PLONKERS WINE BAR
specialist Beers, Wines & Spirits
ABOUT US
Based in the historic riverside of York; Plonkers has been serving high quality locally sourced food and drinks since the 1980s. The name Plonkers, comes from the word Plonk, which was used to describe cheap French table wine in the 1980s (although research suggests the Aussies coined the word before the Brits!).
Plonkers Wine Bar has been around since those early 1980’s times and is completely independent and family run.
Come and enjoy the unique friendly atmosphere either within our unique building or out on the iconic Riverside, a location which is hard to beat! At Plonkers we aim to provide the very best personal service to all our customers and continue to support the many local breweries and suppliers.
