Not being in a relationship sucks sometimes, but it's important to remember one thing: you don't give up. There's plenty of singles hangouts; from sophisticated spots where you can meet like-minded professionals to fun clubs where you can, ahem, 'go on the pull'. And if you're not bothered about finding someone to cuff up with? Check out our pick of the best singles bars in Leeds for a night out on the town with your mates.
Call Lane Social
It's all about socialising at the Call Lane Social. This lively and quirky bar is open until 4am every night of the week, offering up great drinks from skilled bartenders, while surrounded by a cool, clockwork interior. You'll have more than enough to talk about with one of your new friends.
Slug and Lettuce Leeds Boar Lane
A fun a vibrant Leeds bar for singles, Slug and Lettuce is bringing you tasty food, colourful cocktails and weekly deals. Meet your mats here for a happy hour drink, afternoon tea or stylish bottomless brunch.
Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen
If you live in Leeds, you've heard of the Belgrave Music Hall. This institution is three floors of fun, boasting two bars, two kitchens and one of the nicest attitudes around. With everything from live music to art exhibitions and film screenings, there's always something to do.
Dirty Martini Leeds
Dirty Martini is a cool, glamorous bar located on King Street, open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. It's a cool spot to head to if you're single and looking to mingle, and the tipples are affordable too. Head to the glam space decked out with back-lit artwork and plush leather booths and look forward to getting your lips around the likes of espresso and dirty martinis, as well as grapefruit negronis.
Cuckoo
A bar like Cuckoo is a great place to meet new people in Leeds. It's quirky – think neon lights, rainbow colours, and animal heads (…in a fun way) – and it's got drinks ranging from cocktails to craft beer. Add in that signature party atmosphere and you're in for a good time.
The Backroom
With a 1920s luxurious edge and a cool, minimalist appeal, The Backroom is great for singles in Leeds. Perfect for sipping hand-crafted cocktails in one of their booths or storming the dancefloor with your pals, you'll be flirting up a storm with someone in no time.
