Jake's Bar & Still Room

Head down Call Lane and you'll find Jake's tucked into the city centre, the kind of place where they actually care about what goes in your glass. The Still Room is their thing—a dedicated space where they're ageing, infusing and experimenting with their own spirits, which means your cocktail tastes different here than anywhere else. It's got that slightly rough-around-the-edges charm of Leeds, nothing fussy, just knowledgeable bartenders and proper drinks. The 3.7 rating tells you it's not flawless, but the loyal crowd keeps coming back because when it works, it really works.
