It's time to party at one of Leeds' most beautiful rooftop hangouts.
If you haven't visited Uyare yet, then now is your chance.
Brought to the city by the team behind iconic Indian restaurant Tharavadu, Uyare serves up the rich flavours and spirits of Kerala in a beautiful environment spanning 7,000 sq ft.
Located on top of the luxurious Victoria Gate shopping centre, not only is there a stunning bar area and dining room, but there's also a massive rooftop showcasing jaw-dropping views of Leeds.
This early May bank holiday weekend, Uyare are bringing the ultimate party vibes by giving away 100 complimentary Mango Spritz cocktails on Friday 3 May and another 100 on Saturday 4 May.
That's 200 cocktails in total, all for free.

Opening at 12pm on both days, the free drinks will be on a first come, first serve basis so make sure to get down there early.
Featuring mango vodka, Prosecco and a spiced mango garnish - it's the perfect tipple to get the party going and keep you refreshed throughout the day.
And whilst you're there it would be rude not to sample some of Uyare's incredible food.
On the menu you’ll find all the time-honoured techniques that have earned Tharavadu so much critical acclaim over the last decade, with an array of traditional Keralan dishes.
From small sharing plates to nibble on with a cocktail to a full meal to enjoy as the sun goes down, they've got it all.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your mates and get down to Uyare for the ultimate May bank holiday weekend, we'll see you there.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
Inside the modern Japanese grill coming to Leeds from the team behind Fern Modern Sushi
Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.
