Below Stairs is a hidden Leeds gem, reached by a discreet staircase on South Parade.
Set in a Grade II-listed basement, it pairs herringbone floors and subway tiles with dim lighting and bespoke prints for a quietly stylish look.
The bar focuses on inventive cocktails built around sensory storytelling, backed by a strong list of wines, craft beers, and non-alcoholic options.
Service is warm and engaging, and the intimate space strikes a balance between cosy and refined.
