The Domino Club

You'll find this basement cocktail den down in Grand Arcade, where exposed brick walls and dim lighting create the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to order another round of their seriously good craft cocktails. The Domino knows what it's doing - this isn't some theme park version of a speakeasy, but a proper drinking establishment where the bartenders actually understand what they're mixing. The live music programme is what sets it apart from Leeds' other cocktail spots. Jazz, soul, and blues acts perform regularly on a small stage that somehow doesn't feel cramped despite the intimate space. Come Thursday through Saturday for the full experience, though their Sunday sessions have a mellower charm that works perfectly with their wine selection.
