Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Rastrick

"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."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"Serving up American grub and slinky Manhattan-themed cocktails, East 59th is a great choice for places to drink outside in Leeds, thanks to its gorgeous terrace. Be sure to check out its weekend bottomless brunch and enjoy free-flowing booze as you top up your tan."

"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."

"This Trinity Leeds rooftop restaurant boasts panoramic views and sleek interiors. Alongside a variety of fine dining options and an impressive cocktail menu, Angelica transforms into a lively bar when night falls, regularly playing host to club nights, DJ sets and summertime BBQs."

"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."

"With a wrap around terrace and panoramic city views, Angelica is a real show-stopper. Relax in a luxurious setting with a cocktail prepared by one of their skilled mixologists. What better way to spend a summer’s day?"

"Situated in the very centre of this exciting city, Headrow House is a fantastic all-day bar and nightclub that draws inspiration from its history as a former textile mill whilst maintaining a cosy and modern feel with its German beerhall-style seating. Spread out over multiple floors, this venue hosts DJ sets on club nights at the weekend and makes for a great backdrop to an awesome night. Spread out over four floors, this huge space even has two roof terraces where you can enjoy some fresh air and views of the rest of the city!"

"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."

"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."

"Why: If your breakfast quest is in aid of a hangover cure, rejoice, we think we’ve found the one for you. Fress serves up the usual feel-good plates of nutritious fare like avocado on toast and veggie fry up breakfasts for those who behaved themselves last night, but also goes all in on things like a stack of pancakes with crispy belly pork, spicy siracha maple syrup and fried eggs, as well as rich and smoky homemade baked beans with fresh chilli, coriander, poached eggs and the option to add chorizo (which of course, unless you’re veggie, you always do). Consider that sore head, healed."

"Edible petals could be classed as pretentious which I claimed Manchester wasn’t – but I let it off because this brunch was melt-in-the-mouth good. My £9.50 french toast was topped with berry compote, mascarpone ice cream, mint"

"🍰 Pancakes, brownies, a selection of freshly made (huge!) cakes, and even mocktail bubble waffles. Whatever you choose, everything is seriously indulgent."

"Boasting a menu of all the pub classics with ‘fresh modern twists’ and a plethora of delectable ales on tap, the Wheatsheaf is a traditional pub where you can relax and unwind in unpretentious surroundings. One of the best pubs in the Peak District for families, it has a sprawling beer garden complete with an adventure play area, giving parents and carers the chance to kick back while their children play. Just a short drive from Chatsworth House and with plenty of walks in the area, it makes a great stop to round off a lovely day out in the Peak District."

"North Bar was serving wild, innovative beers back when many of today’s craft aficionados were still drinking Carling and, despite fierce competition, it remains Leeds’s pre-eminent craft beer bar. And it’s one that, certainly at weekends, still feels like a boozy, unpretentious late-night DJ bar, rather than a place of arid, uptight beer connoisseurship. From North’s Prototype (a quintessential northern pale ale created with Kirkstall Brewery), to such seldom-seen draft guests as Brewfist’s Bionic or Stone Brewing’s dark kölsch Spröcketbier, you will rarely drink anything here that is less than impressive."

"This narrow bar has long been an institution in Leeds as a haven of international craft beers. It now brews its own under the banner North Brewing Co, and they're rather good. Drink them here, or visit the..."

"Delivering artisanal brews from Europe and the US for over twenty years, beer lovers will be in heaven here thanks to their selection of never-seen-before and very-popular boozes."

"Once the restrictions are lifted, we are available for a range of occasions, for dining, parties, private meals, celebrations and funerals."

"Prashad is a stylish and unique restaurant offering southern Indian and Gujarati vegetarian food. Prashad boasts that they are the only two star AA Indian restaurant in Yorkshire and were runners up in Gordon Ramsay’s best restaurant in 2010. The vegetarian food is tasty enough to make the biggest meat-eaters mouth water."

"The Beach Hut – Vegan Caribbean cuisine. They specialize in Jerk Jack fruit and ital curries and also offer patties, fresh smoothies, vegan cakes and brownies."

"Changing perceptions of what a vegan meal can be, V-Rev is an American-style diner that looks like it’s come right out of a 1950s teen film. The burgers drip all manner of tangy sauces over your fingers, the fries are loaded, the dogs are hot, the mac is (vegan) cheesy and the sandwiches are stacked with goodies. It’s dirty food, but not as you know it."

"This list wouldn’t be complete without V Rev, the restaurant that paved the way for the vegan revolution in Manchester. Whether you’re returning for your favourite ‘Cheez n Baecon’ sandwich, or are eager to try their latest brunch additions, you’ll never be disappointed. You’ll also never leave the place hungry with the size of those portions!"

"If ever there were a name championing the meat-free movement, it would have to be V Rev. Churning out some of the very best vegan food in Manchester alongside independent art to boot, this diner-style restaurant is the place for everything from burgers and bakery bits."

"It’s currently tasting incredibly moreish at @thecrosskeysdunnington #WhosRoundNext?. #Beer #yorkshirebeer #brewedinyorkshire #yorkshirepub #leedsbrewery. A post shared by Leeds Brewery (@leedsbrewery) on Sep 4, 2020 at 8:01am PDT"

"Located about 10 miles from Sheffield, the Elsecar Heritage Railway is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and expansion of one of the area's oldest railway lines. Highlights include an impressive collection of historic locomotives and rolling stock that once belonged to the South Yorkshire Railway. Budding engineers can even learn to drive a steam train through one of the railway's "footplate" courses (they also offer a number of fun themed excursions)."
