Plus get ready for the best happy hour in town.” They offer a Martini Brunch “Join us every weekend to enjoy bottomless Pink & Blood Orange G&Ts, Martinis and Prosecco, plus all our favourite foods served in our beautiful brunch birdcage.” A choice of Bottomless Pink & Blood Orange G&Ts, Martinis & Prosecco will be served for 90 minutes."
"Dirty Martini’s bottomless brunch offer is one of my all-time favourites, mostly because the food gets served in a birdcage, which is just so cute (and perfect for Instagram, obviously!). For £35pp, you get a brunch birdcage to share between two, which has a bunch of amazing little dishes, as well as ninety minutes of bottomless pink and blood orange G&Ts, martinis and prosecco. It wouldn’t be brunch at Dirty Martini without a martini, right?"

"Mental health and wellbeing cafe Feel Good Club – Manchester’s new kid on the block in the Northern Quarter – has remained open throughout the second national lockdown for takeaway services to provide much-needed support for those who need it most.

"One of the first places to open up in the now uber-trendy Northern Quarter the Frog and Buckets plays host to Manchester's longest-running comedy club. Not only some fantastic homegrown talent, but comedy greats also pass through from all over the world. There are two opportunities every week to enjoy a giggle, their 'Barrel of Laughs' night and also their open mic night 'Beat the Frog'."
"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."
"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."
"This Prohibition-era speakeasy is one of Leeds’ best bars – and The Maven has got a particularly special relationship with gin that’s worth experiencing. They have over 50 gins behind the bar including the likes of Whitley Neil, Sipsmith and Tanqueray. If you’re a G&T lover, the Old Tom gin with a twist of grapefruit is a winner, or you can go for one of their creative cocktails, like the Hibiscus Swizzle, mixing WMonkey 47 gin, with hibiscus syrup, blackberries, cranberry juice and lemon syrup."
"Proud of their prohibition stance and promising some of the best in cocktail mastery, The Maven is a quirky bar in Leeds with lustre and vintage charm on its side. From drinks in cutesy teacups to lashings of gin, this stylish haunt is the ultimate choice for your next date night."
"The atmospheric and attractive bar stocks more than 50 gins. Yes, you read that right over 50!. They offer to share their love of gin with you for £35 per person and consists of a selection of three drinks, with history and lots of tasting tips."
"Not just one but two roaring fires for your dog to curl up by. The Bay Horse in Masham is a great option for lunch or dinner after a mosey around the town. This is a lovely atmospheric pub in a pretty Yorkshire Dales market town with most of the produce from the excellent menu being sourced from local suppliers."
"Locals and student flock to this pub come the warmer months, and it’s easy to see why. Cheap booze, food served all day, and probably the biggest beer garden in Headingly ensures that when the sun shines, there’s rarely a table free for al fresco guzzling. Outdoor pool tables, and a huge screen that regularly shows sports just add to the appeal."
"Whether you find yourself in here for an Otley Run, or for a chilled bite to eat after lectures, you’ll be amazed by the huge beer garden on offer at The Original Oak. Their big screen means sports fans will never miss a beat, and the number of benches means you always stand a pretty good chance at getting a seat on a sunny day."
