Your Leeds guide to beer, beer bars, breweries and brewpubs
"This summer will bring another rooftop dining destination to the city in the form of this glamourous Manhattan-style bar and grill opening in Victoria Gate in July. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining from the delicious US-themed menu, along with indulgent brunches, and bask in an authentic taste of New York in the heart of Leeds. Visit: 46 Victoria Street, LS2 7AU"
"Celebrating the best of American dining, this New York themed bar and grill provides a stylish, contemporary space to tuck in to some delicious dishes, and if the weather is permitting, the Manhattan-style rooftop bar is a great spot to enjoy a cocktail or two. Visit: Victoria Gate, Eastgate, LS2 7AU - east59th.co.uk"
"East 59th is one of Leeds' swankiest rooftop restaurants and bars, offering views of the city's gorgeous architecture including the historic Kirkgate Market. Grab a space on their outdoor terrace for jaw-dropping vistas, boujee brunch plates, and NYC-inspired cocktails come nightfall."
"What: The sixth floor of Leeds' Trinity Centre might not be where you would expect to find a brilliant brunch, but D&D's Angelica serves exactly that. This isn't the place to go if you're looking for a slap-up brunch as this is very much a stylish restaurant rather than a casual café. However, if you are in the market for something a little bit classy, Angelica's menu features everything from a crayfish and brown butter crumpet to buttermilk banoffee pancakes.Where: Level 6, Trinity Centre, 70 Boar Lane, LS1 6HW"
"Angelica, at the very top of Trinity Leeds, is a luxurious spot at any time of day, but to really get the most out of it we’d recommend visiting at night. Drinking cocktails on their terrace and watching the world go by is an absolute dream, as is their impressive food menu."
"After a busy day shopping in Leeds Trinity, enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks in the sky at Angelica's rooftop bar, with panoramic views across the city."
"There's a lot worth eating at Headrow House's resident restaurant, Ox Club, but you've not really lived until you've eaten their signature wood-fired steak & chips whilst sampling the wares of the Beer Hall. There's just something about eating possibly the best steak of your life from a takeaway box that feels both dirty and decadent at the same time."
"With its Germanic beer hall, swanky redondo beach and that roof terrace for long sunset sessions, Headrow is dating paradise. With buy one get the second for £1 cocktails, you can neck the nerves and maybe even get a snap for the ‘gram. Loved up couples tend to hang here looking smug, so you might as well join in."
"Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city."
"Water Lane Boathouse sits on the banks of the Leeds Liverpool Canal with cracking views over the water. It comes from the team behind Headrow House and Belgrave and it’s cool-as-heck, with original brickwork and minimalist decor. Take a pew in their amazing outdoor area, where you can sit and enjoy one of their many craft beers and artisan gins overlooking the water."
"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."
"For gorgeous riverside views, tasty burgers and pizzas and a whole lotta craft beer, head over to Water Lane Boathouse. Perched on the edge of Leeds' Canal Wharf, this relaxed spot is a guaranteed winner for summertime lunches and after-work drinks."
"This bare, plain drinking space – stripped wooden floor, blue and cream colour scheme, Celtic cross logo – looks a bit like an O'Neill's, but the beer range is worlds away from the Oirish chain. Ten hand-pulls concentrate on Yorkshire and northern breweries, such as Isle of Man outfit Okells (owned by same people as Brigantes' parent company, Market Town Taverns), York Brewery (which Brigantes backs on to), and Great Heck Brewing, a micro much-loved in this part of the world, which produces Mo Hops (half, £1.78), a very interesting supercharged best bitter. Seven keg pumps deliver a mixture of classic continental and innovative craft beers, with a short, solid bottled menu (Nøgne Ø, Flying Dog) further ensuring that every drinker leaves happy."
"On a street that is notorious for its Saturday-night drunken revelry, Brigantes is a wood-panelled haven of peace and sophistication, with hand-pulled ales (mostly from Yorkshire) on tap and a dining room that..."
"A cool cavern for all things South Pacific, Tiki Hideaway is leading the charge when it comes to fruity cocktails and themed fun. Spend an evening sipping on strawberry daiquiris, Long Island ice teas and mai tais."
"A 20th century Art Deco building is the quintessential location to house an art space; high ceilings and streaming light make for the perfect exhibiting set-up. Formerly the Tetley Ale headquarters and now a protected heritage building, The Tetley opened its newly-renovated doors in late 2013. The venue is curated by Project Space Leeds, a charity which facilitates the space to couple the appreciation of the contemporary arts with learning."
"The Tetley is a contemporary art gallery in what was the headquarters of the former Tetley Brewery. The art deco building is in central Leeds features a gallery space, function, rooms, a public bar, and carefully preserved rooms from the old Tetley offices. We hope you enjoyed seeing some of our most treasured buildings from our home city."
"Inspired by the local textile and wool industry, Zizzi is an attention-grabbing hot spot perfect for a quick lunch. Serving fresh, delicious Italian cuisine, Zizzi’s has everything you could ever want, from pasta to pizza!. Indulge in the “Amico” menu and get three courses for £15.95, Friday-Sunday."
"In a similar vein to Almost Famous, the guys at Sweet Pizzasput a sugary spin on what is normally savoury. A Sweet Pizza is a full on, scream and shout, tooth dissolving, decedent dessert. They come with two different bases, depending on how quickly you want to develop diabetes."
"Now open in The Light Shopping Centre, the restaurant highlights a few of the things that have made Le ..."

Enjoy a range of expertly selected gins, as you learn to identify the unique flavours and botanicals in every bottle.”. £25 each, minimum of six per party, maximum of twelve."
"One of the Best Bottomless Brunch destinations in York, located along the city’s busy Stonegate street. Stumble into the Botanist and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a secret garden. Their menu is short and as sweet as their triple-layered french toastie, with veggie and vegans also looked after."
"The Botanist have a fresh new offering for brunch that you can upgrade to bottomless brunch if you would like (and what’s not to like?). You choose a dish from six different sections of the menu – each section has three options."
"This is one of the more traditional all you can eat buffets in Leeds, with an absolutely massive selection of food from every corner of the globe. It’s not fine dining by any stretch, but if you’re after a cheap and cheerful dinner with oodles of choice, you’re definitely onto something. Prowl around their buffet and you’ll find yourself moving from traditional British Sunday roasts to Indian curries, Italian pizza and Chinese chicken wings, all in one go."
