With an expensive Christmas behind us and the anxiety of not knowing what 2022 will hold, it feels almost as if nobody quite wants to go into the New Year. We'll all be digging a little deeper in our pockets over the next few weeks, but thanks to Almost Famous, there's no reason we should have to go without eating out and enjoying a well-deserved burger.
Only a month ago, the popular Leeds restaurant declared that they have found the ‘best burgers ever’, and although they might be a little bias, their juicy burgers haven’t failed us yet, so we were happy to take that risk.
Changing their production method to produce tender fall-apart burgers, the menu now consists of the brand's best burgers to date- including new Juicy Double burger.

This burger is all about the flavour. It strips back all the extras to let you concentrate on the ‘juiciness’ of the burger, but what it makes up in added toppings, it more than makes up for in flavour. Plus, its double in size, which helps.
Double cheese, double burger patties and double sauce: the Juicy Double is the best way to try the new Almost Famous burgers, just don’t forget to double up the rest of your dishes for a true supersize meal.
There are plenty of other burgers to choose from though, including their classic Blame It On the Whiskey burger.

Double cheeseburger, wonderdusted waffle fries, chipotle hot honey, BBQ pork, crispy pepperoni, jalapeño and onion, bacon bacon mayo, redneck BBQ with cholula- this is an epic concoction of flavours you won't want to miss out on.
Of course, you'll need something to pair with these epic burgers, and the loaded fries from Almost Famous come almost exclusively with bacon rain- a highly recommended treat.
If this doesn’t make you want to get off the sofa after New Years Eve, we don’t know what will. The Great George Street location will be offering this unreal deal throughout the entire of January, but booking is always advised to avoid disappointment.
If you want to try one of the most delish burgers around at half the price (or two for the price of one, no judgement here), then book your seat at the table on the Almost Famous website.

Call Lane bar closes down for good after almost a decade in Leeds
A popular bar and nightlife spot on Call Lane has closed its doors for good this weekend.
Revolución de Cuba - or Revs de Cuba, to most of us - announced the imminent closure of its Leeds bar last week, and went out with a 'final fiesta' on Saturday.
The venue opened on Call Lane, right in the heart of Leeds' nightlife heartland, back in 2015, and remained open after the collapse of Revolution's parent company back in January 2026.
The group's other venue in the city, Revolution at the Electric Press, did close immediately in January.
Revs de Cuba was famed for its Latin-inspired food and cocktails, and its late-night parties that tried to recreate the party atmosphere of Cuba.
The two-storey venue also had live music throughout the week, plus dancers and entertainment at the weekends.
Posting a statement to followers, Revs de Cuba wrote: "We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years, but as of today, 15th August 2026, we will sadly be closing our doors in Leeds.
"We want to extend an enormous thank you for joining the Revolucion party and making some unforgettable memories.
"Any guests with bookings will be contacted in due course - Thank you for your patience and understanding. Goodbye and Gracias."
Commenting on their farewell post, one person wrote: "Noooooo! I had the best nights ever at Revs. I have the best memories. This cannot be trueeee."
Another said: "Thanks for so many years of Live Music and Joy."
And someone else posted: "what a place, end of an era."
The existing Revs de Cuba site in Leeds is under the steer of the NEOS Hospitality, who have revealed grand plans for its future...
Leeds United’s Anton Stach has launched his very own burger at a local indie – and it’s all for a good cause

If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
