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!
Great mai tai, which isn't easy to find in Montreal. Cool vibe although I am probably 20 years too old to hang here regularly. Not to say I was made to feel uncomfortable. The location is perfect & the layout is nice. Can feel a bit claustrophobic if you're not used to low celings & below-ground-level spaces. Offers a solid choice for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail in Chinatown.
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!
This bar is amazing. Awesome drinks, friendly staff. Its such a cute retro vibe inside as well. It was so good that we came back a second time within a few days. Tommy was a legend & Max too! Would definitely recommend!!
Such a vibe! From the moment you step inside, the dim red lighting, intricate tilework, & mix of textures (plush couches, tall stools, & intimate bar seating) set the stage for a night that's equal parts stylish & welcoming. The aesthetic nails that vintage speakeasy feel, but without a hint of pretension...just pure, unforced cool.
On a Saturday night, the soundtrack was a love letter to old-school hip-hop, & when DJ Cristobal U took over at 11 PM, the energy soared with deep cuts & classics that had the crowd buzzing. The music, like the space, felt curated but never try-hard...just genuine, good-energy beats.
But what truly sets Bar Leonor apart is the people. The bartenders, Adrian & Mickey (one of the owners), are the kind of warm, engaging hosts who make you feel like a regular from your first visit. Despite the busy night, they took time to chat, share stories, & showcase their craft with passion.
We started with the Looney Tunes, a playful yet sophisticated opener, then dove into a lineup of drinks that each felt like a revelation: the Juice Box (bright & inventive), Saturn (balanced perfection), Ciao Pescao (refreshing with a twist), & Wooden Ships (complex & smoky). Picking a favorite was impossible...they were all so good
Bar Leonor has instantly become a go-to spot for us. Between the stunning atmosphere, killer music, world-class drinks, & staff who treat you like friends, it's the kind of place that makes for the perfect night.
The experience they offered was spotless. The bartender knew his spirits, asked the right questions & served us with a smile. He let us taste a non alcoholic amaretto which was amazing as I don't drink & offered to make me a virgin amaretto sour which was spectacular. He catered to each of my friends tastes & they were all left with a drink they loved. The cocktail menu was well seasoned & varied while offering a creative approach to classics & their own fun creations. They were all balanced in flavors hitting the mouth well rounded as you sip. Water was served immediately after sitting at the bar & when you enter the place a friendly host/waitress guided us to our seats & offered arrangements for our group. All with a smile. Later we met the two brother who own the place that were gracious, humble & cultured. They had the capacity to make everyone they spoke to important, which made the experience have a cherry on top. When the bill was presented the prices were fairly priced. The vibe was spot on everyone was vibing to the dj who was playing tasteful house, we even danced a little. The bathrooms & floor was clean & there was a security man at the door guaranteeing guests their security. Overall a fantastic experience & definitely a go to bar for dates, friend hangs or even going solo. I have no doubt this bar will climb to be a hot spot of the night life in Montreal rapidly. Bravo 👏
