The Top 23 Places to Drink Near Restaurant DOM
-
Rank 1. The Brain Jar
Cocktail Bar
A cocktail bar in Hull that lands at number four on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars list while also hosting opera nights and loose-leaf tea service, which tells you most of what you need to know. The seasonal menu runs to mushroom-infused old fashioneds and a Tarot Cake with cream cheese frosting, but sixty-plus drinks cover every mood from classic to genuinely strange. Two floors, three rooms, and an explicit mission to be a place where people actually talk to each other.
-
Rank 2. Pipe and Glass
British Pub
A Michelin-starred gastropub hidden down the country lanes of East Yorkshire, where Barnsley chops and locally shot game arrive in portions that mean business. The kitchen refines pub classics without making them feel precious, and the wine list runs deep enough to keep you at the table longer than planned. Smart rooms converted from old lambing buildings make spending the night a reasonable excuse.
-
Rank 3. The Pearl at Park Hill
Cocktail Bar
Park Hill's brutalist housing estate has had pubs since it was built, then didn't for a long while, and The Pearl is their return: a cocktail bar folded into a proper neighborhood local, with a seasonal menu that rotates, craft beer, natural wine, and bar food to keep things grounded. The team behind Bench in Nether Edge runs this one too, and it landed a spot in the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars. Sheffield's skyline looms outside; good drinks happen inside.
-
A pub in a Leeds conservation area that won the Great British Pub Awards' Best Pub Garden two years running, and once you see the place, that tracks. What was a car park and field is now a two-tiered outdoor space with a terrace bar, wooden huts, and views over a cricket pitch. The planting is genuinely cared for, pollinator-friendly and all. A solid neighborhood pub where the garden is the whole point.
-
Rank 5. Pinnacle Sports & Games
Beer Bar
Seventeen screens, three Sky boxes, and sound zones that let different matches play in their own corners of the room: Pinnacle takes the sports pub formula pretty seriously. Pool, darts, and electronic basketball keep things moving between kickoffs, and the family-friendly hours mean it's not purely a fortress of lager and shouting. The 2025 Great British Pub Award for Best Pub to Watch Sport suggests the rebrand landed.
-
Art deco bones, marble and gold tables, and green velvet stools set the mood at this Eastgate cocktail bar, which runs from coffee and pastries at nine in the morning all the way through aperitivo hour to late-night classics with cheese and cold cuts. The team sources ingredients from Kirkgate Market and lets the cocktail menu get genuinely odd, in a good way. It landed a spot on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars list in 2026.
-
Rank 7. Below Stairs
Cocktail Bar
The current menu at this basement cocktail bar in Leeds is organized around Sugar, Salt, Acid, and Fat, which sounds like a food-science lecture but lands as a genuinely clever way to pick a drink without pretending you know what "amaro" means. Craft beer on draft and small-vineyard wines round things out. It landed at number 20 on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars list, which should tell you what kind of crowd finds their way downstairs.
-
American memorabilia lines the walls of this lively bar and casual dining spot on Saltergate, where line dancing nights sit comfortably alongside quiz nights and live sport on the same weekly calendar. The vibe is broadly Americana, the crowd is local and loyal, and the programming is restless enough that there's usually something on. It took the Admiral Taverns Pub of the Year at the 2025 Great British Pub Awards.

-
Rank 10. The Highland Laddie
British Pub
Sausage rolls baked to order, ham carved from the joint and finished on the open fireplace, a dedicated mustard menu: the Highland Laddie is a pub that takes the pub seriously. It landed on the Top 50 Gastropubs list, and Jimi Famurewa called it out in The Observer as a northern boozer of unexpected finesse. Come for a pint and leave having somehow eaten rather a lot.
-
Rank 11. Blind Jack
Beer Bar
A 400-year-old timber-framed building on Knaresborough's market square, Blind Jack's is a proper beer pub with five cask and ten craft lines pouring from a tiny bar that has no business handling that much traffic. Draught Bass sits alongside Black Sheep, but the rotating pumps wander toward American brown ales and porters. The 2025 Great British Pub Awards named it Best Beer Pub. You walk in feeling like a regular before you've ordered.
-
Rank 12. The General Tarleton
Modern British Pub
A glass-roofed courtyard and a big terrace where walk-ins are always welcome set the tone at this gastropub near Knaresborough, part of Tommy Banks' growing Yorkshire operation. The kitchen runs on local produce and day-boat fish, mixing pub classics with the odd more ambitious move, all with a seasonal logic baked in from the start. The service team have the warmth the setting asks for, which, in a coaching inn this old, is quite a lot.
-
Rank 13. Over & Above
Cocktail Bar
A bookcase that opens into a bar is either very cool or a cry for help, and in Harrogate it turns out to be the former. Over & Above is a two-floor cocktail bar where the menu leans into signatures and elevated classics with enough personality to stay on the right side of try-hard. Sundays bring soul, Motown, and jazz into the evening. It placed in the Top 50 Cocktail Bars in 2026.
-
Rank 14. The Domino Club
Cocktail Bar
-
Rank 15. Neon Cactus
Mexican
-
Three Victorian cellars knocked into one give this basement bar its vaulted ceilings, still lined in original white porcelain tiles. The namesake Jake Burger has long since moved on to gin work in London, but the bar he built on Call Lane carries on with its reputation for being crammed, loud, and a little dangerous on a Friday. Arrive early later in the week or the door will make the decision for you.
-
The concept started as a rotating bar that reinvented itself every few months, and somewhere along the way it just became a bar worth staying in. Hedonist on Briggate is a cocktail bar that has settled into its own skin, putting the focus on the drinks themselves rather than the next theatrical theme. The kind of place where the menu does the talking and the room doesn't need a costume to hold your attention.
-
Rank 18. North
Beer Bar
-
-
-
Named for the Howlin' Wolf track, this two-floor bar and micro-club in Leeds wears its blues obsession on its sleeve. An unpromising staircase leads to a first-floor lounge with banquette seating, and later in the week the attic opens up, revealing a beamed ceiling, a second bar, and a dance floor where DJs keep things moving. Orleans funk, Harlem jazz, and Chicago blues set the tone, so dress accordingly and don't arrive expecting quiet conversation.
-
Rank 22. Mojo Leeds
Cocktail Bar
Rock star prints cover the walls of this packed cocktail bar on Merrion Street, and the music is loud enough that you're basically shouting your order. Mojo has no interest in delicate Martinis or hushed appreciation, and the crowd packing in seems grateful for that. Chunky glasses of fruity, generously poured cocktails do the work, shots fill the gaps, and the whole thing runs on a holiday-bar energy that somehow never feels try-hard.
