Untold Bar is a brand new Ibiza-style bar which promises to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Leeds city centre.
Opening today, 24 March 2023, visitors can expect a party atmosphere where they can enjoy Untold's signature cocktails whilst catching some of the best live music the city has to offer.
Taking over the much-loved space of former P A S T E L bar which closed over winter, the new owners have kept the pastel-coloured theme alive but also added some new touches to make their Ibiza-themed space their own.
Think rattan chairs, turquoise walls adorned with striking neon signs and plush pink soft furnishings to nestle down in- the interior alone makes you feel as though you've hopped on a flight to the Balearics.

Untold Bar has been around in Leeds for a while now but in different forms, having been running live music events since 2013 around the city and beyond.
So it's safe to say that the owners know how to host a party and will be bringing their already loyal fanbase to their new exciting new venture.
Untold Bar will be open 5pm - 2am from Wednesday to Sunday at the moment, guests can pop in for a relaxed drink or attend their weekly DJ events and themed nights. Looking forward they will be looking to launch a bottomless brunch alongside their already brilliant Mediterranean-inspired cocktail menu.
Located on Kirkgate, this exciting new opening will be a fantastic addition to an area which has unfortunately seen some recent closures.
You can keep an eye on Untold's upcoming events here.
