It’s known for its extensive cocktail menu, so get ready for classic concoctions and experimental creations."

"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.

"It's not hard to see why Angelica is regarded as one of Leeds' best rooftop restaurants. Along with a mouthwatering menu of fine dining dishes, a beautiful sky-high terrace and a stellar selection of cocktails, the Trinity haunt boasts enviable views across the city."

"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."

"A classy rooftop bar, make your way to Trinity and head six storeys up. Said to boast sophisticated cocktails, the atmosphere here is a calm one and again has some picture-perfect views."

"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."

"The first promises long benches, collapsible parasols and overhead heaters, with a toe-tapping soundtrack provided by live DJs. The second is another floor up, with a mix of covered huts and open benches ripe for the picking. This is craft beer heaven, so expect local and global favourites."

"A former textile mill and one-time grotty dive pub, the historic building that now houses Headrow House was given a hefty makeover to transform it into the four-floor nightlife venue it is today."

"What: If you don't mind drifting out of the city centre a bit and over the river, Water Lane Boathouse is well worth the walk. Sitting right on the waterfront in Holbeck, it's home to one of Leeds' biggest beer gardens and serves a number of different craft beers from various local breweries. If the idyllic location and drinks menu wasn't enough already, there's also a mouthwatering pizza and burger menu on offer her."

"Sitting on the banks of the River Aire, Water Lane Boathouse has gone to great lengths to get the best gin they can find. They have a wide range of well-known names, each of which have their own tonic and garnish. Try Pink Rives with Mediterranean tonic, strawberry and basil or Caorunn with tonic, red apple and raspberries – they’re perfect for sitting out in that impressive waterside beer garden under the sunshine."

"A stone’s throw away from Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse overlooks Leeds canal and is a great place to visit on a sunny day. They have a spacious water-facing patio, as well as seating inside and upstairs, meaning you’ll never feel too crowded."

"FireLake Grill House and Cocktail Bar is a stylish restaurant located in Leeds city centre within Radisson Blu hotel. The menu incorporates fresh and local produce wherever possible and draws upon the flavour of the flame; combining the mid-west traditions of open-flame cooking with the art of cocktail creation. 20% off food & drink at FireLake for First Direct Arena customers*"

"There are so many beers and ciders at The Beer House that I struggled to decide what to order. For the first round, I went for something that I was familiar with, a Strongbow. Later on, I tried another fruity cider called Rekorderlig, which I recommend if you like sugary drinks."

"Situated in the cobbled streets of Harrogate’s historic Montpellier Quarter, Drum and Monkey has been a firm favourite with locals and seafood lovers for over 30 years. Our continued commitment to fresh, local produce and sustainable seafood is apparent in our regionally inspired dishes. Our focus is seafood prepared with expertise but without pretention."

"Head to The Drum & Monkey in Harrogate and taste some of the best seafood in Yorkshire. Share some oysters with friends, indulge in a succulent Lobster Thermidor or opt for a tempting dish from the restaurant’s a la carte menu. The eatery also offers a superb selection of desserts and a varied wine list."

"Wild caught haddock, cooked in a secret recipe batter and paired with fresh, hot chips fried in beef dripping. If that doesn’t make your mouth water, nothing will. The Skyliner fish and chip shop is a firm favourite with locals."

"29/05/2021: Brought my Nanny for her first meal out after the lockdown at the grand age of 90 years!. What a wonderful experience!. The food was incredible and we were served by Ella who was an absolute delightfull young lady!"

"Lotte Inch Gallery first came to York in 2012 in the form of a pop-up art gallery space – but many glorious years later and after several small pop-up exhibitions, the gallery moved from its previous space near York Minster to its current location in bustling 14 Bootham. The eponymous Lotte comes from a background in Art History and Heritage, having worked for The National Trust; Scampston Hall and Gardens; and The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery at The University of Leeds, amongst others – making her a mastermind when it comes to art. The gallery is the ideal place to discover new artists, designers and makers, alongside established names and figures, hoping to be a “welcoming and inclusive place with a regularly changing programme of exhibitions."

"Blossom Street Gallery, which makes its home in the historic Micklegate quarter of the city, was conceived to bring local artists and creatives together in a central space and provide an opportunity for Yorks’ residents and visitors to enjoy local artwork. Blossom Street hosts regular exhibitions with notable artists, predominantly from Yorkshire but sometimes from a little further afield. They aim to offer art which everybody can enjoy – from original pieces, to prints, to handcrafted and design-led gifts and cards, and innovative framing options and supplies."

"Spark is a relatively new addition to the city of York but it’s certainly one that’s been welcomed with open arms (at least by me). Offering a vast selection of different cuisines, as well as gorgeous seating areas and unique shipping containers disguised as shops and food stalls, Spark is a great place to grab some pictures."

"Sparks is a relatively new addition to York and it has quickly become known as a local hotspot. Popular with everyone, Sparks has loads of different food spots but if you’re vegan or veggie, head straight to Donner Summer’s for kebabs, hot dogs and more."

"Spark:York is proud to always offer an eclectic mix of food and drink from around the world. Showcasing a fantastic range of local and independent businesses. Enjoy a deliciously fruity peach bellini served by the piano at Bohemian Bar."
