Stopped by Leon’s lounge and tried the new Xmas menu. Tried the “Santa’s cookies” and it was like a minty White Russian. Definitely would recommend for a solo or group mission. Great atmosphere and decor. Nice staff and service!

Jerry was great with the cocktails based on my liquor preference. He made me some delicious drinks such the Sidecar, and a Whiskey Sour. This place is a cute, cozy older gem that is great for date night. I plan to come back on one of their Wednesday open mics to check out local artist talent. Thanks for the great drinks and hospitality, Jerry!

I used to come to this bar about 20 years ago when they had pool tables. We would walk next door from WCG law firm, and it was very convenient to have a few drinks while traffic cleared up. The bar looks nice and still great to visit. We had a Scarlett (owner) drink 🍸, which is a lemon 🍋 drop martini. The bartender was great and friendly.
