It described The Maven as a "hidden gem" with judges saying: "The Maven is a classic prohibition-era inspired cocktail bar located close to the Leeds Corn Exchange behind an unlabelled black door.
"Not only is this bar well hidden, it is also relatively inexpensive, with cocktail prices ranging reasonably between £8 and £10."
The Maven was the only Yorkshire bar to make the top ten list and one of only four Northern bars to feature.

Shyam Lakhani at The Bottle Club said: “In a world dominated by social media stories and online advertising, many are drawn to the idea of exclusivity.
"Providing what the consumer craves through secrecy and rarity, the ‘speakeasy’ drives our deepest desire to uncover the mystery, discover the story for ourselves and be part of a premium experience, all at once.”
