Terrace

You're up on Lifton Place in Woodhouse, and you've found the sort of bar that only works because it's unpretentious about what it is. Terrace pulls in everyone from undergrads nursing their first pints to locals who've figured out it's one of the few proper outdoor drinking spots in this part of the city. The whole thing hinges on that rooftop aspect—you're genuinely outside, watching Leeds spread below you, which beats being crammed into another basement boozer on Call Lane. The prices won't bankrupt you either, which helps explain why it's constantly rammed, especially come Friday when the place tips into proper buzzy territory. It's the sort of spot where you can actually have a conversation, or watch the city change colour as the sun drops.
