Tommy was an absolutely amazing bartender! He recommended one of the best cocktails I've had. I will absolutely be coming back to this bar whenever I'm in Montreal
We had an amazing time at Bar Leonor with our server Tommy! He recommended a great custom drink that was one of the best cocktails I've had. The service was amazing & the seating was great for talking.

Best cocktails I've had in mtl!! The bartender is so talented. The aesthetic is a vibe. Plus really good deals on the pitcher.. will definitely be back
The drinks were perfect but what really made this was our bartender Adrian! The nicest staff we encountered all week while in Montreal. We'll definitely come back & recommend to friends. Ambiance, friendliness, & drinks were incredible. :)
Wonderful little gem of a bar in the old mal nécessaire location. I loved the drinks & the staff were welcoming, super friendly & created drinks based on our preferences. 10/10 would recommend!
Incredible drinks & amazing service. One of the bartenders made me a Tiki drink with Hennessy (it had a Japanese name I can't remember) & it changed my life.

I've literally never been to a bar better than this! My boyfriend & I came to this bar every night we were in Montreal because the drinks were incredible & the service was amazing. Can't wait to visit again!
This will definitely be one of my new favorite places to grab a drink. My bartender took great care of me & made exactly what I was in the mood for. The quality of service makes you appreciate the kind of experience we all deserve & it naturally makes you want to leave a good tip without hesitation. Thank you for the awesome service! 🍸
My friend & I enjoyed the drinks. The service was fast, & the waiters polite. The ambience is cozy. My only complaint would be the cramped seating, & some seats being way too close to the speakers. My friend & I could not talk properly.
My friend is vegan, & the bar staff was very kind in helping us navigate vegan drinks.
I would recommend this bar for a casual outing with friends or a lowkey date :)

We had a great time here! Service was great & the drinks were delicious. The vibes are really intimate & the music choices were nice. It was also interesting to hear about the history of the bar & its transition from the previous bar that occupied the space. Also, the margarita pitcher was so worth it lol.
Great bar. We had an awesome server named Max, he really made the experience great, he knew what he was talking about & was super friendly. Will be coming back!
Beautiful place & wonderful people. I had some fun trying their rice infused pisco. Such a wonderful experience. On my one-night stay in Montreal, I am so glad that I visited Bar Leono
