This new bottomless brunch in Leeds comes with unlimited margaritas and mojitos

There's eggs three ways, loads of pitta options and all to be washed down with unlimited cocktails at one of Leeds latest bottomless brunch options.

Cosmopolitans, Margaritas, Mojitos, 'spicy' wine, Prosecco, beer- need we say more?

It's fair to say that Leeds comes with plenty of bottomless brunch options. In fact, we've written almost 100 articles to date about all the bottomless options around- and if that doesn't blow your mind, we're still finding a good few new options to add to our list every single week.

This week, we discovered Basco's MMXX, a hidden-in-plain-sight cafe and bistro, serving up all sorts of boozy options every weekend. This place first appeared to be offering up something special in the height of lockdown 2020, but it's only in the last twelve weeks that the space has really come to life.

In the week, expect coffee, cocktails and plenty of wholesome food options. Focusing on eggs for every meal, as well as healthy specials like açai bowls and quinoa stuffed peppers- this is the sort of place we imagine sitting back for hours as the world goes by, and we slowly get through a stack of food that's as tasty as it looks.

During the weekend, there's a different reason to be visiting Basco's, and it has a lot to do with their free-flowing fizz. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday guests can expect a full 90 minutes of drinking as many glasses of Prosecco and strawberries and Mythos beer as possible.

Just just £4 extra, add cocktails to the menu and take on the classics like a refreshing Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Mojitos, or even try the house specials, the Basco's 'Spitz', Frozen Daiquiri or 'spicy' wine.

On the food menu, there's plenty of options too. Think brekkie options, with all the eggs included: there's poaches eggs with bacon and hollandaise sauce, Eggs Royale or smashed avo with eggs to choose from.

If you're not an egg-eater, there's the Triple Bacon and Chips to take on- which is pretty self explanatory or have your pitta three ways: with pork, chicken or veggies.

These options in particular sound like a great hangover cure, within a bottomless brunch to us and will surely help to line the stomach for even more boozy flavours- which definitely isn't a bad thing.

Iconic Leeds venue The Reliance to be brought back to life under new name ‘The Smithfield’

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

The Reliance, a much missed North Street site, is being brought back to life as The Smithfield.

The Smithfield is set to be a new social eatery and pub focused on seasonal, produce-led dining.

Set to open its doors to the people of Leeds in early April, The Smithfield will pay homage to the local area through both its produce and people.

The venue will focus on proper plates of seasonal ingredients, pairing a relaxed dining style with a strong sense of community. Sounds pretty brilliant if you ask us.

Building on the legacy of North Street, The Smithfield is a collaborative project between Yorkshire brewery Crooked Brewing and chef James Donovan.

Steve Dawson, co-founder of Crooked Brewing, has long admired The Reliance and want to build on its established legacy.

“What The Reliance was doing was cutting edge for its time,” says Donovan. “We want to bring that same vision and energy into Leeds in 2026. Our aim is to pick up the culinary torch that The Reliance left behind and continue its legacy of great food in Leeds,” adds Dawson.

The Smithfield takes its name from Church Street’s historic connection to the Smithfield cattle market of the early 1800s, once located on what is now Lovell Park.

“We really want the people around us to feel that The Smithfield is their space,” says Dawson. “We want to give them a place at our table.”

We'll keep you updated with an opening date as and when we know, but we're very excited indeed.

They always fill stages with musicians and vocalists, for incredible funk n soul live shows.

The bands huge hits include Back on 74, Casio, and Busy Earnin’, from four top-10 albums including 2023’s groundbreaking Volcano.

The upcoming Leeds date forms part of the band’s upcoming world tour, which arrives in the UK in November 2026 following a string of international performances across Europe, North America, and beyond.

Fans can expect a setlist jam packed with standout tracks, including fan favourites such as ‘Volcano’ and
‘Back On 74’ and newer material from their upcoming album ‘Sunshine’, released on 14 August
that continues to push the band’s signature sound forward.

With over 3.4 billion streams to their name, Jungle’s Leeds show is set to be one of the hottest tickets of 2026 so we wouldn't mess about if we were you.
