The Last Drop Inn sits at 27 Colliergate in the heart of York's city walls (YO1 8BW), North Yorkshire — a craft-beer staple for over twenty years and now fully independent, serving a rotating selection of around twenty beers and ciders in a historic building. After a shock closure it reopened with plans for expansion, craft beer and live music, and it frequently runs live-music nights, pub quizzes and televised sport in a friendly, dog-friendly community atmosphere. With a small standing capacity of around 80 and an in-house PA, it is an intimate grassroots stage in central York.

Colliergate, YorkAbout the night
The Last Drop Inn at 27 Colliergate is a York city-centre real-ale pub — reopened as a fully independent house in December 2023 after an abrupt closure, with the emphasis firmly on cask ale, and since listed in the Good Pub Guide 2026. York's open-mic listings put its open mic on Thursdays from 8pm, with no booking — just turn up. Earlier listings also mentioned a house guitar, piano and backing tracks and a free pint for anyone who sings, but the current listing doesn't repeat those details. The pub went on the market in January 2026 as its leaseholder prepared to move on, so check with the pub before heading down for a slot.
