Below Stairs

Nestled in the heart of Leeds, is more than just a cocktail bar—it's a beacon of sustainability in the city's vibrant nightlife scene. With a commitment to eco-conscious practices, Below Stairs has revolutionised the way cocktails are crafted and enjoyed.

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword it's deeply ingrained in their ethos. The bar innovative techniques to minimize waste, repurposing excess ingredients for homemade syrups, infusions, garnishes, and coasters. Even their cocktail menu is designed with sustainability in mind, featuring drinks that highlight 12 seasonal produce to minimise environmental impact.

Beyond their ingredients, Below Stairs takes strides to reduce energy consumption and promote eco-friendly practices throughout their operations. From energy-efficient lighting to recycling and composting programs, every effort is made to leave a positive imprint on the planet.

Below Stairs engages more actively in a sustainable concept looking beyond their impact but now taking an approach of engaging with Economic, Ecological and Sociological sustainability.

The bar believes ‘that it's equally important to work with companies with proven labour practices as it is companies with proven 'green' practices - that ecological and sociological sustainability are inextricably linked. However, economic sustainability for ourselves is just as important - if we overstretch in the pursuit of being more 'sustainable' then we are helping no-one.’

With its unwavering dedication to sustainability, Below Stairs isn't just raising the bar for cocktail culture; it's setting a new standard for responsible indulgence in Leeds and beyond.
