The Last Drop Inn

You'll find yourself on one of York's most characterful streets when you push through the doors here—Colliergate's got that lived-in medieval feel, all narrow and slightly wonky, and The Last Drop fits right in. Inside, it's all dark wood and low ceilings, the sort of place that feels like it's been pulling pints in the same way for decades. There's a proper focus on real ales and a menu that takes itself seriously without being pretentious about it. It's the kind of pub where locals actually outnumber tourists, which tells you everything you need to know about authenticity.
