Uyare
Signature cocktail: Spicy Mango Margarita
The way it was organised and done was brilliant and make sure to get Uyare again on the list - it’s my favourite spot
The week in brief
43 Leeds bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Vodka was the most used spirit, in 12 of the signature cocktails.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. Uyare, The Whitehall Restaurant & Bar and The Botanist came out on top.

What people said
Only positive - a great experience, I tell everyone about cocktail week !!
Great to try bars we had never been to before.
Overall the day was brilliant, went to different places to our norm and has now given us additional venues that we can’t wait to go back to.
My best friend and I loved this concept - it made us try places we’d never been and drinks we’d never choose - some of which are new favourites.
It was awesome
Smokestack. Great friendly staff, good music and nice atmosphere
What the venues said
Really great to have a popular event going on in the city centre during August. Created a great buzz about the city and our team enjoyed it at work, and as users.
Increased awareness of Leeds amazing cocktail scene. Of which has needed something like this since eat out to help out.
