06 — About
YorkAbout the night
Dusk, a laid-back independent cafe-bar down New Street just off Coney Street, hosts 'Busk @ Dusk' — a late-night open mic every Sunday from 10pm through to the small hours. It's a relaxed, walk-in friendly session in a proper indie York institution, with 2-for-1 cocktail deals and New York-style pizza on the side. The venue's own site confirms live music and open mic nights are a fixture of Dusk by night. A good shout if you want a Sunday stage after everywhere else has wound down.
