Best & Cool Bars in Kippax

"What: This trendy New York style rooftop bar and restaurant is a great spot in which to start the weekend, particularly when you factor in its fantastic bottomless brunch. Here you can feast on the likes of avocado on toast, eggs cooked in various ways, and burgers, all while enjoying free-flowing bubbly or Bloody Marys for 90 minutes. It’s worth noting that East 59th’s weekend bottomless brunch is popular with groups and parties, so it’s best to book ahead.Where: East 59th, 47 Victoria Gate, Leeds, West Yorkshire, 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."

"From sweet crêpes to fluffy American pancakes and authentic Breton galletes, there’s so many options you’ll be positively spoilt for choice. If you’re after something savoury, you can get a gallete with cheese, creamed spinach and Lishman’s ham."

"If you want to know where all the beautiful people of Leeds head when the sun shines, then take a trip to Angelica. Located in Trinity shopping centre, this rooftop bar and garden is the closest you’ll get to Ibiza without hopping on a plane. With panoramic views of Leeds, plush white furniture, and a stunningly curated cocktail list, Angelica brings the glamour."

"Imagine, you’re sat up at the top of the Trinity Centre in a room surrounded by glass windows at night, with a cocktail in your hand and a beautiful panoramic view of the whole city. That’s what you’ll find in Angelica. Mixing modern day architecture and a pewter bar with a bright and airy design they act as one of the best cocktail destinations in Leeds."

"Set high in the Leeds Trinity Building, Angelica is a mainstay when it comes to Leeds restaurants with views. Given its high position, both the indoor and outdoor dining spaces look over the city, making date night all the more special."

"When it comes to alfresco dining and sunshine drinks, the team behind Headrow House, Belgrave, et al, have most definitely raised the bar, quite literally. Their rooftop ‘beer garden’ is one of the go-to destinations when the sun makes an appearance. With a stellar selection of craft beers and cocktails together with 2020’s foodie revelation ‘Spitz Kebabs’ from Ox Club."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"With a range of craft beers from all over the UK, Water Lane Boathouse knows a thing or two about ice-cold summer sips. Perched on the edge of the canal, this gorgeous space is the perfect place to soak up a few rays with a pint in hand."

"03/06/2021: We had a wonderful evening celebrating a birthday. The food was delicious, especially the scallop starter. Our steak mains also didn't disappoint."

"A friendly, traditional coaching inn on a main street in the centre of Pickering. Inside it's all dark wood furniture, low-slung beamed ceilings and cheerful locals with dogs propping up the bar. A smart, stone-flagged restaurant and glass-walled ‘bothy’ lend a stylish air but the overall ambience is unstuffy and relaxed."

"Transporting you back in time, Flares nightclub is the place to go for 90s tunes and throwback fun. When it comes to nightclubs in York, don’t take Flares to seriously as it’s all about the cheesy music and colourful dance floor. This is the perfect venue for a girls night out or hen party where you want to dress up and singalong to hit songs and musical numbers."

"One of the city’s most impressive landmarks, Leeds Minster was built in 1841 on an ancient, holy Christian site. It’s a beautiful, Grade I listed building, designed by Robert Chantrell, with huge stained glass windows by a range of high profile artists, including Schwanfelder, David Evans, Thomas Wilmshirst and most recently Sally Scott. You’ll also find The Leeds Cross inside – it dates back to the 10th century, making it one of the earliest objects in the city’s history."

"Leeds Minster belongs to the Church of England foundation and holds a lot of architectural and liturgical significance. Although the present structure is a Gothic Revival one, dating from the mid-19th century, yet its site bespeaks of church presence ever since 7th century. The church is dedicated to Saint Peter and has been designated a grade I listed building by&...Read more"

"You probably wouldn’t expect one of Leeds’ best-regarded Italians to be tucked away in a pub in Rothwell, but that’s exactly where you’ll find Salute at The White Swan. It’s smart dining, with a focus on quality – expect rustic dishes like Pollo Crème, Braised Chianti Beef and Chicken & Chorizo Risotto, alongside the usual pizza and pasta dishes. You can see why folk are willing to travel from all over for a bite to eat here."

"If you’re in the mood for Italian, a trip to Salute at the White Swan is an absolute must. They’ve refurbished the terrace, so you can cosy up for an alfresco feast amidst the heat lamps and string lights, as well as creating a new outdoor dining area on the grassy strip around the restaurant. This is tasty, wholesome Italian fare, cooked to perfection."

"The pub is tucked away next to the City Varieties Music Hall in Leeds city centre. Rated 4.5 on Tripadvisor, reviewers said the pub caters for both couples and families. Highchairs are available"

"Cona is located in little Germany, Bradford The experience at Cona begins in understated surroundings that is inviting and welcoming, a space that celebrates the simplicity of good ingredients in both the kitchen and the dining environment."

"The patty slingers are whipping up all things comfort food, with an extensive and quirky selection of chicken, beef and vegan chows, alongside boozy slushies and shakes."
