The Stonebow pub in York, formally known as the Terrace is set to reopen its doors to the local community on Monday 24 July following a £304,000 investment by the award-winning Stonegate Group.
Returning to its former name, from 1958, the Stonebow has not only had a name change but also a transformative makeover.
Inside, the pub has been revitalised throughout to provide a fresh, new look to the longstanding local. The Stonebow has retained all its warm character and charm but features new furnishings and fittings and eight new HD TV screens.
It is not just the inside that had been renovated, but the pub’s beer garden has been revamped just in time for summer. Guests can enjoy a refreshing drink and food with friends and family in the delightful outdoor space.
Speaking of drinks, the Stonebow has shaken up its drinks menu, which will now feature cocktails and real ales. The new menus do not stop there, as the food menu, which pairs perfectly with the new drinks will also feature new dishes of pub classics.
Whilst you can come in and enjoy food and drink, there will also be a variety of entertainment for you to enjoy. Throughout the week guests can participate in quiz nights, poker nights, games nights and live music and DJs. Also, live sports will be shown on the new HD TV screens, located throughout the pub, the garden and the new booths. The pub has always been a favourite among football fans, and the team hope to make this a sports lovers’ paradise.
At the helm of the Stonebow and ready to welcome guests is General Manager Joe Sophocleous. Joe has a true connection with York and is a true Yorkshire lad. He began his career in the pub industry when he was 18, working his way up from a bar team member to now running venues. Joe has been working at Stonegate Group for six and a half years and is looking forward to being back in York, at the Strongbow.
Joe said: “I’m excited to bring my experience and love for hospitality to The Stonebow and become a part of the local community. With the support of my talented team, we aim to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere at our wonderful pub. We want The Stonebow to be a place where you can relax, socialise, and have a great time with friends and family as well as a place to watch all sporting events.
“We are a pub for all, and as a dog lover myself, I’m pleased to inform you that we will be a dog-friendly establishment, both inside and outside. We look forward to seeing you all as soon as our doors open and at our launch party weekend, please feel free to bring along your furry family members!”
To celebrate the Stonebow’s investment and reopening, Joe and the team will be holding a grand launch party across the weekend of 28 July that is one for all you music fans.
On Friday, there will be live music from The Dalton Blues Duo from 7pm and more live blues artists performing throughout the night. Saturday is party time and there will be a DJ from 7pm providing music for an entertaining night. On the last of the celebrations, when Sunday welcomes The Wreck Liners performing country tunes from 4pm.
