Gibsons, formally the Bar Hotel, was converted to a public house in 1865 and sits next to the historic Micklegate Bar, the most important of York’s four main medieval gateways and the focus of grand events. The Gibson has had many owners over the year but has recently been purchased by Star Pubs with a number of listed buildings within their ownership.
