Old Courthouse
Signature cocktail: Espresso Martini
I really liked the vibe at the old courthouse, and they had great live music on.
The week in brief
35 Cheltenham bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Vodka was the most used spirit, in 11 of the signature cocktails. 34 venues also made a signature mocktail.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. Old Courthouse, The Nook on Five and The Botanist came out on top.
