The Rooftop at East Parade in Leeds

Went for drinks after work on a Thursdsy night, they've just revamped it and yes it looks nice, with new sheltered seating for the colder moths, but they had one person on the bar. it was taking over half an hour to get served. The manager was just sat about not helping, poor kid on the bar was trying his best but had his hands tied behind his back. This was meant to be their big renovation opening, what a wasted opportunity.

Chloe and Alex were so friendly, personable, helpful and amazing!will be coming back! We didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food!

Rude staff with no customer service. Left us stood at the bar for 10 minutes being ignored whilst 2 people serving other customers walking up to the bar after us. when we asked if they were serving they shrugged and told us they had closed that half of the bar (3 steps away from where they were). Nothing to indicate that to us whilst being ignored. Would not recommend and would not return. Just a blatent lack of courtesy or customer service. There are lots of other fantastic bars in Leeds I would rather spend time

Great. No matter if the sun shines or not, but the sun does make everything even better. Great time @IF Up North roof top, for a casual afternoon or special night. Check the Insta Bio for the door code and remember to press # before the number. Doubled in size since we first came pre-pandemic! Sensible prices but squeeze plastic glasses.... but we are on the roof !

Great views, expensive drinks though! £10 for a cocktail

Women with green hair behind the bar , wouldn’t replace a dodgey pint. It tasted very off, she didn’t care. Wouldn’t recommend for service but would recommend for atmosphere.

The best thing is the beautiful sun beaming down on you, with a view of city hall. The opening hours are really early though, and the offerings are pretty basic. When I went the barman was having a free drinks himself (good on him) but wasn’t able to make any cocktails there than Aperol. It’s worth a visit purely for the access to the sun.

Had the best service from becca and dan! Thank you!

Becca and Dan are the best!! They made me have the best time so appreciative of them xx

Beca was so sweet and accommodating best bar service and the rooftop is so cute

Our two servers, Dan and Beca, were very friendly and charming, cannot recommend coming here enough

Absolutely cracking little bar, I really wanted a good bar in the sun for this lovely weekend so had a scout on google to find this place. Right in the centre and can see the town hall from all seating near enough, lovely rooftop views and plenty of spots in the sun around dinner time. Sun trap would be an understatement, it’s right in the sun and was great for being in the sun. Drinks are a little bit on the expensive side as it was around £6 a pint but to pay for being in the sun was more than worth is. The bar staff were super polite and really nice, had a good crack with us and a laugh. Very fast service and beer was lovely and cold. Very clean everywhere and toilets were immaculate, love all the wooden furniture all the way round.

Amazing bar, DJ some times. Nice view

Great experience at IF Up North with Steve but especially Luke, they were fantastic and made our night spectacular in Leeds! Thank you so much and what a way to get the night started

Thank you for a lovely evening! The food was delicious! Service was brilliant!

bryan is excellent with customer service

Nice place to chill with friends.

Really liked the place. It is tiny but if you are able to nab a place before it gets crowded, you're in luck. They don't have a lot of options for drinks, but they're okay. It's not a huge operation

Fajne miejsce jak jest ładna pogoda , trochę ciężko trafić . Ale polecam 🙂

Nice new find in Leeds. Was very quiet but lovely atmosphere. Drinks standard prices.

Great spot when you find the entrance! Spoiler it's round the back! Frozen margaritas were amazing!

Great place because the weather was banging good company but you need the secret code.

Good drinks, loads of great deals and the staff were super chatty and friendly :-)

Great drinks, service and music x

As always, loved coming here over the most recent summer. Always friendly and best views in town.

best kept secret in Leeds, almost dont want to review in case it gets too busy! great beers and pizza, massive sun trap. brilliant

ace place for drinks and sunbathing

Leo and Georgia are amazing!! Fantastic service, handsome and pretty, changed our lives. From table 14.

Great location when the weather is fine. Top tip... take the loft rather than the stairs.

Friendly staff, nice vibe, good music with lovely views across Leeds, ideal for a warm summer days.

Great outdoor bar. Be prepared to order/ pay for drinks via an app! Staff were great.

Great ambience and service. Nice place to chill out. But it's fenced all around so you don't get full view of the city. But you can still have a good time

Despite the negatives, this is one of my favourite places. It’s hard to find and the drinks menu is limited. Drinks are ordered via your phone and I feel a bit hesitant having to fill in all my personal details to order a drink. But it is a fabulous place to chill and chat over drinks in the sun with great views of the city.

really nice atmosphere great for a sunny day great for pictures

Lovely roof top bar, you wouldn't think you were in Leeds Centre. Great small selection of drinks- fast service Relaxed atmosphere

Great tunes, clean and well kept venue, Georgia and the the staff up there were amazing and looked after us so well, a must visit at this (not so) secret spot in Leeds!

Excellent place for some casual drinks

Great evening at the rooftop bar. Little cold bit really good vibe

Visited on a Sunday and because it was overcast it wasn't particularly busy. They had a good amount of seating and some undercover with heaters (which was lovely!). Not a huge drinks selection but they serve Camden so I was pretty happy. Would definitely visit again!

An amazing place to have some drinks with mates. A nice view that can see the Leeds town hall. Friendly, polite and helpful staff. People there generally are warm and friendly.

Can't fault the staff or the building. Absolutely love it. One of the best places to work/chill in Leeds in my opinion.

brilliant hidden gem City centre rooftop bar 🍸

Quick and friendly service with delicious pizzas 🤓👍

Friendly bar staff really do make the difference for me. Quick service and a nice selection of beers. Very close to our office so it’s always good for an after work drink on a Friday,

Good grub *tick* Good selection of drinks *tick* GREAT staff *tick* Community feel *tick* Live music *ticket* Comedy *tick* Favourite social in town, particularly fond of the guy behind the bar, Dru :)

Good beer if somewhat expensive.

Super night of comedy Great compere and 3 acts All brilliantly funny

This place is so good to a point where I've had a meeting and brunch here three times in under a month. Straight up, the Social Club with soup is one of my favourites and a must-have. Staff are extremely lovely, shoutout to Andrew who always makes my cup of flat white just the way I like it - also a babe! The prices are also extremely reasonable compared to similar places in the financial district and just as good, if not better! It's a great spot for drinks with friends too on the rooftop. I'll most definitely be there basking in the sun during the summertime. x (e)P/s: it's a dog-friendly restaurant and bar so BONUS

Great place for meetings & coffee

Really nice place for a breakfast meeting. Good service while also being offered the right level of privacy. Enjoyed the scrambled duck egg and salmon dish while my companion rated the veggie full breakfast. Will be back again to try more of the menu.

I love visiting East Parade Social, it's always a nice environment and a great coffee! Staff are really friendly too.

Love this place, great food and cocktails

Lovely mellow place. Love the happy hour.

Serives here is absolute the worst in Leeds. And please avoid eating here, you'll get sick. Horrible horrible place.

Heard good things about this place so came down, they'd just put a new menu in place so I ordered the steak & noodles with a flatbread. Food arrived hot, great presentation and was cooked from fresh. The Staff are super friendly and the prices are good too! :)

Was good food and beers, almost despite the Barclays-sponsoredness. Table tennis was a nice touch. Wanted to visit for a while, was worth the wait!

Been here quite a few times for work related events. If there's food it's always awesome. Also been here plenty of times for coffee/drinks and food with friends or work colleagues. Awesome coffee although I'd quite like a long black on the menu...(fussy I know, sorry). Food has been spot on too. Friendly bunch of folk. 😊 👌I'm sure you'll keep seeing me around.

Excellent spot for a working coffee or indeed something stronger! Great out of office location for an informal meet up. Its business focused, but the space is just a great place to simply meet up.

Popped in here for the first time early one morning. Great service and really nice hot coffee. Poached eggs on toast were lovely. Highly recommended.

Visited a number of times and always been happy. Came with a group of friends over the weekend and had brunch which was lovely and have been served a number of times by Anya who is brilliant!! Different experience when I came on Tuesday after work and ordered a glass of red wine, had a weird smell and tasted off, I took it back and the guy behind the bar was obliging, however what I can only assume was the manager (girl with pink hair) came over and interrupted by saying "we cant just give you another because it's not to your taste" I explained that it wasn't to do with my taste, it was the fact it was quite clearly off, the guy then told me it was from the end of the bottle and couldn't tell me how long it has been sat there. The manager then rudely said if he wanted to replace the glass of wine then it was his decision and proceeded to walk away!! The new glass was from a fresh bottle and it was perfect! (my case in point) There were 4 of us and we were going to eat but all of us agreed that her attitude didnt encourage us to stay so we drank up and left and went somewhere else for food and more drinks - the manager just lost over £100 in takings due to her her rudeness. Im really disappointed as I love this place, it has the best playlist in Leeds and the food is good but the girl with the pink hair will stop people from returning. Shame. Make Anya the manager, she is really great!

I have been to East Parade Social on numerous occasions from holding meeting or just having after work drinks . The staff are always friendly and always go out of their way to make you feel welcome and help anyways they can. Great selection of drinking from a good strong brew to wonderful cocktails and beer. The food never disappoints. Fresh and tasty with a great range for everyone what more can you ask for. This is TRULY one of Leeds hidden gems in the financial quarter. Oh and how did I nearly forget their amazing rooftop bar.

Really like this space - based in an office but with a very relaxed feel. Music is good, and most importantly, food is really fresh and tasty. Had a hummus and halloumi sandwich, and a flat white. Would definitely recommend, rooftop bar is a must too.

Visited here the food was not up to scratch it was cold and had to be sent back,it come back out again and looked like it was just slapped on the plate no presentation at all for the amount it cost, i asked to speak to the manager a lady came over and was very abrubt and rude, made me feel very uncomfortable being there, the bar staffs abusive language to each other was very unprofessional for a establishment like they advertise for! so i just paid and left, and i will not be returning, would not reccomend this place, in all honesty mc donalds is much better!

Can't get enough of the breakfast yoghurt and Granola.

Went for after works on Monday - loved the place. Great local drink selection and good food when to go alongside, loved the nachos - but I would say I would prefer if they had more of a kick!!!! I like my food HOT HOT...

Really good food ( especially for vegans) with reasonable prices. I ordered the Buddha bowl (I actually received the wrong one, but didn't mind too much) and Buddha bowls are often tiny with a table spoon of rice, veg etc. This one was a good sized meal and filling. The atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. I would go back.

Good prices, good selection of beers and friendly staff 😊 rooftop terrace is ideal for warm summer days!

Love this place, it has really good vegan and veggie options. The bar staff are always friendly, especially Georgia. The rooftop is a real hidden gem !

Nice place for a catch up drink with friends. First visit but enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the staff.

East Parade is amazing. I've visited regularly since it first opened and have seen the place blossom. The rooftop is fab! The food is so good, bang bang chicken salad from the new menu is banging ;) and theres a wide range of cokatils. Patrick (one of the bar staff) as well as being a friendly face each time myself and my husband visit, makes a mean margarita which I often get as part of the happy hour deal that runs on weekdays. See you guys again soon :-) and Patrick, get that salty rim on the go!

Really friendly staff and wide selection of drinks with great vegan and veggie food options :)

I love coming to east parade social, be it for the great range of vegan food or a great evening with friends! I’m always particularly impressed with the knowledgeable and friendly bar staff.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and love the rooftop terrace

Signed up on the 'too good to go' app, paid last night for a meal, got a message confirming my order was ready for collection, walked a mile across leeds to collect it, got there, the bar man had no idea what it was, stood there for 5minutes to be told 'we have none left', and refunded. Why are they selling food via the app a day in advance if they dont make enough?

Great vibe and a cool place! My new favourite spot in Leeds and the bar staff are always really friendly and helpful

Smashing place slightly away from the main drag with a decent selection of beer.

Awesome new spot in Leeds. Great choice of beers on tap, really friendly bar-staff and a free ping pong table for good measure! The rooftop bar is also one of the biggest hidden-gems in Leeds.

Very nice food especially the flatbreads and nachos!

Top Class Food and Drink . Always enjoy my Bacon Sandwich on Friday. Friendly Staff who always make you feel welcome.

Absolutely love this place, awesome vibe, great food and the roof terrace is an amazing space with lovely views across Leeds!

Their Rooftop bar is AMAZING! Brunch downstairs is especially good if you're veggie as they have a ton of different options. It's right in the middle of town so ideal for after-work drinks also - 10/10

Absolute hidden gem. Great for working, coffee and bar downstairs is open to the public but not advertised so it's lively but not packed. The roof garden is great for functions and evening drinks.

The bagel and hallumi were gorgeous. Not bad prices at all

Took my dad yesterday. Walked in, greeted by two women staring at us (felt slightly intimidating). Grabbed a menu to take outside. Menus were so confusing - I asked to check if breakfast was on as it was after 12, but people were still having breakfast. When I asked, they said it had finished. Then on another page of the menu it said ‘weekend brunch 10-3 - ask for details’ - something along those lines anyway. Went inside, asked about the brunch menu and one of the girls said “oh it’s just on the menu”. I was like I’ve read it (I assumed there was a different one). At this point they are both behind the bar not coming around and explaining anything to me. I said “oh it’s just it says 10-3 for brunch?”. Then she agreed and said, “oh yes, we’ve changed the menu it’s quite confusing, you can have anything from the breakfast menu” - which they stated before we can’t have cos it’s finished. I found her very rude as I was trying to explain the reason I was confused very politely actually. I was reading what it says to her so she didn’t think I was a moron and completely making it up. She rudely pressed her finger on the menu when mine was reading off another page and talked over me. Awful attitude and I didn’t appreciate her being arsey with me. i didn’t dare go back inside to order so my dad did. They were fine with my dad (but I think another woman served him). Nice brekkie but they need to make the menus less ambiguous and lessen the attitude. Don’t know why she thought she could be like that with me - perhaps female, a similar age perhaps. God knows, but a little disappointing service wise.

Nice experience and fun at the comedy club 😉

First time visit for quarterly appraisal with manager. Really modern and nicely decorated, delicious flat white and a nice meeting/creative space that is available for everyone. Highly recommended.

They have coffee which i thank them for

Called in here for an early evening glass of wine on the way to a concert at the Town Hall. Nice modern/trendy bar at the centre of a hub of offices, seeming to cater for modern/trendy types - my wife and I (both retired) were by far the oldest people in the place. Decent wine at a reasonable price and a good food menu, especially for vegetarians. Would certainly visit again but probably during the day :)

Great comedy cabaret on Saturday's.

Booked a table with a voucher deal, when we arrived had no knowledge of our booking. Wouldn't recommend on a weekend the drinks selection is poor and the atmosphere is like being in an office. The food was ok.

This is a great, chilled out hangout location. The prices are great and there's lots of choice on the food, which is primarily vegetarian. The space itself is urban-inspired so there's lots of space, but at the same time the tables are close enough together to create more of a vibe. I'm not sure whether they have too many options to make it accessible - there are approx three stairs just inside the front door and toilets are downstairs again. My only complaint is that there was a wait on the food that I did tknow about, meaning my friend could almost have finished her food before mine arrived.

Nice place for a business meeting.

Good find. Café bar workspace. Great choice of food

An absolutely perfect mix of co-working and coffee shop.

Fun cafe-bar next to some amazing co-working space. They serve a light food menu of sandwiches, nachos, Buddha bowls and everything is well thought out and fresh, but whatever, just come here for the really good coffee. Doubles up as a bar and would be a great place for informal work meetings, with informal seating and decent wifi. Staff were really spot on when I visited too.

Great if you like to chat.. I do

Just popped in for an inbetween drink.ended up staying 2 hours talking to the barstaff and bouncer ...lovely setting and ggreat choice of drinks

Decent coffee (haven't tried the food yet, but I'll be back!). Not to pricey. A light and airy space with plenty of seating. WiFi andlLots of power points too if you're looking to recharge while you eat.

Nice beer, lovely venue, awesome staff

Top notch venue with super helpful staff and a rooftop that sets it apart. Highly recommended.
