Our city is bursting at the seems with brilliant late night venues, but now it’s officially been confirmed.
And that’s because a new study carried out by Capital On Tap set out to decipher the cities in the UK with the very best nightlife.
They analysed the number of clubs, bars and pubs per 100,000 people along with their average ratings to see which city we should all be heading to for a proper knees up.
And luckily, we don’t have to go far as Leeds was ranked number two in the top ten list. Get in.
Ranking first was Bath, with 38 clubs and 260 pubs per 10,000 people and an average venue rating of 4.3 out of 5, the historic city seemingly promises an unforgettable night out.
We didn’t come too far behind, though, with 103 pubs and 30 clubs we may have a slightly smaller nightlife scene compared to Bath, but we make up for it with a higher average venue rating of 4.4 out of 5.
Yep, we’ll absolutely take that.
Rounding out the top three is the lively seaside town of Brighton. Famous for its LGBTQ+ friendly venues, Brighton offers 21 clubs and 120 pubs per 10,000 people, paired with an excellent average rating of 4.4 for its nightlife spots.
