Up to six people from separate households could be able to meet in beer gardens from 12 April, subject to review. Thankfully, Leeds is full of sun-drenched rooftop bars and terraces. Bookmark these places for a pint with friends in the sunshine when restrictions are lifted:
1. Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen
Belgrave has one of the best rooftop terraces in Leeds, complete with an outdoor bar and partial shelter - for when it inevitably rains through April.
2. Headrow House
Belgrave's sister bar Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city.
3. Issho
Issho has a gorgeous outdoor terrace on George Street. Enjoy the bar's signature cocktails or a bite to eat from the Japanese-inspired menu.
4. Angelica
