  Following an earlier meal encounter and spell at the Hop, the artistes who played the Hop invited me along to this late night Sunday scene - what a bonus!
  
  I wasn't here for the beer or the grub but instead the music and vibe. What a result. OK I lied - it was the beer too!
  
  More live music on a very well managed open mike night which has been established for a number of years. As before but with other artistes descending from other local venues, this was an unplanned and unexpected pleasure. More fantastic covers, more original material from Simon Bolley and Georgette to name only two and more atmosphere to be savoured. Again too late to be a foodie but hey who cares - what a great night and I'll definitely return.

  I've been to Dusk several times and very much enjoyed their strong, well-mixed and tasty two-for-one cocktails.  This time I was hungry, and wanted to try something new here - my friend and I ordered the Dusk Burger and a hot dog to share.  
  
  Both the burger and the hot dog were OK; nothing to write home about.  Both came with fries, which were uncooked and very greasy.  The meat in the burger was really fatty, and the bread was starting to go stale...
  
  The quality of the service was decidedly better than the quality of the food.  The guy who took our order was friendly and unobtrusive, not interrupting our "tasting" experience.
  
  The atmosphere is well suited to a place that's more suited to be a rock music lover's watering hole than a restaurant...
  
  While it's good to try new things on occasion, in the future when I come here I'll just stick to cocktails :-)

  What a delight to have 2-4-1 cocktails again. Glasgow by laws on restrictions on drink promos killed that buzz up here. So when we noticed the sign on the warm looking bar, down an unassuming side street, we couldn't resist.
  
  First impressions was how empty it was, but that didn't put us off. We grabbed a seat next to the radiator, and a menu, and made ourselves comfy. They have a decent range of cocktails, but you have to decipher the code names to figure out what you're actually ordering. Or, like I did, simply ask the barman. Unfortunately, the 2-4-1 only applied when ordering the same drink, which, considering the Mother and I don't share the same taste in alcoholic libations, was a bit inconvenient. But, when looking at the bright side, it just meant we had to order 2 drinks each! :D
  
  If you're looking for top standard mixology, with flare and garnishes, this is not your type of place. But they mix up a decent drink, and the playlist could have come from my own library. All in all, it's worth a bash.

  Went to Dusk for some lunch while I was in York for the day. The outside area was fairly nice and the staff were good however the food was a slight disappointment. With the high prices for the sandwiches I was expecting a high quality but I have to admit they lacked greatly in taste and weren't very filling.

  Dusk varies between quiet cafe during the day, and a late-licensed bar in the evening. Student friendly place with DJ / live music some weekends.
  
  Friendly staff, decent coffee, free WiFi, and art on walls makes it a nice place to chill during the day.
