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
Bar Leonor is such a cool late-night spot! We went super late, & the speakeasy-style atmosphere made it feel intimate & special. The drinks were really good, & the staff were friendly & chill.
If you're looking for a cozy, low-key spot in Chinatown with a fun, hidden-gem vibe, Bar Leonor is definitely worth checking out!

Les boissons sont bonnes, mais un peu trop chères.
Le menu est très limités, mais le serveur nous a informés qu'ils pouvaient nous offrir pas mal n'importe quelle boisson qu'on voulait.
Ils n'ont pas de menu physique ni même de code QR à scanner. Le serveur nous a dit de simplement chercher le bar sur Google, ce que je trouvais un peu bizarre.
Ambiance de Speakeasy…. J'adore 🥰! Le service est excellent! Assis au Bar c'est toujours la meilleure place pour avoir un excellent service! Les cocktails sont goûteux! Bravo à toute l'équipe! Cheers 🥂
This is the bar that finally made me like gin - & that's saying something. Credit goes to Khaaliq, the kind of bartender you don't just remember, but talk about later like an old friend. You could order off the menu, sure. But the real magic? Tell him what you're into, & he'll come back with something so spot-on it makes you question why you ever drank anything else.
The place itself? Dark, moody, just the right kind of strange. Plants spilling out of corners like the jungle crept in & decided to stay. It felt like a secret, like you weren't supposed to be there, but somehow were. A hidden pocket of the city where you're not a tourist, just someone in the know.
It was the perfect way to start the night. The only regret? Not sticking around long enough to catch the DJ. Next time, I won't make that mistake.
Stumbled across this bar & it's incredible!! Will be returning. Service & drink menu amazing! The drinks: Looney Tunes, Juice box, Gold Stem
All equally well balanced & delicious... The service is to die for tho
