There's unlimited pizza and a full bottle of Prosecco on offer- and that's before you've picked up the darts.
Saturdays are for bottomless brunchin' and in Leeds and whilst we really don't need another excuse to enjoy a boozy weekend in the centre, this one is tempting us in with bottomless pizza and Prosecco by the bottle.
That said, it's always a welcome surprise to have an activity to get involved in. Sometimes you just need something to kickstart an awkward first date, or sometimes it's just refreshing to have a laugh by messing around, rather than simply sitting round the table.
There's two hours of unlimited pizza to kick off the brunching experience every Thursday - Sunday, served up on giant paddles.
There's elite tier pizzas here and they're loaded with toppings and there's not a margarita in sight (unless that's what you want to order).
Think coppa salami with parmesan or tandoori chicken with chilli and yoghurt; or if you want to be really controversial there's, spicy 'nduja with caramelised pineapple and honey. Vegans needn't miss out: their pizza selection is packed with flavour and childhood favourites. A vegan chicken and potato waffle pizza topped with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and tomato sauce can be served as many times as you wish.

Grab a slice with one hand and a dart with the other: this brunch club has the option to add a sampler of Social Darts. You'll have a full hour to throw darts to your heart's content in the oche.
Experience the new-age of darts: pioneered specially by Flight Club by designing their own form of tech-savvy, supercharged darts – working with their very own astrophysicist to create a unique patented dart tracking technology for their multiplayer games.
Each game can involve up to 12 players at a time here, and the tech has an inbuilt ‘instant’ scoring system meaning there’s no boring faffing about writing things down. And their ‘tournament tech’ can connect up to 150 players in the venue at once.
The Brunch Social at Flights Club also includes a full bottle of Prosecco per person in attendance and if that goes down too quickly, there's carafes of orange juice available from the bar. Plus if you're tee total or just don't want to drink, mocktails are also an unlimited option during your two-hour brunch sitting.

Split across two floors in Sovereign House, inside Flight Club is decked out in an homage to fairgrounds – right down to the horses you see on the carousel rides.
Tickets cost £30 per person and must be booked in advance to avoid disappointment. Given there's a full bottle of fizz, unlimited pizza brought by the paddle and the option to add a full hours of darts: it's definitely a great value-for-money option.

An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food
Clementine Hall
What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
