Take a look inside Burton Lane Club after its £34k renovation

York Burton Lane Club on Bootham Crescent in York is now open after a £34,000 revamp and it looks totally different.

The refurbishment took around four months to complete and has seen the bar area open up to create more space for visitors. A big separating wall has been removed and the bar has moved backwards.

Design-wise there’s been brand new carpets fitted, structural improvements, new chairs and a fresh colour scheme using trendy greys and neutrals.

There’s also been the addition of several new big screen TVs (which show Sky Sports) and a music box. 

Club Steward Tony Franks and Club Secretary Dave Beavers have done much of the work with their own hands, so that more cash could be spent on improvements. They admit it’s been hard work!

The improvements came after Dave and Tony decided that they needed to take action before York City Football Club leaves Bootham Crescent. They’ve completely modernised the whole bar area to give the people of York a decent place to meet up and socialise.

Everyone is welcome at Burton Lane Club, and there’s plenty to enjoy for those who enter. If you fancy a game of pool or darts, want to catch the football or just enjoy a quiet pint – all of this is on offer. With decent prices such as £3.20 for a pint of Carling, and some Sam Smiths pints available for as low as £2.40, we don’t think potential visitors will need much persuading, but there’s also regular quiz nights and music on, too.

Burton Lane Club is always on the lookout for new members, please enquire with Dave or Tony in the club if you would like to join.

Burton Lane Club, 74 Bootham Crescent, York, is open Monday-Thursday from 5pm-12am, Friday from 4pm – 12am and Saturday-Sunday 12pm-12am. Why not pop down and check it out?
