Best & Cool Bars in Flockton Moor

"What: Taking its inspiration from the New York nightlife, you'll feel like you've teleported to a Manhattan rooftop when stepping out onto the terrace at East 59th. Contemporary American dishes including burgers and prawns cooked on the BBQ are accompanied by creative cocktails, which can be enjoyed late into the night. Saturday nights see DJs take to the decks on the terrace, making it a particularly great place to come with friends.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"

"Based in the prestigious Victoria Gate, East 59th is a New York-inspired rooftop bar and grill providing superb rooftop views of the city. We’re not surprised that it’s considered to be one of Leeds’ most loved brunch spots, with guests anticipating to experience its buzzing atmosphere and great music every weekend. Brunchers can enjoy eggs all day long, including eggs benedict, eggs royale and scrambled truffle toast."

"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."

"Nestled on the fifth floor of Trinity Leeds, Angelica will cater for all your alfresco dining needs. Their rooftop terrace comes complete with breathtaking skyline views as well as heaters and canopies if the weather demands. They have a tantalising selection of sharing boards and small plates, or you can dive straight in with one of their mains."

"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."

"With a wraparound terrace and panoramic city views, Angelica is a real show-stopper and oh so instagrammable. Relax in a luxurious setting with a cocktail prepared by one of their skilled mixologists. Level 6 Trinity Leeds, 70 Boar Lane, LS1 6HW"

"With successful nights in Manchester and Nottingham, Group Therapy has made quite a mark since October 2016. They’ve quickly become one of the best places to watch comedy in Leeds. You can see them in their home at Headrow House, where they put on stellar performances from the likes of Brendon Burns, Tony Law, Simon Munnery, John Kearns, Andrew O’Neill and Fern Brady already – and there are plenty more to come."

"Headrow House isn’t just one of the coolest bars in Leeds city centre – it also puts on an array of club nights. But while they might fly under the radar, they’re worth checking out. You could spend the night partying in their second-floor gig room, or go along to one of their day and night terrace parties up on the roof."

"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."

"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."

"Canal-side pub and restaurant from the savvy team behind Belgrave and Headrow House, Water Lane Boathouse is a cool spot for dinner with friends, a casual date, or lazy board games on a Sunday afternoon. Their Italian hand-crafted mosaic masterpiece of an oven produces super sourdough pizzas, and the burgers and salads are equally as good. Canal Wharf, Holbeck, Leeds LS11 5PS – 0113 246 0985"

"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."

"This sleek Spanish tapas bar occupies a prime waterfront spot in the Calls Lane area. Sharing tasty morsels in the sun sounds about as Mediterranean as it can get, and there’s a relaxed attitude to dogs, too, with all well-behaved dogs welcomed in the bar area. It goes without saying that their ears will have pricked up on hearing the word “sharing”, and the food itself does little to deter interest."

"The Man Behind The Curtain|Courtesy The Man Behind The Curtain. Ambiente Tapas Restaurant & Sherry Bar is an authentic tapas restaurant overlooking the river Aire. Situated in the historic Calls Landing building, the décor of the former warehouse retains the industrial steelwork, bare floors, and exposed brick work."

"Ambiente in the trendy riverside area of The Calls is the place to go for tapas in Leeds. Lively, vibrant and fun, with knowledgeable staff and a delicious menu. I recommend the sea bream (Dorada de Cadiz), the dessert sharing platter and the extensive wine list."

"OL Horbury is small independent café bar located on the high street in Horbury. We offer a relaxed quirky hygge environment with a large outdoor t..."

"You can play all the games you loved as a kid at 'Press Start Gaming Zone' which is based above MEATliquor. The Leeds city centre attraction is kitted up with 16 consoles and arcade machines. You’ll find classics such as the Sega Mega Drive, Nintendo SNES, GameCube, N64 and various generations of PlayStations and Xbox consoles."

"If Chinese food is what you want, there’s one restaurant to try – Crown Buffet. The name is perhaps a little deceiving because it’s not a buffet – it is one of Leeds’ best all you can eat restaurants though. They’ve got a huge menu, loaded with classic dishes like chow mein, beef in black bean and spring rolls – just order, eat and repeat until you’re full."

"In the near centre of Wakefield sits the magnificent Wakefield Cathedral, or the even grander title of the Cathedral Church of All Saints in Wakefield. Although we owe the Victorians for Wakefield Cathedral’s current appearance, restored and reopened in 1888, it has been a place of worship since the 9th-century, and has even been mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. Today, anyone can come and have an informal, 45 minute tour of this historic cathedral, with no booking required and completely free!"

"Another incredibly old building, Wakefield Cathedral is the tallest church in Yorkshire and has a long and fascinating history. Although it has been developed and rebuilt at various points over the past 900 years, the building which exists today dates back to the 14th century. Its 247-foot tall spire is visible from many of the suburbs of Wakefield and even beyond on a clear day."

"During a four-year stint in America, I ate enough hamburgers to sink the Titanic. My favourite diner was the Silver Top, in Providence, Rhode Island. I would end up there, late at night, frequently a little worse for wear, with two or three friends."

"American-inspired chain diner serving posh hamburgers with a choice of toppings, sides and salads. Byron Burger, High Ousegate, YorkT: 01904 634488"
