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 :)
Visited on Valentine's Day around 10PM, place was very busy but was able to get a table for two very quickly.
Supremely cool ambiance, service, & cocktails. Hit a sweet spot of serving inventive, high quality cocktails in an attractive space without feeling stuffy. Favorite place for drinks I visited all weekend.
Honestly wow! what a nice place! first time & definitely will be back! Amazing service & drinks from Nolan !!! Thanks a bunch for making our Valentine's that much sweeter 🩷
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.
We had a great time! The vibe is great - good music & friendly service. The cocktails I had were so-so but maybe it was just my drink selection. This is a cozy spot for date night or to have a nice chat with friends.
The decor is fine, but nothing new or exciting. Cocktails are around $20 each, which is expensive. Mine was decent, but not even close to worth the price. The whole place feels like a tourist trap with overpriced, average drinks. Not shocked it was empty when we went.

No idea what kind of cocktail wizardry is happening here, but WOW. I told them what I like in terms of taste & they delivered something way beyond expectations. Not just a drink...an entire flavor journey. 10/10, obsessed.
On our last night in Montreal, my partner & I were looking for a quick drink & discovered a hidden gem in Chinatown.
We had the pleasure of meeting Max & Tommy, two amazing guys with a strong passion for mixology. Max really listened to what we liked in our ideal drink & crafted two amazing cocktails specifically for us. Tommy also made us his own incredible custom shots.
Super cool atmosphere. Service was okay. But drinks were SUPER expensive & really small. They use the massive ice cubes that are popular now, & it takes up the entire volume of the drinks. So a 22 dollar drink has about 2 ounces of cocktail in it & about 95% the rest of the volume is just ice.

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!
Leonor is such a hidden gem - perfect for both casual hangouts & date nights. The vibe is amazing: warm, cozy lighting & just the right amount of privacy for good conversations or a chill night out with friends. You can tell they've really put thought into every little detail.
The service is top-notch. The staff are super friendly, attentive, & know exactly what they're doing - it feels like they've been in the game for years. Drinks, atmosphere, music - everything flows perfectly together.
Once you sit down, you honestly won't want to leave. 100% recommend checking this place out if you're in Chinatown!
