Taken together, Bar Leonor is seen as a top destination in Montreal for cocktails, ambiance, and a welcoming, recurring spot to linger over drinks.
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
