Which of these top ten venues make the best cocktails in Warrington?

Ice cold cocktails were on order this week as we asked where in Warrington serves the best classic and modern drinks.

Whether it’s a cold mojito in the sunshine or a warming Old Fashioned in front of the fire, we wanted to know your favourite cocktail and where we can get one.

Do you prefer a pina colada or a margarita? Does a Long Island Iced Tea take your fancy or would you rather have an espresso martini?

In honour of World Cocktail Day, which took place last Saturday, May 13, and after launching our new Best of 2023 competition in the Warrington last month, we wanted to hear about the venues the town that serve the best cocktails.

In our first Best of 2023 category we were looking at the best hair salons, barbers and independent stylists in the area followed by the area’s most delicious pies and then picture-perfect nails.

Ashleigh Hair and Beauty is Warrington’s Best for Hair, Tomlins took the Best for Pies title and Bamboo Hair and Beauty is officially the town’s Best for Nails.

Readers have been voting for their favourite place to go on a Sunday for a traditional roast dinner with the winner being announced yesterday afternoon, Wednesday.

Next up, cocktails were the order of the day and after receiving dozens on nominations over the weekend we have shortlisted a top ten, who will battle it out to be named the best in Warrington.

But now we need your help to choose an overall Best for Cocktails winner from our top ten.
