A new trendy bar has opened on Hirst's Yard in Leeds.
Offering visitors an "elegant and lavish drinking space" in Leeds city centre, 'The End' bar opened for the first time to the public over the weekend to show off its swanky makeover.
Featuring lavish and plush interiors as well as weekly live entertainment, the new bar space is the result of a complete transformation of a historic building on Hirst’s Yard, of what was previously occupied by Mook Bar.
