The old County Hotel's Tudor Bar was actually just the corner of the hotel restaurant, an old-style carvery type place lacking any modern comfort. Drinks were expensive and there was no atmosphere - we only visited out of completeness. People tended to look at you like you shouldn't be there (especially if there was a whole bunch of you in the middle of a pub crawl of all the pubs within the city wall..). There wasn't a big range of draft beers.

The County Hotel was massively upgraded into the ABode Canterbury in 2006. It's champagne bar, Michael Caines, is in roughly the same place as the old Tudor Bar.
