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.

Had an absolutely lovely first time at Leonor this weekend. I had correspondance with staff via email to reserve for a big group & the team was super responsive & accommodating to my party. Upon arrival & throughout the night, we were met with a warm & friendly staff who were so helpful, even suggesting speciality drinks to us. The drinks themselves were very good & varied for all tastebuds. The space is intimate but not claustrophobic. I would highly recommend this spot for a little weekday nightcap or a weekend hang.
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!
Electric place. Our server - I didn't get her name, but she is extremely friendly & energetic & I believe mentioned she was Taiwanese & has a cat with her husband - was so much fun to chat with. She gave us some tiger balm & essential oils to smell & use. It was so nice!
If you see this - remember to listen to Isaiah Rashad & put him on your playlist! Listen to RIP Kevin Miller. Your music was so great!

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 :)
Def best of the best. Try their expresso martini & you won't regret it. Christina & the rest of the staffs is super friendly & genuine, I love this place so much
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 🩷
