We've all seen the giant beer towers doing the rounds for the Euro's - now it seems it's time for pornstar martini towers to have their moment.
They've just gone on sale at a former Hull nightclub called The Piper, which can be found on the popular Newland Avenue in the west of the city.

Before the pandemic, it was a well-loved local nightclub haunt but during the past year, it has restyled itself as a daytime bar and beer garden with great success.
"Your wish is our command..." the bar teased out to Facebook as it revealed a photo of its new 3-litre tall pornstar martini towers to huge fanfare.
Just like with beer, the pornstar martini cocktail tower comes with its own dispenser and glasses ready for you to serve yourself at your table.

As well as looking amazing, the cocktail towers here are surprisingly cheap - a 3-litre tank will set you and the squad back just £24.96.
We've just quickly done the maths on that, and it works out that you'll get roughly 23 pornstars out of a round - making them just over £1 each. Not too shabby.

If you're not a pornstar martini fan (they can be very sweet) there's also a whole load of other cocktails available in the 3-litre towers. Choices range from Woo Woo, Sex on the Beach, Long Island Iced Tea and a pink gin spritz.
Alternatively, the bar is also still serving beer towers - so if you're just after something simple, you can always opt for one of those instead.
As well as drinks in towers, there's also a load of classic cocktails that can be ordered individually like espresso martinis, cheeky vimtos, zombies, mojitos and more.
There's also a pretty decent food menu to help you keep going - think pizzas loaded with the likes of smoked salmon and fennel, tacos, BBQ chicken or pepperoni, big fat burgers of every description, plus some wholesome salads and chunky chips on the side. Sounds perfect.

Independent Leeds bookshop raises money for trans healthcare by inviting customers to ‘deface’ Harry Potter books
A bookshop in Leeds is inviting its customers to vandalise Harry Potter books for charity.
Well, this is definitely one we haven't seen before.
The Bookish Type on Great George Street in Leeds is a fabulous independently-owned queer bookshop that prides itself on being a safe space for all.
They're raising money for trans healthcare by inviting customers to vandalise Harry Potter novels for just 25p per go.
A bargain if you ask us, and all for a good cause. And don't worry, all the books are second hand and have been donated.

If you're not understanding the immediate connection between the two, then allow us to fill you in.
J.K. Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter novels, has over recent years expressed transphobic comments and anti-trans political beliefs on social media.
Yesterday, Wednesday 25 March, the trailer for the new HBO Max Harry Potter series was released which has encouraged many people to speak out against Rowling and claim she should no longer be supported.
So, The Bookish Type are showing support for the trans community and asking those who feel frustrated to have a doodle and whilst they're at it, donate to a good cause.
If you're not able to make it into the shop, The Bookish Type have said "You will soon be able to donate online and we will personally deface a page with your message/doodle/scribble."
We're absolutely obsessed.
Find out more about The Bookish Type and if you can, pop in for a browse and a doodle whilst you're at it.

Leeds to be transformed into a giant board game as Trivial Pursuit takes over the city
Clementine Hall
Leeds is set to become a giant board game this summer as Trivial Pursiot arrives in the city centre to celebrate a landmark moment in its history.
To mark 400 years since Leeds was granted its royal charter, LeedsBID (Leeds Business Improvement District) is transforming the city into a live interactive version of Hasbro’s iconic Trivial Pursuit board game, inviting residents and visitors to test their knowledge of all things Leeds.
It follows the huge success of the MONOPOLY Leeds Takeover back in summer 2024 and this year, LeedsBID is once again working with leading game, IP and toy company Hasbro to bring another of its iconic games to life.
This time, the focus is on the stories, achievements and surprising facts that have shaped Leeds over four centuries.
Running from 25 July to 30 August 2026, the free experience will see participants journey across the city centre answering questions and collecting wedges, just like the classic trivia game.
Key locations will represent the six traditional Trivial Pursuit categories: Entertainment, Geography, Sports & Leisure, Science and Nature, History, and Art & Literature.
Matt Proulx, Senior Vice President of Global Experiences, Partnerships and Music at Hasbro said: “After the incredible response to the MONOPOLY Leeds Takeover in 2024, we’re proud to collaborate with LeedsBID once again to reimagine another iconic brand in a bold new way.
"This is exactly how we think about Global Experiences at Hasbro - taking our brands beyond the table and creating experiences that are social, shareable and deeply connected to the communities they celebrate."
Andrew Cooper, Chief Executive of LeedsBID, said: “TRIVIAL PURSUIT Leeds is about celebrating everything about this great city, from those headline facts and figures people know to the lesser-known surprising details and discoveries.
“LeedsBID’s raison d’etre is to put Leeds on the map and tell the stories and successes of the city. Trivial Pursuit Leeds is doing just that, providing a free, fun and entertaining activity for all ages while sharing new and interesting achievements of this amazing place.”
