Hidden inside the Grand Arcade, Better Days is Leeds first and only mental health and wellness bar.
Since opening last summer, the popular cafe-bar continues to be the only bar that offers mental wellbeing support completely for free.
There's walk-and-talk outs, self-care and mindfulness sessions and a whole host of feel-good activities like Mamma Mia themed zumba to get involved in.
Taking care of one's self can also involve plenty of delicious food and drink, so when we heard that a bottomless brunch was on the menu, we couldn't help but have a look at what's on offer.
In short, there's a whole lot of pizza, Prosecco and pints- not that anyone is complaining. Choose from either sweet waffles drenched in Nutella, strawberries and a whole lot of sugar or a sizaeable pizza with all your favourite toppings like.
Let's face it, what's more feel-good than pizza and waffles, really?

With the aim of bringing joy to the neighbourhood, this Leeds bar really do know how to fill us with our favourite things.
On the drinks menu, there's unlimited Aperol Spritz, as well as the house lagers and Prosecco offerings- but that's just the beginning.
The amber jewels in this crown of bottomless brunches are the pornstar martinis on the menu. This is the only bottomless in Leeds that includes any and all cocktails on the menu and there's no shame in taking full advantage of that.
Espresso Martinis, Woo Woos and Passionfruit Daiquiris are just a few examples of the offerings here.

“Music, honestly brings people together so much, we have strangers meeting, making friends and singing together for the first time,” said the restaurant in an Instagram post.
We can certainly see how a bottomless would make the experience here all-the-more exciting, without losing any of the intimacy of the bar, nor losing its edge as a wellness-based cafe.
At £35 per person, this bottomless is great value given its cocktail options and if you're a sucker for an afternoon pornstar martini or need espresso-based booze to get through the night, this is well worth opting for.

Now you're talking our language.
Souvlaki Corner told The Hoot: "We’re excited to confirm that Souvlaki Corner will be opening a new site in Morley, Leeds. Our targeted opening is in around four weeks, although we don’t have an exact opening date yet and will confirm this closer to the launch.
"One of the highlights of the new restaurant will be a traditional Greek spit where we will cook whole lamb in the proper Greek way. It will be cooked over charcoal to give the authentic Greek flavour that people would experience in Greece.

They continued: "Souvlaki Corner was created to bring authentic Greek street food to Leeds, focusing on freshly grilled souvlaki, gyros, and traditional flavours served quickly and affordably. Since launching our first location, the response from customers has been fantastic, and Morley felt like the natural next step as we continue to grow."
