Whether you're looking for a quiet after-work pint or a lively dancefloor, there is something for everyone in the city centre and beyond. These are the 15 best bars and pubs in town according to TripAdvisor reviews.
7. Be At One
The Millennium Square chain was dubbed the 'best cocktail bar ever' by one reviewer. They said: "So many different cocktails to choose from and the atmosphere was electric. The bartenders kept everyone entertained."
8. The Maven
A stylish cocktail joint at the very top of Call Lane, it's worth the slight detour from the beaten path. If you can find the entrance, you can enjoy an array of cocktails in very grand surroundings.
9. Whitelock's Ale House
Does it need an introduction? Leeds' oldest pub, first founded in 1715 as The Turk's Head before being taken over by the Whitelock family in the 1880s. It's still going strong today and has cemented itself in the top 10.
10. Foley's Tap House
Another traditional Leeds watering hole to make the list, Foley's on The Headrow now specialises in craft beer and cider. One reviewer said: "The real ale range is immense, always fresh, always something new on each week"
11. LIVIN Italy
A cosy kitchen, bar and deli under the railway arches at Granary Wharf, with a large outdoor terrace. At certain times, there's even a meat and cheese counter for all-you-can eat nibbles along with your cocktail or glass of wine.
12. Below Stairs
Another 'secret' bar, hidden in the basement of this South Parade block. One reviewer said: "You can see the passion and energy for their work and it shows in both the great atmosphere and the delicious drinks" Photo: Google
