Can anyone remember the name of the bar in Leeds where the staff all wore swimwear - trunks and bikinis - and danced on little podiums? I think it was somewhere near the Merrion Centre and I'm talking circa 1990-93ish. As students we used to go on a weekday night on way to "10p a pint" night at Rickys! Was telling a friend and I'm not sure he believed me....

Yell I think. In the former premises of the Hofbrauhaus.

The bar was actually called Yel! (Just one "L", I'm 99.9% certain).By 'eck, I've had some nights in there - there was nothing else like it when it first opened. Can't believe it was 17 years ago though..!
