The Route

Stop 1: Flamingo Noir Record Bar

Let's not pretend we weren't all going to end up here eventually.

We're kicking things off at the Neon Flamingo, arguably the gayest place in Newmarket, and we're saying that with love. The drinks are flowing, the vibes are immaculate, the DJ is spinning, and yes, the bartender is gay.

We'll have some light snacks available as everyone mingles and gets to know each other, and we'll also question whether walking several kilometres between bars was actually a good idea. Jokes, Main St is cute and small, just a little few steps ahead.

Stop 2: Olde Village Free House

Now we're talking.

Olde Village Free House is where things get a little louder, a little rowdier, and a lot more entertaining. Expect surprise performances, special guests, and enough energy to make you forget how many steps you've already taken.

This is also the point in the evening where your group chat starts filling up with photos you'll be deleting tomorrow.

Final Stop: Lounge by The George

We've made it.

The final stop of the evening brings us to Lounge by The George for a relaxed finish, great company, and a little whiskey tasting for those looking to end the night in style. Special performances by Symbiois, York Pride’s resident band of the festival, who’ve been with us since moving to Newmarket.

Who is George?

Honestly, we're not entirely sure.

What we do know is that you've successfully survived the York Pride Pub Crawl, collected some fantastic memories, and hopefully made it through the evening without falling down the hill you walked up earlier.

We believe in you.

Mostly.
