There's a serious bottomless in town and it's full of our favourite cocktails.
For those that haven't had chance to visit Canal Club on Canary Wharf yet, it's a cafe by day and club by night, inspired by pre-Covid globetrotting and party cultures.
Whilst we can't travel anywhere like Cuba or Miami without endless Covid reminders and restrictions, Canal Club is keen to bring the best of the beach club Havana lifestyle to Leeds in its place- and what's more holiday-like than drinking copious amounts of prosecco and cocktails?

For ninety minutes every Saturday and Bank Holiday Sunday between the hours of 12pm and 8pm, take a seat and listen to the tunes of Canal Club DJs mixing the latest House anthems, all without your cocktail ever leaving your hand.
Choose from the likes of Kir Royale, Aperol Spritz, Long Island Iced Tea and Pornstar Martinis, as well as Meantime Lager, Pink Prosecco and the classic bottomless essential: regular prosecco.
Brunchers are also invited to choose from the Brunch menu, where you'll find a mouthwatering selection of around-the-world-inspired dishes.
We're talking chicken and halloumi skewers, jackfruit quesadillas, arrabiata gnocchi (or a pesto alternative) as well as a Canal Club take on the British classic: fish and chips.

If you fancy something a little more filling to line your stomach for endless booze, there's sliders aplenty: and if you haven't heard of them before, Sliders are the new, trendier cousin to the average burger, and Canal Club’s trio of meaty sliders is leading the way in the mini bun movement. The three burgers offer one crunchy chicken, one pulled pork and one juicy beef with burger sauce mini patties topped with crisp buns.
£1m has been invested in Canal Club and since its launch one year ago (and our multiple visits since), we can't stop thinking about its living walls and ceilings, dripping with lush palm leaves and bougainvillaea peppered throughout.
The exotic, tropical flair on the menu and featured in just about every corner of Canal Club is designed to transport guests straight to a Havana-style club night that’s perfect to grab a few photos for the ‘gram, let your hair down and party like you’re under the tropical heat of the Caribbean.

Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”

"It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we must share some devastating news. Due to an unexpected dispute with our landlord, we have been forced to close our doors effective immediately.

"We want to be unequivocally clear: We have always met our obligations, including rent and all bills. Our dedicated team has worked tirelessly, not just to serve exceptional food, but to build a community within our walls. Through the immense challenges of the hospitality economy, we fought to stay afloat, committed to our staff, our suppliers, and most of all, to you.
"Our hope now is to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We remain committed to our dream and to serving you again."
