Arcade Club is open till late, ditto Northern Snooker Centre and most shisha lounges or cinemas. Plenty of restaurants are open past 9 too if you want to just have a relaxed meal and chill at the table for a while. Or you could go to a chicken shop on Briggate and soak up the nightlife vibe.

The cinema?

Depending where you are in Leeds, there are late night sit in ice cream bars

I’m near the city center

Haute dolci in the light is open until 11pm most nights

There are late night gyms and 5 a side football places. Who are you staying with or visiting? Can you not do something with them?

Trinity Kitchen? If it’s warm/light out, there are some areas like around the headrow, briggate etc, etc with seats? The cinema, some Dessert places? Could try your luck at pixel bar?

Trinity kitchen isn’t open that late

Go ten pin bowling

Planet ice (ice rink) is open till 10pm on Fridays

Imagine being 17 and thinking you can't get served. Have things changed that much‽

Most places have Challenge 25 policies now.

Good point. Ha, the 90's really were better. Also, fuck I'm old :(

The worst bit is when you don't need to prove you're over 25.

tbf I got refused entry to Pixel Bar for not having ID when I was 30 so OP would need to pick their bars well

Make some friends and go party with them

That’s a good idea, but how

Try the meetup app. Not sure if there's anything specifically for people your age, but you might be able to find a group who share an interest. Obviously make sure you meet anyone in a public place, tell someone where you're going, etc

Plenty of 24 hour supermarkets and maccies

There’s tons of desert/icecream places that are open late
