Howl | Wine Bar & Bottle Shop | York

You'll find Howl tucked away on Castlegate, that cobbled stretch between the Minster and the river where things start feeling properly medieval. It's the kind of place where you can rock up for a glass of something interesting at the bar, or spend an evening working through their wine list with someone who genuinely enjoys talking about what's in the glass. The real draw is the marriage of bar and bottle shop—taste something you love, and you can walk out with a bottle to finish at home. It's become exactly the sort of spot locals disappear into when they want to escape the tourist shuffle without any pretension.
