City boutique hotel, greystreethotel, has launched a full martini cocktail list for super-sassy guests to enjoy at its intimate cellar bar. Resting at the very heart of Newcastle, this chic bar is now serving an extensive choice of martini cocktails to suit every cosmopolitan queen. Each chic concoction has been carefully created to make up an impressive martini menu unavailable anywhere else in the city. 'Sex and the city' has been used to inspire four recipes that personify each of the four cheeky characters - full of fun girls can enjoy their very own Carrie cosmopolitan martini, or if you are more of a saucy Samantha then a flirtini would be perfect.

The martini menu also presents the hotel's very own signature cocktail - the nicheini - a cool combination of bison grass vodka, apple juice and apple wedges, not to be missed.

thecellarbar is renowned as a relaxed, sophisticated environment to enjoy a cocktail with friends, and the martini menu is proving to be a real hit with our guests. We have 21 different options to choose from. Girl friends should take their Manolos to thecellarbar to decide which ÔSex and the city' girl they are, with the fantastic range they will be spoilt for choice.
