The only way to end your night out is with some comfort food, so why not grab it whilst you're still at the bar?
If you're anything like much of the Leeds population, a stop at the kebab shop or the nearest takeaway is the only way to end a night out.
The greasy food is never our choice of late night dish, but it's the only food available at 4am, so we always settle for some half-baked dish that definitely could give us food poisoning. But its 4am and we're hungry, so we don't care.
Finally, a bar heard our prayers for decent late night food.

The Watermark serve their dishes until closing, making them the only place you'll find us past 3am from now on.
The Watermark Bar are firm believers that you deserve to eat when you're hungry, no matter what time it is.
Pulling the best from their seasonal menu, the popular Leeds bar offer meat and cheese boards, as well as houmous and crumpets until 4am.
The Charcuterie boards are available as just meat or cheese, or a mixture of the two to suit every late night craving.
Served with warm bread, pickleys, nuts, fruit and chutneys, this is the sophisticated solution to a kebab we didn't know we needed but refuse to forget.
At £15 per board, end the night by sharing your treats with your nearest and dearest whilst keeping the party alive with cocktails and some of the most eclectic tunes in Leeds.

If you get those savoury cravings at midnight, the Hummus and Pita dish is served with pickles, and will more than satisfy every late night craving.
The crumpets, however, bring The Watermark into a league of their own when it comes to late night snacks.
Choose from cold cuts or chutney fillings, including combinations like chorizo and salami; caramelised onion, habanero and tomato chutney or whiskey butter, melted cheese, marmite and pickles.

The Watermark is locally known for its outlandish nights out, including their blanket fort birthday party- which is rumoured to return for Christmas.
The bar is open Wednesday - Sunday, with its closing times ranging from 2am on Wednesdays and Sunday to 4am on a Friday and Saturday.
No matter what time you visit The Watermark, as long as they're open, you can get your food fix.
One of Leeds' most iconic brands is expanding with two city centre openings.
Coffee lovers, you're going to love this one.
North Star Coffee Roasters are one of the early pioneers of specialty coffee in the North of England and among the UK’s first B Corp-certified coffee roasters.
They've been keeping the people of Leeds awake since 2013, and you'll find their coffee across the country as well as at their current city centre locations.
One of their brand-new locations inside the Victoria Quarter will be opening next Monday 1 June.
Their new kiosk will be located outside Jo Malone London and marks the brand’s third site in Leeds.

To celebrate the launch, North Star will be giving away 50 free coffees a day from Tuesday 2 June until Friday 5 June - a total of 200 free drinks across the opening week. Customers will be able to claim any coffee from the menu, with one free drink per person available on a first come, first served basis, each day.
Their other new site is expected to be on Great George Street, and we'll keep you updated with any news on that one as and when we know more.
Speaking about the opening, Holly Kragiopoulos, Co-founder of North Star, said: “Opening a third site in the centre of Leeds feels incredibly special for us. Leeds has always been at the heart of North Star, so being able to bring our coffee into Victoria Quarter is a huge milestone.
"We wanted to celebrate by giving something back to the city and welcoming both loyal regulars and new customers with free coffee throughout our opening week.”

Well, as masterminds of the almighty sandwich you'll be happy to know you can still get one here. However, their iconic sub sarnies have had an Italian makeover and are now served in fresh, springy sourdough which is baked onsite.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find brown butter buttermilk brownies (try saying that three times), a range of delicious cookies, sausage rolls, soft amaretti biscuits and Dark Arts tiramisu.
There's also a fab selection of Italian drinks on offer in a swanky new fridge, as well as a coffee menu so you can pick a brew to go hand in hand with your chosen baked good.

The interior is just as gorgeous, complete with yellow walls, red tiles and a mirror hanging above the baker's table so you can really see all the magic happen.
And trust us, it is magic.
There's a couple of benches outside so you can plonk yourself in the sunshine to enjoy your sarnie, which is what we'll be doing in this glorious bank holiday sunshine.

You can really tell this is a proper labour of love, and Chris and the team have done a cracking job of keeping that Silver's spirit in there.
Go and say hello to congratulate them on this fabulous new opening, it's a great addition to Farsley and the Leeds foodie scene.
