point when I am back in York.”
  • Gillian Kemp
    “We just had an absolutely fabulous pizza. It was starting to drizzle rain so we made a snap decision to duck into Dusk for a light dinner. We ordered their mushroom pizza and it was one of the best thin crust pizzas I've ever had outside of Boston (which is where my favourite pizza is). They bill it as New York style but I only know Boston so that's my comparator. Ate it too fast for photos...”

    “One of the best bars in York. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff. Amazingly tasty pizza and some of the most reasonably priced cocktails in York. Thoroughly recommend for a night out.”
  • Gemma Spurr
    “Lovely atmosphere with candle lit tables. Staff were friendly. We tried lots of drinks ranging from tea and coffee to cocktails. All really good and great value for money. We recommend the Milky bar kid cocktail as a dessert drink.”

At night, we serve 241 cocktails Until 2am during the week and until 10pm at the weekend. We accompany these with a great selection of craft beers, selected wines and a soundtrack that you won’t find in any other bar in town.”
