Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Tollerton

"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"

"Designed to resemble a New York rooftop bar and restaurant, this stylish hangout celebrates contemporary American dining. This means you can tuck into bottomless brunch from midday onwards any day of the week."

"Address: Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor Rooftop, George St, Leeds LS2 7AU. Phone number: 0113 426 5050. Price: From £29 per person"

"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."

"Trinity Leeds, Albion Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5ER. Boasting panoramic views of the city, this sixth-floor D&D-owned restaurant/bar was made for celebrating. Swanky modern interiors go hand-in-hand with a menu full of international favourites spanning brunch to dinner."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"Water Lane Boathouse is the perfect place to enjoy a few drinks outside in Leeds. Waterfront location, giant beer garden and local breweries on tap make it a surefire winner. There’s plenty of room to settle down on their picnic tables that overlook the River Aire."

"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."

"Another Leeds Bradford airport hotel with parking included is the Britannia Leeds Bradford Airport Hotel. Only a measly 6 minute drive, this Leeds airport hotel is a great affordable overnight stay for families, couples or even busin­es­spe­ople. There are many facilities on-site such as a restaurant which serves up a full English every morning, a café bar with a great range of beverages."

"Sous Le Nez is a charming French bistro based in the city centre. There are many highlights at this low-ceiling restaurant, which impresses with its charming décor and carefully picked, traditional French dishes. For example, there is the award-winning Yorkshire venison haunch steak served with venison sausage, or the succulent seared pigeon breast; alternatively, guests can pick the seared fillet of cod, crab and tarragon crust, or the clams and mussels and samphire in garlic butter."

"York has some fabulously chic Cocktail bars at its heart around The Quarter (the central collection of streets located between Stonegate and Petergate). Bobo Lobo isn’t just one of York’s finest Cocktail bars and grills, it’s also a top venue for private parties and functions with two floors and a DJ on request. Why not make their ‘Cocktail Mixology Master Class’ part of your private party!"

"Veggies don’t have to miss out on a good old fashioned chippy tea, thanks to JJ’s Vish and Chips. There’s no actual fish on the menu, instead, you can try deep-fried fillets of Tofish, made from tofu, or Vish, made from banana blossom. But that’s just the start, because they do meat-free versions of all the classics, including Sosage, Scam-pi and Fricken Nuggets."

"Chippy food can often be pretty boring when you’re veggie or vegan. You’re sort of limited to chips and a veggie burger if you’re lucky. Well, that’s about to change for you, as at JJ’s the entire menu is vegan friendly."

"A veggie and vegan paradise, this little deli-restaurant is strictly meat-free. Our personal favourite is the house Goji burger; a mushroom burger loaded with halloumi, salad and sweet potato wedges. There’s a sumptuous selection of cakes and little bits in the deli and even a breakfast menu, should you want to swing by on the way to work."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Goji Café is a vegetarian café that also offers plenty of vegan dishes. Chef Wendy used to be a painter and now has a personal goal to make the customers’ day better by providing healthy food."

"Goji Cafe’s food is vegetarian, wholesome, nutritious and lovingly prepared from start to finish with many vegan options. We are passionate about the quality of our dishes. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm."

"Another small spot (it might be worth booking ahead) with mouth-watering vegetarian food, Roots & Fruits has been a favourite of vegetarians in Leeds for 25 years, tucked inside the beautiful Grand Arcade. Choose from a variety of classic dishes such as veggie lasagne, falafel or a variety of vegetarian burgers, alongside a rotating array of specials and the taste medley of the jerk jackfruit. If you’re not feeling particularly peckish, this is also a great spot to pop in for a light bite or a delicious cake and a cup of coffee."

"Roots and Fruits is a plant-based café, located in the stunning Grand Arcade in Leeds city centre. Their menu is mainly vegan but does have some vegetarian options, with fairtrade coffee accompanying their tasty food, the vast majority of which is made completely from scratch. Order a vegan or vegetarian breakfast and get a complimentary coffee or pot of tea with it."

"Catch is a modern fish restaurant with a menu of tasty classics and creative twists. Of course, you can get all your battered favourites to takeaway – their whopping king-sized haddock fillet is a must-try for all fish & chip fiends – but they also do a medley of more refined seafood dishes in the restaurant. Expect plates of crisp tempura tiger prawns, aromatic monkfish curries and smoky seafood grills."

"09/05/2021: We found this little chippy during a lockdown walk. We only live a few miles away but had never come across it. We now don’t go anywhere else."

"Situated on Leeds Road, Creme de la Creme is every chocoholics dream, the parlour itself is a quirky and unique space with booths to sit and enjoy your chosen delights. Choose from luxurious cakes, rich and thick freakshakes, freshly made crepes and pancakes, fluffy waffles, ice cold sundaes, hot cookie dough, sweet little macaroons and an excellent selection of hot and cold drinks."

"They’re currently running a reduced menu, but still have loads of different sundaes to tempt you in, from classics like the Banana Split, with strawberry slices, vanilla ice cream, syrup and sprinkles, to the Mango Mania, with Alphonse mango ice cream, fruit pieces and mango syrup."
