Tiki Hideaway

2 for £15 cocktails till 9pm! and 2 other offers

Okay, so Polynesian-inspired Tiki Hideaway is a little more fun than romantic. But if you're the kind of couple to forgo the mush, then this Call Lane venue is for you. There's cutesy booths, puffer fish lights, authentic South Pacific furniture, and bartenders wearing Haiwiaan shirts who'll set your cocktail alight in front of you.

Veeno Leeds

Lay on the charm offensive with a trip to Veeno, a classy wine bar renowned for having some of the world's best bottles. Make a special night of it with their tasting experiences, offering five different glasses for you and your beau, accompanied by a sharing platter and tiramisu.

Shears Yard

Shears Yard may look unassuming from the outside, but step inside and you'll find a gorgeous bar and restaurant. Setting the scene with cool interiors, the Wharf Street eatery is sure to please with a seasonal drinks menu and homemade liquors. Plus, there's an outdoor terrace for the warmer months.

The Watermark

A heavyweight in Leeds' cocktail scene, The Watermark is offering two different date night spaces for the price of one. Upstairs, comfy couches and tables are matched with a menu of classic cocktails, small plates and charcuterie boards. Whilst downstairs, you'll find a more slinky scene and a selection of highball or lowball libations.

Chef Jono at V&V

Searching for a romantic bar in Leeds? Having been named as the 9th best cocktail den in the country, Vice & Virtue is an obvious choice. Drinks are whipped up from locally-sourced and foraged produce, while the interiors have been inspired by the Prohibition.

Blind Tyger

If your other half is a cocktail enthusiast, look no further than Blind Tyger. Bartenders at this Victorian-themed joint are serious pros, using some of the world's best ingredients to whip up incredible concoctions. Expect unusual mixes like a blackberry and rosemary Tom Collins or an Espresso Martini with sherry, bananas and chocolate. 

SkyLounge

Classic drinks, chic furnishings and cityscape views to boot; SkyLounge is, arguably, the fanciest rooftop. Situated on the 13th floor of the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, this popular spot is ideal for a sunset date, whether you're working your magic on the outdoor terrace or one of their tables.
