The Quirky Café and Bar is situated in the former toll house on the York station side of Lendal Bridge, just across the road from its sister café the Perky Peacock.
The building, formerly home to Hartley’s café, has stood since 1873.
The site originally only had two seating spaces for customers. Now it boasts three new rooms, as well as an outdoor seating area.
