Enjoy delicious cocktails with a twist and South East Asian-inspired street food at Bar Soba on Greek Street.
Of course we all love a Bottomless Brunch, 90 minutes of free flowing prosecco and mouth watering food, what's not to like? But for those of us working a 9-5 on the weekends, we can sometimes miss out on those epic deals.
Well do not fear, as Bar Soba not only host an incredible Bottomless Brunch but they also host a Bottomless Supper too, what a winner.

Bottomless Brunch takes place Friday - Sunday from 12 - 4pm whilst Bottomless Supper kicks off Monday - Thursday from 4 - 9pm. Your booking includes 90 minutes of unlimited booze plus your choice of food from a fresh and exciting menu, all for just £35 per person.
For brunch choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol spritz or melonball and zombie punch cocktails. You can choose one main dish to devour from their brunch menu, including the beloved Chicken Katsu Curry, Thai favourite Pad Thai or the Indonesian staple Nasi Goreng if you're craving something spicy.

Although this will most definitely be enough food, we can't help but mention some of the tongue tantalising sides on offer. The Super Thai Fries smothered in satay sauce, sriracha and soba mayo all topped off with crispy onions and crushed peanuts sound so good that you'll have to order them for the table to share. Other sides include Okra tempura, shrimp crackers and wok fried asian greens in garlic and ginger.
The dessert which we have our eye on is the Japanese doughnut, coated in chilli sugar and served with mango sorbet and a fruit compote. The sides and desserts aren't included in the deal but can be added as an extra for a small price.
The Bottomless Supper includes a choice of two dishes from a small plate menu and is perfect for those who want to try a bit of everything and mix and match. Dishes include Cheeseburger Spring rolls, Duck or Vegetable Gyozas and Mini Teriyaki Beef Noodles. For booze choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol Spritz and a selection of their fun and innovative cocktails.

Whether you're kicking off the weekend or winding down after work, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends and enjoy good food, drink and even better vibes.

There's another new opening in Farsley - this time an incredibly cool listening bar and cocktail bar.
Tucked away in Sunny Bank Mills, Pardon Me is a bar built around 'music, atmosphere, and detail'.
Bartenders here create well-made cocktails and pour natural wines in front of a wall of vinyl records, while a playlist of hip hop, soul, jazz, funk, deep house, and disco soundtracks your evening.
The stylish space features a considered sound system that's been built around Danley speakers.
Pardon Me has opened with the intention of creating a space where 'sound sits at the centre, and everything else supports it'.
It's been launched by Scott Rapson, who grew up in the Scottish Highlands and fell in love with music around the time of the arrival of hip hop in the early 80s.
He then spent time travelling for raves, and visiting venues like Glasgow’s Sub Club and London’s Plastic People, giving Scott an appreciation for how 'music can shape a room, not just fill it'.
Scott and his partner Laurie have then spent the past three years travelling Europe, visiting listening bars across the continent to shape the foundations of Pardon Me.

They say that sound, look, atmosphere, service and style are treated with equal importance.
Whether it's for coffee during the day, or drinks into the evening, they want Pardon Me to be a place to spend time, looking out across Sunny Bank Mills.
Scott says he's built the bar with the support of family and friends, plus Laurie helping to bring the idea to life, already finding a warm welcome within the Farsley community.
Pardon Me is open now at Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley.
Posh bakery chain Gail’s is finally coming to Yorkshire
Daisy Jackson
Gail's has finally set its sights on Yorkshire for the first time, with a new bakery set to open this year.
It's one of the UK's most famous bakeries, launching in London in the early 1990s to supply restaurants, before opening its first retail site and cafe in Hampstead in 2005.
Gail's founders set out on a mission to bake bread as it used to be baked: by hand, using quality ingredients and time-worn artisanal methods.
While Gail's has expanded aggressively into the north, opening around a dozen bakeries in Greater Manchester and its surrounds, it hasn't made the journey across to Yorkshire just yet.
All that looks set to change, with job ads now listed for roles within a brand-new Yorkshire branch of Gail's.
Based on the job advert, Gail's is heading straight to the spa town of Harrogate - which is a fairly predictable move.

When it does open, you'll find loaf choices including classic white and brown sourdough, Gail’s ‘wasteless’ loaves (made using a specially-created recipe designed to incorporate unsold bread crumbs), alongside seeded varieties, baguettes and batons.
Must-tries include Gail’s famous cinnamon buns, still-warm cheese and ham croissants, chocolate chip cookies, and – given the weather we’re having this week – iced coffees, all day long preferably please.
Gail's has now confirmed the opening, with a spokesperson saying: "GAIL’s is excited to confirm it is opening a new bakery in Harrogate later this year. The opening will bring GAIL’s craft baking to the community, including creating a number of craft baking, barista, and management roles.
"We will also be donating surplus baked goods through our Neighbourly partnerships. This is part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities we serve and improving access to quality food and drink on the high-street."
But given the number of fantastic local bakeries all over Yorkshire, the question is, does anyone want Gail's?
