Cocktails - Cedar Court Hotel York

If you are ever in York we would recommend a stay at the Cedar Court Hotel, apart from being a great 5 star hotel, is has a pleasant bar, which has a great cocktail menu. While there we tried 4 different cocktails all prepared well and the staff clearly knew what they were doing. The service is very good with waiters to take your order rather than having to go up to the bar. It was a very relaxed atmosphere with great cocktails.
