About Lucia

Lucia Wine Bar & Grill.....is all about sharing food, drink & conversation.

Experience our unique dishes in relaxing atmosphere with your friends & family. The creation of the Lucia Wine Bar & Grill came about as a result of a shared passion for food and wine by a few like-minded individuals.

Aspiring to provide a pleasant time and quality service to its clientele. Lucia is a relaxing wine bar and grill that accommodates your mood every hour of the day. You can drink espresso while reading your newspaper or take a break and sample our unique dishes for your lunch, have dinner and drink special cocktails and wines, chat at the outside heated patio and listen to the music.

The fact that such a space is located in Swinegate, one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods of York, creates the right energy. Lucia has a great location where the locals and visitors could meet, where they feel at ease and enjoy themselves any time of the day, a spot not detected from street life but centrally located at the heart of the City of York.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries Swinegate were filled with poor quality housing, workshops and garages and by the 1970’s it was quite a run down area. Regeneration then took place and today it is home to several restaurants, Bars and unique shops.

In the medieval period Swinegate was the location of a pig market and if you look carefully you will see lots of references to pigs, particularly in Swinegate Court which is where "Lucia" is located.
