Meat is Dead in Leeds has launched a bottomless brunch with huge pitchers of margarita and sangria, plus loads of tasty vegan dishes.
The all-vegan eatery, bar, and art space on Kirkstall Road caused a bit of a stir when it launched earlier this year, with lots of locals piling in to give their opinions on the venue's name.
In spite of the naysayers, it's become pretty damn popular - and now they've added another string to their bow with the introduction of this new bottomless brunch deal.

Giving diners the option of unlimited drinks to enjoy with their brunch dish, there are huge pitchers of margarita and sangria on offer alongside glasses of prosecco.
Brunch dishes, meanwhile, include the likes of pancakes, brunch on toast or the house's 'global bowl.'
Think three fluffy cinnamon pancakes, served with maple syrup, yogurt, and fresh fruit; two slices of sourdough bread, topped with avocado, garlic mushrooms, and homemade black and white beans; or a big bowl of beans, scrambled tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, hash browns, and avocado.

Whichever you go for, you're not going to leave hungry (nor sober, by the sounds of those pitchers).
Priced at just £25 per person, bookings must start at either 11 am or 1 pm and for that, you'll get an hour and a half at the table maximum.
Starting from Saturday 11 September, the new deal will get you 90 minutes of bottomless drinks and a plant-based brunch dish of your choice.
Announcing the new deal on their Instagram today, the venue said:
"NOW TAKING BOOKINGS! Introducing…
"…The Meat is Dead, BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH

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."
Leeds foodies rejoice as much loved restaurant brings back their ‘legendary Pie Nights’
Clementine Hall
The Swine Bistro is bringing back one of its most-loved and hotly anticipated events; its legendary Pie Nights.
Is there anything more comforting in winter than a proper hearty pie? No, we don't think so either.
And there's no better place to go for one than the beloved Swine Bistro.
Since reopening and relocating to Otley Road, the Swine Bistro has been named amongst the Good Food Guide and SquareMeal’s Top 100 Best Local Restaurants, and it's not hard to see why.
The Swine Bistro excels in bold British flavours, slow-cooked comfort and generous, joy-filled cooking - and this is exactly what Pie Nights showcase.

This season’s Pie Night menu includes a mix of rich, meat-led classics and inventive vegetable-led pies, all made in-house and served with the Swine Bistro’s signature warmth and homely hosting.
The pie line-up includes Beef Cheek & Ox Tail, Chicken, Leek & Tarragon, Artichoke, Ricotta, Portobello & Walnut and Fennel, Hispi Cabbage, Butter Bean & Old Winchester.
Or if you're coming as a group and you can all agree on the filling (hard, we know), there is the show-stopping Suet-Topped Venison, Red Wine & Bone Marrow Pie, which is good enough for the table of Henry VIII.
Jo Myers, cofounder of the Swine Bistro, said; “Our love of making and serving the finest pies are a huge part of our story. They’re about taking the time to cook things properly, slow braises, good pastry, big, bold flavours for people to enjoy together. It’s comfort food, Swine-style.”
Pie Nights at The Swine Bistro will run on selected dates, initially kicking off on Wednesday 11 February, with further dates to be added, and are priced from £24 per person.
