We are a family owned business located in the centre of York by the River Ouse. Our bar and bistro has gained a reputation for a wide range of beers and spirits coupled with an excellent selection of wines and champagnes. Close to The Grand Opera House and city centre, Plonkers is an ideal place to meet with friends or colleagues for a relaxed drink.
Weekends at Plonkers can have a party atmosphere where you can relax after work with friends. Upstairs seats approximately 26 but we can cater for buffets for around 40 people with some standing.
We now have our outside riverside area, where we serve food and drinks 10am – 9pm weather permitting.

Please note that although Open Table appears to let you book downstairs or upstairs, this is a glitch with open table, and whilst we will do our best to accommodate requests, no specific tables can be booked as its down to phasing on the day,

    I booked a table for myself after googling best places to eat near the Grand Opera House. I was met by friendly and helpful staff. My table was ready even though I was a bit early. Food choice was good, I chose the homemade lasagne which was lovely. I felt at ease and really enjoyed my dining experience at Plonkers. I will definitely be visiting again.

    Went with friends for Sunday lunch. Good selection of beers/wines. Food was tasty with meat (beef) together with a wide variety of vegetables. Service friendly.
