The Punch Bowl, York

The Punch Bowl is a pub in the city centre of York in England.

The business was founded in 1675 as a coffeehouse, and it became associated with the city's Whigs, who preferred to drink punch.

In reference to this, a bell clapper from the Minster has been used as a support in the rear bar since 1765.

It was rebuilt in a Brewers' Tudor style, designed by Biscomb and Ferry for the Tadcaster Tower Brewery, with red herringbone brick at the front of the ground floor, and plasterwork above.

The rear wing largely survives from the original building, as do three ground floor fireplaces.
