In a city that boasts an abundance of excellent bars serving cocktails, it’s rather impressive that the hidden-away Mook has become synonymous with mixed beverages and a great night out for those who want to avoid the sweat and standing-room-only vibe of the clubs. The word-on-the-lips for Friday night drinks and sophisticated socialising, the bar has remained unfazed by the recent influx of more experimental cocktail bars in the same area of town. Look out for two-for-one deals, with a double dosage of the extensive menu’s generous classic mixes or clever house tipples available for a fiver.
Whether your palate is partial to a well made mojito or margarita - or something a little more molecular - Leeds' cocktail bars are some of the best in the land, so they should have you pretty well covered. There's variety to go with that quality too, so if you're looking for somewhere seriously swanky or somewhere just that little bit down and dirty where creative concoctions flow like wine, you should be able to find whatever you fancy. We've picked some of our favourite spots below, just in case you need a guiding hand or a little inspiration. Cheers.
