Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Notton

"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?"

"East 59th is a New York-style loft with a sun-soaked roof terrace. It’s carpeted in astroturf, covered in leafy plants and decked out in stylish wicker furniture. Settle down in this urban jungle, under the shade of the massive parasols to grab a few drinks."

"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."

"Boasting the high quality restaurant the Ox Club, a beer hall with brews from around the globe and a live music venue. That’s all before you make your way up to Redondo Beach & Roof Terrace; their very own very own cocktail bar that leads out onto the roof terrace complete with kitchen, outdoor bar and sheltered areas with plenty of seating."

"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."

"Overlooking the River Aire at Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse is one of the best alfresco dining spots in Leeds. It’s great when the sun’s shining, but don’t worry, they have heaters and covered seating too. Their menu takes a two-pronged approach – Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza, made in a hand-crafted Italian oven, and juicy burgers, stacked high with everything from Yorkshire beef to Magic Mountains vegan patties."

"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."

"Situated by the canal, in summer this place hosts gorgeous views. A little further out than others, it is worth it as it's perched on the edge of Lock Number One at Leeds' Canal Wharf, and offers some delicious pizza."

"A post shared by The Cross Keys (@crosskeysleeds) on Jul 7, 2017 at 2:41am PDT. Built in 1802, The Cross Keys was a watering hole for local foundry workers, and this city centre venue still retains a country pub atmosphere, with traditional British dishes and beer from local microbreweries. The only Leeds pub in Michelin Guide’s Eating Out in Pubs 2017, inspectors were impressed by the “hearty, straightforward, British cooking” and “popular Sunday lunch” at The Cross Keys, advising diners to book ahead."

"Best known for its craft beer offering (which is back and better than ever), The Cross Keys also does a roaring trade in proper pub grub. Take a pew in their recently refurbished beer garden, complete with heaters and parasols, before exploring their menu. From Monday to Saturday, you can tuck into their classic smash-style burgers – try their cheeseburger, it’s made with homemade burger sauce, or go vegan with a 100% meat and dairy-free imitation that’s just as good."

"Home to one of the biggest and best beer gardens in Leeds, The Cross Keys is bound to be buzzing with punters during the summer months. Make your way to the Water Lane pub and restaurant for gastro bites and charming service while chilling with your mates."

"If spending your evening sat down at a table isn’t really your vibe, then head down to Soul Kitchen for eating, drinking and dancing. The menu is Deep South, Caribbean and Creole cuisine so be prepared for an explosion of flavour and a delicious array of dishes. Soul Kitchen is the place to get drunk and be merry as Wardrobe has regular live music."

"The Wardrobe, now a Leeds institution, has been at the vanguard of the city’s live music scene for well over a decade."

"Ignore those unhealthy supermarket meal deals, give your lunch money to Maxi. Choose between four roast meats with rice and cabbage, add a soy sauce egg on the side, then cover in chilli oil and spring onion oil."

"Boasting the largest collection of tropical plants outside Kew Gardens, Tropical World is also popular for its adorable meerkats, terrapins, turtles, tropical birds and butterflies (which are free to flutter around the attraction). As the name suggests, the tropical origins of its inhabitants mean the attraction is kept warm and humid - but you soon adapt to the balmy setting. Tropical World, Princes Avenue, Roundhay LS8 1DF (within Roundhay Park)."

"Finally, this indoor attraction is home to one of the largest collections of tropical plants anywhere in the UK, and a whole host of exotic creatures including crocodiles, butterflies, piranhas, and meerkats. The different areas will take you on a thrilling journey through mangroves, desert and rainforest, exploring the habitats of some amazing animals. The rainforest canopy and waterfall areas are a particular highlight."

"Just below Tropical World are the beautiful Canal Gardens which again, despite being in the area many times exploring Roundhay Park I had never noticed before I ran past them during a lockdown run. I came back again a couple of weeks later with my new tripod (best purchase!!!) to photograph them. In Spring the rhododendrons are in full bloom in this peaceful place."
