Pasta in pyjamas? Name us a better Friday night plan.
Okay, you don't actually have to wear pyjamas but the main thing is you won't be judged if you do.
Some of you may remember that back in the good old days, Doh'hut used to host 'Casual Pasta' nights. And they were absolutely class, as you would expect.
Well now they're making a triumphant return to BAKE, where Tom and the All Things Dough team will serve you up a menu full of banging pasta, natural wine from Wayward Wines and a few other goodies in a gorgeous, relaxed setting.
Announcing the fabulous news on Instagram, BAKE said: "Join us for a set menu of delicious food to share with your loved ones or mates, paired with good tunes, great wine, and the best pasta you’ve chomped on this year.
"We plan to run Casual Pasta at least once a month going forward. The menu will change slightly each time but with the same format, different flavours, keeping it fresh for us and fresh for you.
"Keep it casual… no ties or dress shoes. Hats and trainers encouraged, and if you rock up in pyjamas, we’ll be super impressed. Be comfortable and feel at home, that’s the vibe we want, and hopefully the vibe you bring too."
Sounds absolutely perfect, don't you think? And seeing as everything Tom touches turns to gold, we just know this is going to be some of the best pasta we've ever had the pleasure of eating.
The first casual pasta nights at BAKE will take place on Friday 31 October and Saturday 1 November, and you can book your spot here. And you best be quick, as we don't think it'll take long to get all booked up.
The beloved Domino Club is receiving its flowers, and rightly so.
Rapidly becoming one of the industry’s most respected accolade of excellence, The Pinnacle Guide is a worldwide ranking of the best bars across the globe.
Based on a thorough self-application process, rigorous assessment modules, followed by a series of spot check interviews and anonymous in-bar reviews, it's no easy feat to get a spot on this list.
Which is why it makes The Domino Club's achievement all that more impressive.
Known amongst locals and visitors alike as basically one of the coolest bars in town, the hidden speakeasy invites you through a barbershop in the Grand Arcade where downstairs you'll find a dimly lit jazz and cocktail bar oozing sex appeal.
Not only are the cocktails exceptional, but their live music listings is something to behold playing everything from jazz and funk to cabaret and disco every Wednesday - Sunday.
Announcing the news to Instagram, The Domino said: "Listed by The Pinnacle Guide. The Domino Club has been recognised on the global list of the world’s best bars.
"What began as a hidden basement bar in Leeds, built around live music, cocktails and atmosphere, is now being recognised alongside some of the finest bars in the world.
"A huge thank you to our team, musicians, suppliers and every single guest who has supported us over the years. This means a lot. Leeds belongs on the world cocktail map."
We absolutely could not agree more and if you haven't ventured behind the barbershop and discovered the magical Domino Club, then we very much recommend you do.
