Enjoy delicious cocktails with a twist and South East Asian-inspired street food at Bar Soba on Greek Street.
Of course we all love a Bottomless Brunch, 90 minutes of free flowing prosecco and mouth watering food, what's not to like? But for those of us working a 9-5 on the weekends, we can sometimes miss out on those epic deals.
Well do not fear, as Bar Soba not only host an incredible Bottomless Brunch but they also host a Bottomless Supper too, what a winner.

Bottomless Brunch takes place Friday - Sunday from 12 - 4pm whilst Bottomless Supper kicks off Monday - Thursday from 4 - 9pm. Your booking includes 90 minutes of unlimited booze plus your choice of food from a fresh and exciting menu, all for just £35 per person.
For brunch choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol spritz or melonball and zombie punch cocktails. You can choose one main dish to devour from their brunch menu, including the beloved Chicken Katsu Curry, Thai favourite Pad Thai or the Indonesian staple Nasi Goreng if you're craving something spicy.

Although this will most definitely be enough food, we can't help but mention some of the tongue tantalising sides on offer. The Super Thai Fries smothered in satay sauce, sriracha and soba mayo all topped off with crispy onions and crushed peanuts sound so good that you'll have to order them for the table to share. Other sides include Okra tempura, shrimp crackers and wok fried asian greens in garlic and ginger.
The dessert which we have our eye on is the Japanese doughnut, coated in chilli sugar and served with mango sorbet and a fruit compote. The sides and desserts aren't included in the deal but can be added as an extra for a small price.
The Bottomless Supper includes a choice of two dishes from a small plate menu and is perfect for those who want to try a bit of everything and mix and match. Dishes include Cheeseburger Spring rolls, Duck or Vegetable Gyozas and Mini Teriyaki Beef Noodles. For booze choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol Spritz and a selection of their fun and innovative cocktails.

Whether you're kicking off the weekend or winding down after work, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends and enjoy good food, drink and even better vibes.

This family-run Japanese-inspired cafe is one not to miss.
Okay, so technically this one isn't brand-new...but it is definitely worth shouting about.
Shokupan first opened its doors on Wellington Place in 2022, and since then they have gone from strength to strength serving the people of Leeds with their deliciously fluffy shokupan sandwiches.
So much so, that they have relocated to a bigger and better space smack bang in the city centre on Central Road.
Born out of a passion for cooking at home and travelling overseas, husband and wife team Alan and Alison, swapped jobs in digital marketing and mechanical engineering to bring carefully-perfected recipes to Leeds.

Taking inspiration from trips around the world, including America's west coast where the couple were first introduced to the popularity of Shokupan, returning to normal life after years of being on-the-go seemed like the perfect opportunity to change paths and take a passion for home cooking to a commercial level.
The couple spent time trying and testing the perfect shokupan recipe at home before sending samples to a bakery, who now deliver bespoke batches of the Japanese milk bread to their cafe.
For those unfamiliar with Shokupan, it's a style of Japanese milk bread known for its light, fluffy texture, golden crust and a subtly sweet flavour- and it's truly delicious.

Their new space is just beautiful, light and airy complete with plenty of space for you to perch and enjoy your sando.
And It's safe to say that Shokupan are easily selling some of the nicest sandos you’ll find anywhere in the North.
From classics like the tamago and their British breakfast twist the ‘Spamago’, to the South American-style chorizo sauasage patty version, it’s really quite tough to decide on your favourite.
Their other generously portioned carby mains are a standout, too, with classic katsu curry or the tonkatsu rice bowls with your meat of choice keeping you full for hours.
Wash it all down with authentic imported drink, and you’re laughing.
Vinyl-only 1970s-inspired cocktail bar coming to Leeds from team behind some of the city’s best bars
Clementine Hall
A new cocktail bar is coming to Leeds city centre.
If you know a thing or two about cocktails, or just drinks in general, then you're going to be very excited about this news.
The very talented team behind Roland's on Call Lane and The Domino Club, just to name a few, are setting their sites on a brand-new venture.
Introducing Paper Plane, an intimate new cocktail bar that will be taking over the old Casa site in the city's beautiful Grand Arcade.
Paper Plane will be inspired by the glamour of 1970s air travel and will be a vinyl-only listening bar, serving a world-inspired cocktail menu alongside a carefully curated whisky collection.
The space will be lovely and intimate, with around just 40 covers, designed to transport guests somewhere completely different from the minute they step foot through the door.
And what a location too, joining a whole host of fantastic independents in the arcade such as Alfonso's Deli, Stuzzi and Sonder.
For now, we don't know many more details about the project, but we already know it's going to be exceptional cas anything these guys do turns to gold.
Not only has Roland's been consistently one of the busiest bars on Call Lane since they opened back in 2014, but The Domino Club was recently crowned one of the best cocktail bars in the world. Now that is some accolade worth shouting about.
We'll keep you updated with Paper Plane's progress, but Roland's have stated that the site is hoping to open this coming autumn. So we really don't have long to wait.
