Description:
Below Stairs is a hidden basement cocktail bar on South Parade, serving creative drinks in a low-lit, intimate setting.

It is tucked away, stylish and just mysterious enough to make finding it feel like part of the fun.

Make a Day of It:
Start with food around Greek Street, Park Row or the city centre, then slip down to Below Stairs for cocktails in a proper tucked-away setting. It works perfectly after dinner, before a special night out or when you want drinks somewhere that feels a little more considered than the usual loud bar crawl.
The Tidy Take:
Below Stairs is Leeds nightlife with a secret handshake. Low-lit, clever, intimate and full of drinks that make you slow down and actually taste what is going on. Great for dates, proper catch-ups and anyone who wants cocktails with a bit of brains behind the booze.
