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.

Domo has confirmed it will officially open the doors to its first Leeds venue on Friday June 5, so we really don't have long to wait.
Located at the iconic Tower Works development, Domo Leeds will offer a vibrant new canal-side destination, perfect for the summer months.
Alongside the main restaurant menu, there’ll be a dedicated bar food menu designed around relaxed dining and carefully crafted small plates designed to pair with the drinks offering creating a more informal way for guests to experience Sardinian flavours.
Domo co-founder, Sarah Elliott-Busceddu, said: “We’re incredibly excited to finally open the doors and welcome people into Domo Leeds. From day one, our vision has been to create a space where everyone feels welcome and somewhere that brings people together in the true spirit of Sardinian hospitality.
“Whether it’s an evening out with friends, a relaxed catch-up over drinks after work, or a big family celebration, we’ve designed Domo to feel warm, inclusive and full of life. We can’t wait for people in Leeds to experience not just the food and drinks, but the atmosphere and sense of community that sits at the heart of everything we do.”
The Sheffield institution serving the city’s favourite sandwich for over 60 years
Clementine Hall
Of course, it's the one and only Béres.
It all started back in 1961 when Hungarian butcher Sandor Béres left his home city of Budapest during the 1956 uprising against the Stalinist government.
After the government took control of his father's butchers shops, Sandor set out to establish the chain once more and so, Béres was born.
And thank god it was, as for over 60 years now their iconic pork sandwich has been fuelling the hungry people of Sheffield, and we'd go as far to say it's one of the best sarnies in the city.

Hot roast pork, herby stuffing, crispy crackling and fruity apple sauce all crammed into a soft bap - it really doesn’t get much better than that.
But, what makes it so special? Béres claims it's all in the preparation and quality control.
Being a traditional butchers, their pork joints are traditionally roasted and cured in house to give that succulent texture and crispy crackling every single time.
They use around seven tonnes of pork and four tonnes of flour per week to feed us hungry lot, and it's no surprise when you see the queues forming outside your local Béres every lunch time.

The very first shop was born at Wadsley Bridge where they quickly built a reputation for their sandwiches, this then allowed them to become a proper Sheffield household name after expanding rapidly through the 2000s.
They now have 14 sites across Sheffield, and each site is as good as the next. Not only are the pork sandwiches class but if you're ever faced with a hangover no matter how severe, their stacked breakfast baps are always there to save the day.
But why we love Béres most of all is the lovely staff who are always there to offer a smile and a chinwag, but what else do you expect from the people of Sheffield hey?
