The Sky Lounge on Granary Wharf are offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the city with a side of bottomless brunch!
There are lots of bottomless brunch offerings in the city, but this one is a showstopper and perfect for a celebration. For only £30 a head you can enjoy two courses from an extensive menu alongside 90 minutes of bottomless drinks, all whilst enjoying incredible rooftop views of Leeds. This brunch has been listed in the top 10 bottomless brunch spots in the UK and it is no surprise why.
Choose from bottomless pornstar martinis, prosecco, Aperol spritz and loads more. If you don't drink then not to worry, there's also a selection of freshly squeezed fruit juices on the menu if you're the designated driver.

To wet your whistle, you will be served a selection of continental meats and cheeses for the table. You can then pick one of the mouthwatering mains from a menu consisting of breakfast classics. The 'Sky Fry' is the closest thing you'll find to your full english, whereas the chicken 'n' waffles drizzled with maple syrup will transport you across seas for that all American experience.

There's also options for vegans, such as posh beans on malted bloomer or creamy cashew mushrooms on toasted sourdough with truffle oil. The stand out dish for me looks like the chorizo and sweet potato hash with caramelised onions, topped with deliciously runny poached egg, yum! Both the food and drink menu have enough options to make sure all of your party leave satisfied.
As we step into Spring and welcome back sunnier days, this is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself and your friends to a day filled with fantastic food, even better views and one too many pornstar martinis!
The offer is on both Saturday and Sundays from 11:00am - 16:00pm and bookings can be made via their website. Find out more here.

Manchester's favourite Mexican bar is about to become your newest nightlife destination in Leeds.
It's been a long time coming, but Salon Madre is officially ready to open in Leeds.
Although we may have to wait a little bit longer for Madre, the day-to-night eatery that has made waves over in Manchester and Liverpool, Salon Madre, its lively tequila bar and pool hall sibling, is officially opening on Friday 20 February.
Salon Madre, which will be located just around the corner from Madre at 114 Wellington Street, is where the party really gets started.

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by countless trips to Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of both Madre and Salon Madre.”
Madre Leeds will open soon and you can even grab yourself a free margarita by signing up to their newsletter here.
We’ll keep you up to date with their opening times but for now, we'll see you at Salon Madre for a boogie, margarita and game of pool next week.
Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
