The world’s first poo-powered pub has opened in Leeds

Think your local is shit? Well this one is full of it. The appropriately named Number Two Tavern is in Leeds city centre and it runs entirely on electricity powered by poo.

Located in the courtyard area of The Light, the pub has been created by Yorkshire Water to celebrate and promote the company’s commitment to environmental initiatives.

Shittier than Old Bar?

Aiming to have a net zero carbon by 2030, Yorkshire Water has opened the Number Two Tavern to prove poo could be the way forward.

Sadly, this is one pub you can’t get shit-faced at

The pub is only serving water from pub-style beer taps. On the bright side, the pub features its very own throne in the form of a prop toilet, so you’ll be able to live out your Game of Thrones fantasy.

Yorkshire Water are launching the pub as part of their first ever Carbon Week and are hoping the pub will encourage visitors to talk about climate change. The poo is generated locally (the wording of that frightens me a little) and is renewable (whatever that means), helping to keep both the carbon footprint and the cost down.

Poo could help solve the shitty issue of climate change

In a statement, Yorkshire Water said: ''We know that more needs to be done to tackle climate change, and it is our hope that the opening of our poo pub this week will spread the message.'' Truly inspirational, Greta Thunberg would be proud.

This is the world’s first poo-powered public space, and it could be a sign of what’s to come. From offices to restaurants, poo could be the energy solution to help solve climate change.

The Number Two Tavern is open 11am-5pm today, so be sure to check it out before it’s flushed away.
