Known for bringing the centuries-old game of shuffleboard to a cool new crowd, Electric Shuffle has just opened in Leeds city centre.
From the masterminds behind Flight Club comes Electric Shuffle, and both concepts can now be found within walking distance of each other on The Headrow.
They opened their doors on Friday 28 October 2022 and the exciting launch marks the first Electric Shuffle outside of London.
Electric Shuffle Leeds boasts 9 shuffleboard playing areas within a beautiful, Grade II listed building, and a spectacular bar with a striking blue front.

The interior is eclectic, modern and eye-catching, creating a buzzing atmosphere which makes it the perfect Saturday night hot spot where you can battle amongst your friends whilst enjoying a cocktail or two.
So what is shuffleboard you might ask? With a rich history spanning hundreds of years, shuffleboard is as much a game of skill as it is luck. Simply slide your pucks amongst the electric shuffleboard and keep your fingers crossed for a heroic victory.

It's recommended that you book a 90-minute slot for a game which costs just £11 per person. Groups of up to 16 can play together, choosing from 4 uniquely competitive games designed to keep things competitive and amplify the excitement.
And if you're feeling hungry mid-shuffle, then don't worry as there's a delicious menu full of tasty food for you to order off and refuel. There's even handy “press for service” buttons meaning that not a moment of gameplay has to be missed, leaving more time for teams to discuss tactics.

CEO Steve Moore, who co-founded Electric Shuffle and Flight Club said “We are beyond excited to throw open the doors to Electric Shuffle in Leeds! We have loved being part of Leeds’ incredible hospitality scene so much with Flight Club and look forward to seeing our customers create more epic memories together with us.
“It feels even more special that this is our first Electric Shuffle outside of London, and we can't wait for everyone to get their game on”

A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop
Clementine Hall
Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.
It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.
Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.
For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.
Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.
But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.
We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.
This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.
All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
