In Leeds, we're lucky enough to have a pub quiz every night of the week.
Whether you fancy a themed Harry Potter, Disney, Songs, Culture, Sports, General Knowledge or even Pictionary rounds- we like to think we have it all.
That is except a major cash prize.
The Waterlane Boathouse once had a whopping £700+ cash prize for their Monday night quiz, but we've managed to find another thats bound to beat any other contender by a couple of hundred pounds.
Next Level is an arcade bar in Dean Clough, Halifax where you can play everything from pinball to Mario Kart and now, you can win a grand prize of £1000 at their weekly pub quiz.
Every Wednesday night, Next Level (also known as Nxt Lvl) hosts a smartphone quiz that anyone can enter.

Starting at 8pm sharp, all you have to do is answer the questions on your screen. If you get the last question right, you get to choose a key to try and open up the Super Mario Bros. block containing the £1000 cash prize in £10 notes.
Sounds simple, right?
We're guessing the question is going to be a University Challenge-style that'll be difficult to guess, so make sure you bring your brainiest team mates with you to guess.
Even if you're not a winner on this occasion, there's plenty of old-school games to play and some giant burger and chips on the menu too.

Dean Clough is approximately thirty minutes from Leeds city centre, but with a cash prize that could pay for a huge holiday, a fancy sofa or a really big night out- it'll be well worth the drive for the successful winner.

"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
