A bottomless drag brunch in Leeds has been named as one of the very best in Britain, according to research commissioned by women's fast-fashion retailer Nasty Gal.
Yard and Coop are already up there in our esteem as one of the best spots in the city for a fried chicken fix, but now there's another reason to add it to your list of must-visits in the city.
Their Leeds Coop Queen Drag Brunch, which has recently returned featuring legendary queen Uma Daz alongside newbie Mystique, has just been ranked third behind two popular drag brunches in Manchester.
Whilst it didn't quite take the top spot it still ranked very highly above numerous events in London, Brighton, and elsewhere - with the north clearly coming out on top overall.
Featuring fun games like RuPaul Bingo alongside some proper disco dancing, the bottomless brunch menu includes 90 minutes of unlimited drinks and features a whole host of Yard and Coop's legendary chicken for just £30.
Think fried chicken-loaded pancakes, and a waffle burger loaded with their signature buttermilk chicken, plus bacon, egg, adobo mayo and loaded tatties on the side.
For veggies, meanwhile, there are some tasty veggie tacos piled high with smashed avocado, scrambled egg, chopped chives, cherry tomatoes and sriracha garlic hot sauce - plus more loaded tatties on the side.
With two sessions taking place from 2 - 4pm and 5 - 7 pm at their Merrion Street site, expect plenty of free-flowing fizz and
Nasty Gal says: "At £30 per person for 90 minutes of magical lip-syncs and guaranteed gags, the Coop Queen Drag Brunch is a shining example of what the north has to offer the drag scene and places Leeds firmly on the drag brunch map."

As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
