Temperature isn't an issue either as they have heat lamps and blankets to keep you warm until closing time. Expect a menu of hundreds of cocktails and even some classic American grub."
"East 59th brings US-inspired cuisine into the centre of Leeds. The New York City-style bar and grill offers guests a contemporary American dining experience throughout the day, then seamlessly transitions into a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop nightspot."
"Not only does Angelica have incredible views of the city, but it also has an enviable selection of gins behind the bar. You can get your ideal G&T made to order with the likes of Death’s Door, Monkey 47 and Tanqueray 10. But if you want something a little more indulgent, take a look at the cocktail menu."

"Headrow House has dominated the outdoor seating arena in Leeds, with a spacious second-floor roof terrace with plenty of seating and sprawling views. Headrow House is known for its creative decor, a wide variety of drinks including an array of craft beers, and an ample and diverse food menu. As a former textile mill, this vast venue is also the perfect spot to catch frequent live gigs and music events."
"When it comes to alfresco dining and sunshine drinks, the team behind Headrow House, Belgrave, et al, have most definitely raised the bar, quite literally. Their rooftop ‘beer garden’ is one of the go-to destinations when the sun makes an appearance. With a stellar selection of craft beers and cocktails together with 2020’s foodie revelation ‘Spitz Kebabs’ from Ox Club."

"Bar, bakery and as the name suggests, former boathouse, this waterside joint overlooks the canal and is ideally located for a pre or post-lunch family stroll. Board games will keep young visitors well occupied, although their attention may well be diverted by the arrival of Small Victories’ amazing sourdough pizzas. These bad boys are freshly made on site, so feel free to ask for a smaller size if your kids aren’t able to polish off a full portion."
"From the same team behind Headrow House comes Waterlane Boathouse. With canal-side views and a sprawling cobbled beer garden, there are few better places to catch the rays than this stunning spot. With a vast array of beers, wines and cocktails, and a menu of wood-fired pizzas and mouthwatering burgers."
"Water Lane Boathouse is the perfect place to enjoy a few drinks outside in Leeds. Waterfront location, giant beer garden and local breweries on tap make it a surefire winner. There’s plenty of room to settle down on their picnic tables that overlook the River Aire."
"The much-loved Wheatley Arms (which was saved from demolition by local residents) is a dog-friendly pub with rooms near the pretty Yorkshire spa town of Ilkley. The hotel opened in the mid-19th century as a coach house to serve the new Ben Rhydding Hydropathic Centre (since demolished), and the gabled, stone-built hotel has a homely, lived-in feel with big bay windows, Inglenook fireplaces and reupholstered furniture picked up at auctions. The hotel’s 12 individually designed rooms (a mix of traditional and more modern décor) are arranged over three floors and feature bold patterned wallpaper, sleigh beds and glass chandeliers."
