It’s official, the UK’s best cocktail bars have been revealed and two of them are right here in Leeds.
We already knew that we had some great cocktail bars, but now it’s been made official – with two Leeds watering holes appearing on next year’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars list.
We’ll absolutely take that.
The prestigious list hasn’t yet given us the official ranking, that’ll come in February, but we do know which 50 bars are in the running with an A-Z list.
Tabula Rasa and Below Stairs have both been included, and it comes as no surprise as both bars are known by locals and tourists alike for serving up innovative and exquisite tipples.
The rankings will be revealed on 11 February 2025 over in London, and we’ll be tuned in to hear what number ranking both bars have been given.
Further afield, Public and the Pearl at Par Hill over in Sheffield have been included as well as Schofield’s Bar, Stray and Speak in Code in Manchester.
The Top 50 Cocktail Bars was first launched in 2018 and showcases the very best in the business, voted for by an academy of industry experts.
Ed Bedington, editor of the Morning Advertiser, which organises the Top 50 Cocktail Bars, said: “We’re delighted to be revealing who’s made the cut for this year’s list. This is always a hotly contested accolade, and there are some amazing bars that make up the best of the best.
“We look forward to revealing where they’ve all placed, and who are winners are for the other categories. The cocktail bar sector is a vibrant space and one that really showcases innovation in the hospitality space. It’s a real honour for us to be able to shine a spotlight on some of the best in the business.”
