Rising costs are the downfall of yet another restaurant in Leeds City Centre.
It’s becoming way too often that we’re announcing a restaurant closure in Leeds.
It feels as though hospitality venues are struggling now more than ever with the rising costs of just about everything taking over.
Iconic burger restaurant and Leeds favourite, MEATliquor, has just announced its shock closure and it’s safe to say we’re absolutely gutted.


Famed for their stacked burgers, loaded fries and outrageous sundaes, its been a go-to for those looking to fix their hangover in the city centre for eleven years.
Located inside Trinity Shopping Centre on the ground floor, it’s the perfect pitstop when you’re looking to fuel up mid shop.
But, now shoppers will have to fuel up elsewhere.
Posting to Instagram, MEATliquor said: “After 11 years, almost to the day since we opened, we’ve called last orders in MEATliquor Leeds.
“Cost of living up. Cost of beef up. Cost of EVERYTHING up. We’ve poured everything we had into making it work and stay open as long as we can but it’s cheaper to close than to stay open…
“Leeds — thank you for everything, you’ve been AMAZING. The biggest thanks of all goes to our team, past & present, who poured the pints, smashed the burgers and made the magic happen every single day”
And it’s not just us who are upset about it either, comments have been flooding in from MEATliquor fans expressing how much they’ll be missed.
Goodbye MEATliquor, thank you for all the smash burgers, pints and good times.
