Warning! Be Careful of the Bald headed bouncer and a short fat bouncer and one with big ears. Bouncers assaulted me punched me in the face, whilst the other 2 held me back , damaging my teeth. Staff laughed at me when I complained about it, they dont care about customers. When the police arrived the bouncer who punched me hid inside possibly meaning staff inside have helped and the other bouncers denied him existing. I have contacted the police and will be pressing charges as I have multiple witnesses and am hoping the cameras pick it up. Shocking they dont have body cameras or a camera at the door... . This was my first and last attempt at enetering this disgusting place. They turned me awa...
Renowned to be the roughest pub in York and for good reason, locally nicknamed Lowther UFC. However, if you go during the day for a quick pint and food you 'll be alright. But if you go at night, (any time past 6) expect an absolutely disgraceful atmosphere and unsafe environment where the bouncers actively encourage and look to cause violence and staff indoors couldn 't care less. Unless you 're Charles Bronson avoid this place on the evenings like the plague. This review is also backed up by the fact 90% of the good reviews made on The Lowther is people going during the day, for food. But anything mentioning drinks and a night out is awful.
Bouncers here are animals, plenty of police incidents to their names. If you're young and/or drinking you can expect them to find any excuse to go after you with a little assault and battery. When you ring police they'll hide inside. Last happened to friends of mine a few years back, I see from recent reviews nothing has changed. Seems staff are used to it and complicit. Don't support this likely criminal establishment, plenty of better places in York.
Horrible bouncers employed on Saturday 21st October. Getting high off abusing and upsetting young women and overall disgusting behaviour. Judging by other comments owners and managers should know better and need to get rid of the current people on their doors. Puts our group off from returning

The manager elise shocking lack of customer service moody service behind the bar, to say she is a manager she should be setting an example she made us want to drink our drinks and leave
£6 for 2 small lemonades! Inexperienced bar staff and all round poor atmosphere. Many many better pubs in York city centre avoid this one.

By far the best Espresso Martini around. Great music and fab atmosphere.
Nice enough pub on the river with a decent jukebox.
