| Nice to see TC back behind the dj stand last monday 27.2.06. At least u know how to play decent party choons that we all reconise, and humour the croud over the mic. well done. keep shanks behind the bar or tie him up in the cloakroom so we dont have to listen to his NO TALENT. |

| nice tidy pub, decent friendly bar staff,dj mike brown getting better, plays great music on a sunday(funky house sessions). mondays have the worst dj on this planet(shanks)cant mix,no personality,boring to listen to,get TC back he's top bloke. saturdays play a decent selection of choons aswell. overall great pub apart from some clueless djs who should stick to flashing lights on and off cause thats all there any good at.... |

Apparently we are not living 6000 years ago. Times have kinda moved on. Next it will be comments like.
"things were so much better during the plague"
Maccas is awesome. As is shown by the queues to get in every weekend. |

Whatever's wrong with discussing beer related topics?
Did you know, there's evidence of ale being brewed as early as 6000 years ago in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys of the middle east? (Thats about 3000 miles south east of Ibiza to you). And I bet even then, some establishments would charge over the odds for adulterated wares, and employ neolithic doormen still gathering their bearings from the ice age.
Some things never change.
Dominoes anyone? |

Tim & Steve must be related! It is only a guess mind you. They must like those dart/domino/sit in a corner and look at your beer pubs.
The where you go to talk about beer and beer related things. Awesome bar, simply the best in York. Music, staff and Decor. Nothing compares. |

I get in McMillans with tattoos and so (i think) does every other non violent human, with non offensive personal art that is reasonably sober when they get there. Maybe you are barred for some other reason?. |

| since the refurb, its gradually going to its death. first they had food, which was shit, but in the last month or so the food improved vastly and was worth a visit during the day and chill out, then the food stopped and never returned. Been in on a fair few nights out my mates insist for the pretty blonde with big tats, but absolutely rammed, dj would never shut up, young plump lass that served me was miserable, the blonde was good though, blokes behind the bar too good looking make me feel ugly so went to flares and cheered myself up |

Reading the bitchy animosity in the reviews below, I offer my own fearing a backlash that threatens to spill over like a watered down, over-priced pint.
Before the refurb, I thought this place was a sweaty dump. Since the refurb, I am astounded. The place has been transformed - into a sweaty dump with big screens and fancy lights.
Sorry McMillans lovers, dont think I'll ever have a good time in there. |

c, The comments were squarely aimed at whoever Chapelfieldsuk is.

Apart from that area where bus's and taxi's refuse to got after 7pm...remind me...oh thats it, Chapelfields. So if you don't like McMillans that's ok, its not aimed at you Mr Chapelfields. |

The admin of this site are a waste of F**KING time. Why on earth are the promoters of McMillans and Nexus allowed on here to bump up the ratings of the poxy bars they promote.
Its simple. If you are a Yorkie with simple tastes, you go to Nexus or Mcmillians.
If you wanna try something with a little style and If you have the dosh go to Leeds |

Not so, Mr Moderate Man's Moderater.
A quick glance at reviews for the Hansom Cab (Martin) or Ye Olde Starre Inn (me) would show you otherwise. Maybe these two pubs would elicit the same bile and vitriol from you as McMillans does from us. And that's fine; everyone is entitled to an opinion. In fact, sixteen people have expressed their opinion on McMillans - resulting in an average rating of one. Make of that what you will. |
