The Bar Hotel

The Bar Hotel is a public house located on Micklegate in York. It was originally built as a house in 1861 and converted into a public house in 1865. The building features pink and cream mottled brickwork, with the front constructed in Flemish bond. The ground floor is painted, and there are painted stone plinth and sill bands. A timber modillion eaves cornice runs along the top, returning at each end, and the building has a slate roof with brick stacks and a three-light window in a flat dormer.

The hotel is three storeys high, with cellars and an attic, and has a three-window front. Barred cellar windows in the plinth flank the entrance steps. The entrance features panelled double doors with a tall overlight, all recessed within a pilastered doorcase topped by a segmental pediment. The windows are 4-pane sashes, with those flanking the entrance set in tall rectangular niches. The ground floor windows have sills, while the first and second floors have raised sill bands, and all windows are topped with flat arches of brick. At the rear, the windows are 12-pane sashes.

On the left side, there is a tall elliptical-arched doorway that has been altered to a 20th-century window. The right side features a first-floor entrance, accessed by steps from the adjacent City walls, which has a 20th-century glazed door and screen beneath the original flat arch. Above this entrance is a round-arched radial-glazed sash window, and the attic has paired 12-pane sashes with painted stone sills and flat arches. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
