Best Nightlife in Greengates

"What: Another brunch spot from our friends at D&D, this time taking its inspiration from the rooftop bars of New York. There's always a buzz in East 59th whether you come for cocktails in the evening or to feast on eggs and pancakes during the day. If you're looking for a bottomless brunch, this is a particularly great option as you have to pay just £15 per person for an hour and a half of free-flowing drinks."

"When the weekend rolls around, East 59th becomes inundated with daytime revellers getting their fix of free-flowing fizz and brekkie dishes. But it's not just the bottomless brunch that attracts the masses. The rooftop gem also touts citywide vistas that are sure to wow."

"What: Boasting stunning rooftop views of the city, the terrace at Angelica, which sits six floors up in the Trinity Shopping Centre, is one of Leeds' most popular al fresco dining destinations. It might be known predominantly as a bar but the food menu here certainly isn't to be sniffed at. Head here on weekends for a memorable outdoor brunch or treat yourself to a three-course dinner in the evening, with indulgent dishes such as lobster and chips on offer.Where: Level 6, Trinity Centre, 70 Boar Lane, LS1 6HW"

"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."

"Grab a seat on Angelica’s terrace and enjoy a luxurious brunch or two-course lunch with bottomless prosecco for £28.95pp. It’s available every Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm, so you literally have all day. No need to wake up early if you don’t fancy it!"

"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."

"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."

"This charming restaurant housed in a former textile mill serves quality dishes in an adorable setting. It’s the kind of place you can visit with friends, on a date or with your parents at the weekend."

"You'll find a lot to tempt you on the menu at The Reliance, but it's the pig's cheek that I just can't resist every time. Served up with celeriac, black pudding and apple, in their cosy dining room, this dish will make you want to move in. They also cure all their own charcuterie, just as an FYI."

"Home-cured charcuterie boards are what this pub’s most proud of, though you’ll also find soups, sandwiches, snacks and large plates on its menu. The informal pub setting means The Reliance is well-suited to both solo- and group-dining."

"The Reliance is a comfortable-as-old-slippers bar where you can happily while away an afternoon reading or chatting with a Yorkshire beer or good glass of natural wine in hand. Yet it's also one of Leeds' best... North African in Leeds"

"Proof that a pub under the tutelage of charismatic licensees can thrive under any economic landscape, The Maltings celebrates 25 years in the hands of Shaun and Maxine Collinge. You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled into The Old Curiosity Shop when you first enter to an eclectic collection of furnishings and rusting advertising signs from bygone times. The selection of beers is cutting edge though with expertly selected beers from local breweries pushing boundaries."

"This squat, matt-black boozer off Lendal Bridge is easily mistaken for a goth or rockers' pub. In fact, this toasty bolthole (weathered beams, chunky no-nonsense furnishings, rusting tin-plate adverts for Gold Flake tobacco) is one of York's best beer houses. Maltings' seven cask ales include permanent Black Sheep, regular staples such as York Brewery's Guzzler and beers from newer, smaller breweries, such as Coxhoe's Sonnet 43 and Morpeth's Anarchy."

"Located at the foot of Lendal Bridge in the centre of York, this brilliant pub is only a 3 minute walk away from York Station. Voted as Best Pub of the Year in 2015, you’ll find a great selection of pale ales and traditional ciders. The Maltings, formerly known as the Railway Tavern, also offers a tasty pub menu at great value for money, though warning, the Maltings only accept cash!"

"Dakota Leeds is a full-service luxury hotel in Leeds complete with a cocktail bar and brasserie. There’re 84 elegant rooms to take your pick, each with air-con, flat screen TVs with full Sky HD and comple­men­tary toiletries in the en-suite bathrooms. It’s a mere 5-minute walk to the train station and if you arrive by car, there’s 25% discount at the local car park."

"In the heart of the city’s fashionable shopping and restaurant districts, this luxuriously low-key hotel, with its candles, grey-on-grey colours and basement restaurant, has the feel of a private members’ club, albeit a large one."

"Venture out to the leafy suburb of Meanwood, and you may just stumble upon one of the Best Beer Gardens in Leeds. One of the more child-friendly venues on this list, with a dedicated play area, The Beck & Call is the perfect place to bring the little ones to enjoy some time outdoors, whilst mum and dad grab a well-deserved beer from their expansive list. The food on offer spans pub classics, burgers, salads and a cracking Sunday roast, with a separate kids menu to boot."

"This family-friendly pub from the folk behind Belgrave and Headrow House has a massive beer garden in the heart of Meanwood. There are tables all the way around the pub, with heaters and parasols to protect you from the elements. They serve good old fashioned pub grub, from fish finger butties to sausage and mash, or you can tuck one of their massive burgers, served in a brioche bun."

"Beck and Call is the local pub that everyone wishes they lived close to. With its large garden, children’s play area, bright conservatory, and cosy wood panelled bar, it really ticks all the boxes. Better still the menu caters to diners big, little, vegan and otherwise, and is a real celebration of Yorkshire produce."

"A 15-minute walk from the train station, in a former industrial zone where the warehouses are being repurposed as offices and studio spaces, this site is home to the Northern Monk Brewery Co and, on the first floor, a ruggedly handsome tap room. Naturally, Northern Monk’s beers feature prominently (long on flavour, the zesty, citrussy Eternal Session IPA was in great form) but some 20 lines include plenty of space for potent (in all senses of the word) guest beers, most of them also served in thirds. On this visit these included Kernel’s Export Stout, Cromarty Brewing’s fantastic AKA IPA and Magic Rock’s famous, if not notorious, Human Cannonball – dangerously drinkable at 9.2%."

"One of the stars of Leeds South Bank, Northern Monk Old Flax Store brewery beer garden is the perfect place to soak up the rays and a few pints of their world beer cup winning Eternal Session IPA. There’s an ever-changing selection of kitchen takeovers from the area’s best street food traders to soak up all the drinks, not to mention the train station is only minutes away. One of our favourite spots on this side of town. Marshalls Mill, The Old Flax Store, Marshall St, Leeds LS11 9YJ – 0113 2430003"

"A stone’s throw from the train station, Northern Monk is a solid choice, even if you’re not based in the city centre. With street food takeovers on rotation, the kitchen’s always got something to nibble on to soak up all those beers. Just beware, the toilets are unisex, so you might have to time your trips to avoid awkward touch-ups in the mirror…"

"It is a pleasant Sunday afternoon at Quirky Ales and Monkey is starting his afternoon off with a Hip Hop. Is that wise Monkey?"

"Offering a small but perfectly formed food menu, Beer Hawk is a craft beer bar and bottle shop boshing out more than just pints. Chow down on buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches, vegan wings and an array of delicious sides including raclette-covered waffle fries, mac 'n' cheese and mango salads."

"Pitching up on Boar Lane, Beer Hawk has brought a new craft beer competitor to the city. Fronting upwards of 140 different brew, the bar is one of the hops-heads among you, and also offers a small but delicious menu of fried chicken, vegan alternatives and tasty sides."

"Best known for its mega selection of craft brews - the last time we checked it had over 140 - Beer Hawk also whips up tasty burgers. Spend a laid-back evening here with friends sinking pints and chomping on onion rings, vegan duck fries and patties galore."

Once York’s railway headquarters, The Grand is now enjoying a second life as a sumptuous, five-star hotel that ranks among the very finest in the city. This grandiose, Grade II-listed building has much to offer to visitors with an eye for style and luxury: rooms are furnished with a spare, acutely tasteful decor, each with a flatscreen TV and an evening turn-down service."

"York's only five-star hotel is well-named: it offers tip-top service, a good choice of eating options, a spa and a pool. The building's original Edwardian features have been splendidly retained while bedrooms are vast, crisp and uncluttered."

"As the destination restaurant within York’s only five-star hotel, it will come as no surprise that Hudson’s deals exclusively in tasting me ..." Read our full review"

"Based five miles away from the city centre, Village Hotel Leeds North is the perfect spa hotel in Leeds for those who don’t want to be directly in the heart of the bustling city atmosphere. This Leeds spa has everything you need in one place, we’re talking a pub & grill, gym, spa and of course amazing rooms. Take a dip in the heated swimming pool or unwind in the steam room during your stay, then get some rest in your room with premium bedding, a flat screen tv and even Wi-Fi."

"This modern hotel is located in the suburb of Headingley, roughly midway between the city centre and Leeds-Bradford International Airport. It has a certain blandness in terms of décor and atmosphere, but balances this with extensive health facilities including a large swimming pool and a superb gym."
