Recently, Leeds’ Revolution Electric Press bar was given a huge £300k makeover that turned into a vodka-lovers paradise.
As part of the extensive refurbishment, designers have created several new areas including some all-new dining spaces with large, communal tables and an open-plan dance floor complete with a new lighting show.
The bar has introduced a new ‘vodka land’ theme that will took nspiration from wild and wacky fairgrounds and funfairs – but with an adult twist. No expense was spared, and there's even a cute Dumbo to take photos with.
Now we can't think of many reasons to celebrate than with a bottomless brunch- and the menu at Revolution Electric Press will have you through the doors in no time.
It truly is a brunch classic. On the menu, there's a good few different version of a full English breakfasts: of course, there's the original fry up with free-range fried eggs, crispy bacon, sausages, charred plum tomato, fried mushrooms and a hash brown, served with baked beans and buttered toasted sourdough- but this can easily be swapped out for a veggie or vegan alternative.
Other brekkie favourites are the loaded hash browns. Designed by the Kitchen Manager at Revs Ipswich, the irresistible combination of Hash browns with nacho cheese sauce, free-range fried egg, crispy bacon, roasted red pepper, parsley, spring onions and crushed chilli flakes has made to around the country and onto the permanent menu with great success.
There's also avo on sourdough toast and a stack of pancakes layered with banana, blueberry jam and Nutella, topped with fresh blueberries and cream if you fancy something a little lighter.
However none of these options quite compare to the Brunch Pizza. Think Hand stretched sourdough base, Italian tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, sausages, crispy bacon and a free-range fried egg. It's intriguing and we can't imagine anything better to line our stomachs with.
Drinks-wise, the choices are just as vast and tempting. The bottomless brunch deal includes glasses of Ketel V&T, Aperol Spritz, Prosecco and Bloody Marys, and they're all in addition to Blank Canvas drinks, pints of Amstel, Heineken 0.0% and selected soft drinks for the designated driver.
The menu is truly limitless, so the options don't stop there. On their cocktail upgrade (an extra £10 to their usual deal), you can add pornstar martinis to the brunch’s ninety minute sitting.
Revs at Electric Press will be dishing out delicious grub and a selection of cocktails, vodka and tonics, beer and fizz every Thursday - Sunday from 11am-4pm.
You'd think this would come with quite the price tag, given the massive list of boozy drinks on offer but turns out it's one of the best-value bottomless brunches around. There's a whole 90 minutes of boozy, bottomless fun from just £20- it really doesn't get better than that.
For more information, including how to book your place at the best-value £20 bottomless, head over to the Revolution Electric Press website.

Horsforth Brewery to takeover and save beloved Ilkley tap house
A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
British Pie Week 2026 – all the best places to find a pie in and around Leeds
Clementine Hall
Sweet, savoury, filled or plain: pies are a staple in the British diet.
It's the best week of the year...it's British Pie Week, not that we need much of an excuse to celebrate that flaky, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry, but we're taking all the excuses we can this week to embrace all things pie related.
We've rounded up al our favourite spots to grab a pie, as a lunchtime snack or on the go in the city centre - so take your pick, whatever the occasion.
Dave's Pies and Ales
Kirkstall Road, Burley | Open from 5pm
Images: The Hoot Leeds
Dave's Pies and Ales is locally known as the smallest pub in Leeds - and whilst the menu and seating area might be teeny, what it does do, it does well.
Choose from a range of pies and peas with classic ales on tap to choose from inside this micropub 12-11pm every day of the week.
Whitelocks Ale House
Turk's Head Yard, just off Briggate | Kitchen open from 12pm
Image: The Hoot Leeds
Whitelocks is known in Leeds for its Sunday Roasts, warm fire and homely pub ambience- but their pies are the unsung heroes on the menu.
The beef and ale pie is made from Yorkshire Meat Co. beef, a Wetherby-based supplier that brings beef from the likes of Tancred Grange Farm in Richmond to Leeds. This one is served with chunky chips and sautéed seasonal veg, seat by the fireplace optional.
Pieminister
Duncan Street, Leeds city centre | Open from 12pm

Available as a Sunday roast, bottomless brunch or just a plain old (but beautifully presented) pie and mash, Pieminister is famous for its pies for all the right reasons. On the shelves in your local supermarkets and available as a sit-down scran on Boar Lane, Pieminister is a place where pies are guaranteed to make up the majority of the menu options.
Finer Pleasures
Multiple locations
If you don't know about Josh at Finer Pleasures, then you're seriously missing out. Josh is somewhat of a pie-oneer (sorry), and is the master of creating weird and wonderful pie creations from lasagna pies to gammon, egg and pineapple pork pies.
You can find him over in Crossgates most Wednesdays, but you're best bet is to keep an eye on his socials for the best chance on bagging one of his pies. Trust us, they're like gold dust.
Wilsons Butchers
Austhorpe Road, Cross Gates | Open from 7.30am
Image: Wilsons Butchers
Located in Armley, Morley and Pontfract - Wilsons Pies and Pasties is a small indie chain from Wilsons Butchers and crowned champions of the Yorkshire Small Pork Pie Championships.
At lunch time, the shops offer a true Yorkshire delicacy of pie and mushy pies with optional (but essential) mint sauce. All Wilsons pies and pasties are made using locally sourced produce in Garforth, so these a true Leeds pies, and well worth sampling.
