Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Luddenden

"Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August."

"Bundobust is another one of these underdogs which is completely turning the concept of ‘fine cuisine’ entirely on its head. No longer does good food feel the need to be served on white table clothes on fine Bone China and washed down with a 2005 Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Nowhere teaches us this lesson better than Bundobust with its 100% vegetarian Indian street food served in paper trays, paper cups and with as much craft beer as you can pour down your gullet."

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"East 59th’s jungle-like roof terrace is blessed with south-facing views over the city’s skyline, which you can take in at your leisure over dinner, and if the weather doesn’t play, you can cosy up under their heat lamps and parasols to keep warm. From the East Cheeseburger to the Seafood Platter, they have a menu of New York-inspired eats to fill your belly. Fancy something lighter?"

"Address: Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor Rooftop, George St, Leeds LS2 7AU. Phone number: 0113 426 5050. East 59th boasts a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop restaurant, where you can drink and dine in style."

"Nestled on the fifth floor of Trinity, Angelica is one of the best rooftop bars in Leeds. You can look out across the city from one of their stylish metal tables or luxurious outdoor sofas, which are all kitted out with parasols and heat lamps. Wine is what they do best."

"You probably know Angelica best as a gorgeous rooftop cocktail bar, but you'd be missing out if you didn't check out some of the edible delights that are on offer here. Gaze over the city as you enjoy Josper-grilled steaks, decadent burgers, whole lobsters and more."

"A classy rooftop bar, make your way to Trinity and head six storeys up. Said to boast sophisticated cocktails, the atmosphere here is a calm one and again has some picture-perfect views."

"Headrow House isn’t just one of the coolest bars in Leeds city centre – it also puts on an array of club nights. But while they might fly under the radar, they’re worth checking out. You could spend the night partying in their second-floor gig room, or go along to one of their day and night terrace parties up on the roof."

"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."

"Belgrave's sister bar Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city."

"A quintessentially British garden bar in Hardman Square, The Lawn Club offers a wonderful selection of cocktails, craft beers and wines in addition to a delicious breakfast, brunch and dinner menu. Bookings are capped at 6 guests with the option to reserve a seat on the heated terrace or inside a Lawn House or Lawn Pod."

"Set in the heart of Spinningfields, The Lawn Club is maximising its outside space, with bookings now available for their lawn houses, pods and terrace. With some of Manchester’s best cocktails and an atmosphere to match, you don’t want to miss it. Reopening soon… 🥂 pic.twitter.com/9LqDGTeryq"

"After expanding its outdoor seating area ahead of reopening, The Lawn Club has made the decision to allow walk-ins from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information on the website here."

"Born in 1995 and taking place every Saturday at Mint Lounge in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter to a consistently full house, Funkademia is said to “feed a friendly crowd with a diet of pure unadulterated soul-funk”. Billing the night as a “chronological history of soul”, there is a collective of talented DJs taking you on a journey through four decades of the very best soul, funk, disco and hip-hop, with a touch of smooth R&B and big house classics. You can find out more about Funkademia and grab tickets here."

"Mint Lounge goes so hard on the smoke machine that if you part with your mates you'll never find them again - but low visibility is soon forgotten once you hear the sounds of its legendary Funkademia club night. Funk, soul and disco are blasted out at this Northern Quarter institution every Saturday, and have been for donkeys - it's Manchester's longest-running club night. 'Seated sessions' started a couple of weeks ago but the Funkademia dancefloor will be back on Saturday July 24."

"Renowned for a ‘no nonsense’ approach to clubbing, Mint Lounge is a sticky-floored student staple. Its nights range from Drum n Bass to cheesy pop. There is something for everyone and plenty of cheap drinks."

"This award-winning craft beer bar is situated in the relaxing Spring Gardens. There, you’ll find an array of incredible beers in a wide variety of styles, ranging from the hoppiest of ales straight through to the dark and sour Jolly Pumpkin specials. Their beer list is almost too extensive to make sense of, so it’s best you head there yourself and start to sample all of their delicious craft beers."

"The Lime Tree is an independent restaurant that Specialises in Mediterranean cuisine and pride themselves on extraordinary food with unbeatable prices!. With a great takeaway menu offering vegetarian, meat and seafood dishes, there is something for everyone!. They are offering a collection or delivery service Wednesday to Sunday 5pm - 9pm and have an option of a 2-course meal deal, so don’t miss out!"

"With it Tex-Mex menu, it is a fantastic restaurant and bar which hosts 5 full length ten pin bowling lanes within the same venue, so you can eat, drink and play all within the same building. Part of Black Dog Ballroom, Dog Bowl is a quirky and unique venue that’s guaranteed to add a little fun to your Manchester stag weekend…. Nothing beats a little competitiveness between friends,"

"Keep things fun and casual on a quirky Manchester date with Dog Bowl. Not only can you knock back craft beers and ample American bites, their state of the art bowling alleys are sure to keep you busy (and a little competitive) well on into the night."

"With half price offers for students, this is a date night spot that you’ve just got to try. Loser buys the next round of drinks?. View this post on Instagram"

"From Wednesday May 19, the stunning Whitworth gallery will be partially reopen to the public, with a film screening of Imran Perretta: the destructors on display. The cafe will be back open too, but the full gallery will be up and running again by July 1, in time for its MIF21 summer exhibition. Plan your visit at whitworth.manchester.ac.uk/visit."

The Whitworth Café, Art Garden and Collections Care Centre are also open from 19 May to 1 July. The rest of the gallery remains closed while the next exhibitions are installed, following COVID-19 safety guidelines."

"Part of the University of Manchester, The Whitworth acts as a bridge between the university and the people of the city by providing a space to meet, play and learn. The gallery has been named Best Emerging Cultural Destination in Europe and includes gallery spaces, a study centre, learning studio and collections centre."

"The undisputed home of contemporary art in the region, Leeds Art Gallery is the go-to place for a little artistic stimulation in the North. The building is one of the most recognisable in the city, and its Victorian clock tower remains synonymous with Leeds’ historic skyline. Dubbed a collection of “national importance,” the museum displays work from award-winning artists labelled a stroke of genius, to understated masterpieces from emerging talents with considerably less exposure."

"Leeds Art Gallery showcases modern and contemporary art with its permanent collection and temporary exhibits. It hosts a range of events, such as art spaces for children, lunchtime talks and special exhibitions. It is also home to the Tiled Hall Cafe, a Victorian Hall with magnificent architecture, full of columns and a beautiful ceiling design."

"Leeds Art Gallery boasts a stunning glass roof, one of the most impressive collections of 20th Century British art and a colourful new wall painting commission for the Victorian staircase by Lothar Götz – the perfect selfie backdrop. The Headrow, LS1 3AA"

"Cartwright Hall is the public art gallery in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, situated about a mile from the city centre in the Manningham district. It was constructed on the previous site of Manningham Hall using a gift of £40,000 given by Samuel Lister and it is named after Edmund Cartwright. The gallery which opened in 1904 originally had a exhibition of artworks loaned from other galleries and private collections until it was able to purchase a permanent collection of Victorian and Edwardian works using money raised by the 1904 Bradford Exhibition."
