Described as a 'debauched cocktail bar', Behind Closed Doors is set to open in Leeds city centre.
Strap yourselves in Leeds, because our nights out on the tiles are about to get a whole lot naughtier.
Hidden away in Manchester's famous Northern Quarter is Behind Closed Doors, a speakeasy-style basement cocktail bar which is decked out head-to-toe with vintage erotica.

After ringing a bell for entry and making your way through the secret door, you'll find walls covered in 1970s vintage pornography, retro neon signage and tables equipped with their own phone known as the 'BCD hotline' where fellow party goers can call one another to engage in naughty gossip.
Behind Closed Doors aims to bring ‘sex, rugs & funk ‘n’ soul’ to the people of Manchester, and now they're bringing it to us lot over in Leeds.
And it's not just the decor that's cheeky, it's the cocktails too.

Their list of signature cocktails include the The Chocstar Martini; loaded with lashings of whipped cream and chunks of chocolate, and the Kitten Mitten which features Bombay Bramble, Martini Rosso and of course comes with a condom pegged to the side of the glass.
Most definitely bringing a new meaning to the word cocktail.
The perfect place for late night drinks with friends, a cheeky date night spot, but perhaps not a bar to bring your mum and dad to.
No official opening date has been announced yet, but we can't wait for Behind Closed Doors to come to Leeds and we'll be listening intently for further news.
The finale of The Celebrity Traitors is hitting our TV screens next Friday, and there’s a big screening party happening in Leeds especially for it.
Don't panic guys, it's happening.
Fancy sitting down to watch one of the cultural events of the year on a big screen with dozens of others who are just as invested in the show as you are? Well, now you can.
And that’s because Belgrave Music Hall, one of the city’s most beloved event spaces and bars, will be hosting a finale watching party and we’re all invited.
Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?

Hollywood Vampires formed in 2012, named after Cooper’s celebrity drinking club of the same name where the aim was reportedly to ‘drink until no one could stand up’.
