The Last Drop Inn, York

Despite no longer being run by the now-defunct York Brewery, the Last Drop has re-opened and is still a good place to go for a beer. It is fairly small with an area of seating at street level to the front and with the bar up a couple of steps to the rear. A total of 8 cask ales are served. On my Monday evening visit, these were Timothy Taylor Landlord, Ainsty Cool Citra, Bantam Best & The Last Blonde, Rudgate Odin's Blonde, Mobberley Sidekick, Three Legs Oat Stout & Caps Off Don't Mention The Wall Milk Stout. I didn't spot a real cider, but craft beers were Lost and Grounded Wanna' Go To The Sun & Hop-Handed Fallacy, Anspach and Hobday Dry-Hopped Wheat Beer, Caps Off Ice Cream Sour & Tartarus Arch Rogue. My Three Legs Oat Stout was quite enjoyable and despite not having been here for over 15 years, this remains one of the better places to drink in the city centre.
