CrowdedHouse
Signature cocktail: The Summerhouse
The guys behind the bar at Crowded house were lovely and helpful.
The week in brief
52 Leeds bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Vodka was the most used spirit, in 15 of the signature cocktails. 51 venues also made a signature mocktail.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. CrowdedHouse, The Whitehall and Uyare came out on top.
