"If you want to know where all the beautiful people of Leeds head when the sun shines, then take a trip to Angelica. Located in Trinity shopping centre, this rooftop bar and garden is the closest you’ll get to Ibiza without hopping on a plane. With panoramic views of Leeds, plush white furniture, and a stunningly curated cocktail list, Angelica brings the glamour."
"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."
"The interior of this popular hipster bar is definitely photogenic, but it’s the roof terrace that is the focus of most Instagram shots. On warm, dry days it’s the perfect place to sit with a drink, admiring the views of the city from above – and when night falls the neon red ‘You Used to Call Me on Your Cell Phone’ sign is the subject of most phone camera lenses."
"When: Headrow house is open every day till late evening but times for the restaurant do vary, so why not check out their website?. Located in a formal textile mill, Headrow House houses two roof-terraces which offer views over the Victorian Quarter, a grill restaurant, a beer hall and a live venue."
"On the edge of the city centre, The Reliance cooks up modern British dishes in a friendly and informal atmosphere. As well as its wide selection of craft ales, the dishes include Yorkshire pork sausages, Erdinger-battered haddock and spatchcocked poussin. The in-house charcuterie uses only the best, locally sourced rare-breed pork from the Taste Tradition in North Yorkshire, which is cured in the restaurant itself."
"One of the most popular roast dinners in Leeds - The Reliance has built up a real reputation for their servings. You can choose from roast chicken, roast shoulder of lamb and a veggie or vegan nut roast. On the side, you can look forward to roasties, carrots, cauliflower cheese and fresh greens, with Yorkshire pudding and plenty of gravy."
"Modern British dishes and homemade charcuterie in a relaxed dining room and pub, with craft beers. The seasonal menu is split into smaller and bigger plates. The specials push the envelope a little more, emphasising the ‘modern’ in modern British cooking."
"Mojo is a quirky bar which hosts all kinds of events, including beer tasting and bands regularly play there. Their gin tasting takes place upstairs in “The Rhum Room” where they’ll give you the low down on the history of the drink before you get stuck in with the gin. They have two packages available, one which lasts an hour and includes canapes (£28.95) and a Platinum package which includes 90 minutes of gin and includes a 2-course meal and bonus gin (£40.)"
"MOJO is a brilliant late-night dive bar specialising in all things cocktails, rum and rock'n'roll. Hit up the Merrion Street hangout and prepare to let your hair down over classic tunes, or check out some live bands while sampling quirky tipples."
