YorkMix - the not so styled version!

First look: Inside York’s new cowboy-themed bar and restaurant


Yeehaw, partners! It’s almost time to step into York’s new saloon bar – and here’s a sneak peek as to what to expect.

As previously announced, the Nashville-inspired venue Silver Spur is set to swing open its saloon doors on Friday 29 May from 5pm.

For opening night, as well as serving up a slice of Americana with its menu, the venue will be offering a beginners line dancing class and live country music.

Silver Spur is opening at 18 Bridge Street, which was previously home to Rio Brazilian Steakhouse. Inside, the venue has been transformed, with neon light fixtures, barrel tables, haybale seats, Wild West inspired decor, and a wall of guitars.

The menu at Silver Spur features stone-baked pizzas, ‘proper’ hot dogs, loaded fries, and a build-your-own grilled cheese meal – where you can pick your bread, cheese, side, dip and any extras too.

There’s also a stacked dessert list, with plenty of American classics like Apple Pie, Banana Split, and Mississippi Mud Pie.

The bar will also feature ‘Bourbon, big cocktails, ice-cold lager and pickle-back shots’ – which is a shot of whiskey immediately chased by a shot of pickle brine.

Silver Spur will also feature regular live music nights and line dancing classes, with opening night featuring two hours of country fun with The Country Club Band UK.

The York opening is an expansion for The Silver Spur brand, which opened its first location in Wakefield in October 2025.

The director of Silver Spur Saloons Limited, the company that owns The Silver Spur bars, is Doug Smith – who was a previous licensee for The Gillygate and The Museum Street Tavern on Museum Street.
