Best Nightlife in Drighlington

"What: Taking its inspiration from the New York nightlife, you'll feel like you've teleported to a Manhattan rooftop when stepping out onto the terrace at East 59th. Contemporary American dishes including burgers and prawns cooked on the BBQ are accompanied by creative cocktails, which can be enjoyed late into the night. Saturday nights see DJs take to the decks on the terrace, making it a particularly great place to come with friends.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"

"East 59th’s jungle-like roof terrace is blessed with south-facing views over the city’s skyline, which you can take in at your leisure over dinner, and if the weather doesn’t play, you can cosy up under their heat lamps and parasols to keep warm. From the East Cheeseburger to the Seafood Platter, they have a menu of New York-inspired eats to fill your belly. Fancy something lighter?"

"Look no further than East 59th, a rooftop bar and restaurant channelling New York vibes. Venture up for one of the best bottomless brunches in the city, enjoyed in their chic dining room or out on their gorgeous terrace."

"This Trinity Leeds rooftop restaurant boasts panoramic views and sleek interiors. Alongside a variety of fine dining options and an impressive cocktail menu, Angelica transforms into a lively bar when night falls, regularly playing host to club nights, DJ sets and summertime BBQs."

"After a busy day shopping in Trinity Leeds, enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks in the sky at Angelica's wraparound rooftop bar. The terrace offers panoramic views across the city and is the perfect place to watch the sunset."

"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."

"There’s not one, but two roof terraces to choose from at Headrow House. They’re both massive, so you’ll never struggle to socially distance. The upper terrace, Kennedy Meadows, offers incredible views across the city’s rooftops, while the lower terrace has plenty of cosy corners to settle down in."

"This charming restaurant housed in a former textile mill serves quality dishes in an adorable setting. It’s the kind of place you can visit with friends, on a date or with your parents at the weekend."

"An informal bar-restaurant on the edge of the city centre, The Reliance is a relaxed and friendly environment which delivers delicious modern British dishes, including Yorkshire pork sausages, Erdinger-battered haddock and spatchcocked poussin. With a wide selection of craft beers on offer, an in-house charcuterie and a laid-back decor, The Reliance is a firm favourite for a casual night out, where fresh, homemade food and great drinks are guaranteed."

"Unsurprisingly, The Reliance are pros at natural wine, mostly due to the expert input of Steve (of Wayward Wines)!. Luckily enough, natural wines go brilliantly with The Reliance’s simple British bistro-style menu, which prizes provenance and quality across the board. And you’re not talking ‘one organic bottle’ on the menu, here - these wines are all unusual, mostly natural, and some imported exclusively for Wayward."

"This much-beloved watering hole is the sister bar to one of Leeds’ oldest pub, Whitelocks. Whilst the former is the place to head for the more classic ales, Turks Head is the more modern choice, with a plethora of interesting craft ales, gins, and cocktails. The beer garden which sits in the alleyway just off Briggate is lively and atmospheric all year round, with plenty of seating, and canopies with heaters for those unpredictable British summer days."

"And the last, but not least of the best York photography spots are the Snickelways of York – the narrow streets and footpaths of York (the equivalent of closes in Edinburgh, Scotland). They look amazing in photos (if you encounter them empty). Liked this post about the best York photography places?"

"This is a typically large and, in many ways, unlovely city-centre pub. Early evening, midweek, it was noisy with random music; busy with large groups post-work; and high on one wall (my personal bête noire, this), a lonely TV relayed BBC News 24 on mute. But, boy, does Mr Foley’s serve cracking beer."

"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."

"North Bar was serving wild, innovative beers back when many of today’s craft aficionados were still drinking Carling and, despite fierce competition, it remains Leeds’s pre-eminent craft beer bar. And it’s one that, certainly at weekends, still feels like a boozy, unpretentious late-night DJ bar, rather than a place of arid, uptight beer connoisseurship. From North’s Prototype (a quintessential northern pale ale created with Kirkstall Brewery), to such seldom-seen draft guests as Brewfist’s Bionic or Stone Brewing’s dark kölsch Spröcketbier, you will rarely drink anything here that is less than impressive."

"This narrow bar has long been an institution in Leeds as a haven of international craft beers. It now brews its own under the banner North Brewing Co, and they're rather good. Drink them here, or visit the..."

"We have pizza there as a takeaway during lockdown and it is excellent. Once it opened up we went for an evening meal. It was wonderful again, I had chicken Milanese and my wife had pizza both incredible."

Serving delicious cakes and coffees during the day, along with their all-day breakfast sandwiches, Bennett’s turns into a bistro at night, serving more pricey items such as their roast chicken breast with roast onion cream and wild mushrooms at 21 USD."

"Described as the perfect place to relax and to take a break from the bustling city life, Bennett’s Cafe & Bistro is situated next to the spectacular York Minster, and offers beautiful views of York. Serving a range of traditional English food with an Italian twist, such as bacon or sausage in lightly toasted ciabatta, Bennett’s Cafe & Bistro is known for its tempting selection of wholesome, freshly made brunch dishes."

"This strictly kosher and vegetarian bakery is perfect if you’re following a specific diet, and offers a vast selection of baked goods, from breads and bagels, to fresh cream cakes and mouth-watering jam doughnuts. Visit: 399 Street Lane, LS17 7HQ"
