The Edinburgh Arms is a historic pub in York, in England.
The building was constructed in about 1830, [1] when the street of Fishergate, leading south out of the city centre, was built up. [2] In 1937, it was converted into the Edinburgh Arms pub. In the 1960s, the rooms in the pub were often used as accommodation by musicians playing at the Rialto across the road, including The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Roy Orbison. [3] More recently, it has hosted gigs, [4] and serves food. [5] In 2023, after the York Barbican was evacuated, most of the players from the UK Snooker Championship spent the evening in the pub. [6] The pub is also said to be home to two ghosts. [5] The building was grade II listed in 1997. [1]
The building is constructed of stuccoed brick, with the ground floor front being of timber infilled with herringbone brick, and slate roofs. The building is three storeys high, with a front is five-bay front, the centre bay projecting slightly forward. To the right is a single-storey extension. In the front centre are double doors with a pediment above. The windows are sashes, and there are bands at first and second floor level. [1]
