Everyman Cinema
OK, so if you read our guys guide to Choosing the First Date Venue, you’ll know we weren’t too keen on the old
cinema-complex-date-thing. But when you throw in luxuriously comfy sofas, a
glass of red wine and a slice of freshly made pizza, THEN you’re talking the
Flirtify language! Situated within the Trinity shopping complex in the city
centre, the Everyman Cinema features four and a half screens (seriously) showing a wide variety
of mainstream, art house and classic films… if you can take your eyes off your
date for long enough.
Kirkgate Market
Stay with us… yes, it’s a market, but it’s not just any market… this is the
largest covered market in Europe!
Belgrave Music
Hall & Canteen
If all that walking has made you thirsty and you’re
looking for a snazzy place to grab an ice-cold brewski, then head down to the Belgrave Music Hall in the north
of the city. Spread over three floors, this unique venue hosts live music,
comedy, film and art exhibitions and serves delicious canteen food, premium
craft beers and amazing frozen cocktails (non-alcoholic drinks also available).
So grab your hipster glasses, style your trendy facial hair and get out those
sailor tats before heading down to the most hip and happening hall of them all
– yes we’re down with the kids!
Royal Armouries
If - like us - you’re a bit of a culture vulture, then nothing
says ‘exciting day out’ like a museum of weapons and armour! Located on the
river-side of the recently developed New Dock, the Royal Armouries Museum houses a
collection of over 75,000 objects. Stroll hand-in-hand through the display of
medieval knights armour, Japanese shoguns, Wild West arms and other treasures
from around the globe. Just try not to fall out during your trip – arguments in
a museum of weapons can never end well. Rich (the new guy at Flirtify) says: “don’t
miss out on the Hall of Steel – your man will thank you!”
Shopping (Aside
from Kirkgate Market)
Christened as the ‘Knightsbridge of the North’, it would
be rude not to indulge in a spot of shopping whilst in Leeds. From haute
couture to vintage delights and everything in between, the high street offers a
huge variety of shops. We suggest starting at the top of Briggate and
working your way down! That way you can enjoy the world’s leading fashion
brands (think Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, Mulberry and Harvey Nichols) in
the breath-taking Victoria Quarter, before your other half swiftly drags you
away to the more wallet-friendly stores of the Trinity Centre.
Once you’ve reached the bottom (and if you’re still friends), turn left and head to one of our personal fave venues in Leeds – The Corn Exchange. This architectural masterpiece houses the very best creative, innovative and independent retailers in the city. Why not treat that special someone to a cute little gift to show how much you care? or to say sorry!

Roundhay Park and
Tropical World
If you’d like to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre and get down and dirty with nature, then Roundhay Park is as beautiful a place to frolic as any!
The Botanist,
Salvo’s, Fazenda
Like a comic book hero, Leeds is smart and respectable by
day and totally supercool by night! With more than 80 restaurants and 130 bars
the city has a fantastic range for every occasion. We’ve picked a couple of cracking
evening venues to get you started...
The Botanist is a place like no other; laid back, cool and unique it’s the perfect venue for a date-night. You’d be forgiven for thinking you were in a garden shed tucked away behind Trinity Church, with the assorted plant pots and tools hanging above rustic benches. But with an impressive selection of cask-ales, champagnes and ‘herby’ cocktails, the experience is unbe-leaf-able! You’ll both be horticultural experts before you know it… or you’ll be drunk.

Fazenda Bar & Grill might not be a
great first date for vegetarians, but if the continuous tableside service of
fifteen different prime cuts of meat sounds like your kind of thing, then
saddle up and ride on over… and if your date asks, it’s a posh Brazilian BBQ!
Salvo’s restaurant
in Headingley is a family institution – and for good reason! Established in 1976,
this innovative Italian restaurant serves up delicious contemporary food in a
relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Priding themselves on a high quality
family-run service, you’re guaranteed a romantic meal like only Italians know
how to do! Good food… good drink… good conversation… good night ;)
Now you know where to go in Leeds, let's find you a date! Flirtify - Let's Get Together
