Unfortunately I don't recommend this place unless you are paying in cash. I came out on Dec 7 thinking I was going to have a good time. The only good time was had was by the they/them bartender with my bank card. I had 2 happy hour drinks $8.50 to $9.00 each. I get my bank statement that following Monday. I have not only the 2 happy hour drinks but, a $12.00, $15.00, another $15.00 and a $ 24.00 dollar one. I called, they wouldn't answer the phone. I went up there and showed them but they never responded back to me. Just becareful. it wasn't a mistake. I always cashout my drinks as soon as I get them. Definitely some shady activity @ Leons back door.

This is such a fun atmosphere. I went here a few weekends in a row when I was in the area for work. Everyone is so nice and the drinks are pretty decent. A lot of the younger guys, like under 25, call it a dive bar. It's not a fancy establishment by any means, but I would categorize it at least one step above a dive bar. The front portion is a bit more divey, but the back bar is a fun neighborhood place that I would love to visit on weekends if I lived in the area.

Predominantly white middle-aged gay mens bar located in downtown Charles village Baltimore. Customer services friendly. I don't consider Leon's a cruise bar. Leon is a legendary bar. Drinks aren't too great, in my opinion

If anyone knows the guy who beat the head security guard up Paris Lamar please like this post I was a witness Wednesday and the police only spoke to two white people and not everyone that security guard is always messing with someone even when they turn him down something needs to be done about it. Again if anyone knows the guy who was arrested please email me. Definitely have a lawsuit

Alcohol is like a girl who is popular, in a logging camp, because she is the only girl within 75 miles. (OK, so maybe I am just jealous.)
Went out for drinks with a friend on October 12 and couldn't believe how little the bartender, Sven, cared. A customer knocked over a glass and it shattered onto the floor. He made no effort to clean up the broken glass despite multiple patrons asking him to. He kept saying "I'll get it after my shift." It was hardly midnight and he was just going to let a safety hazard sit there for another 2 hours. Someone could have easily gotten hurt. That's just not acceptable

This place is going to hell. The staff is getting drunk at work. The security guard can not stop flirting with customers or threatening to hurt people. The bathrooms are dirty and full of mice and flies. I will be contacting the City of Baltimore concerning this bar. When ever someone ask for the manager the tall white guy or the security guard they are ALWAYS rude. I heard that the security guard is going yo court for putting his hands on some one. Just last night I witnessed him talking rudeness about another customer to customers. This is poor business. My friends come here when we are in town to by drinks and spending over 200 dollars in one night apiece and it’s 6 of us. This is not acceptable. The city of Baltimore will learn about this. I will also be reporting the security actions to the state governors office and security licenses professionalism board as well. I am contacting a friend to gather his information when I return to the bar today.

This is the go-to dive bar for any members of the LGBTQ community. It’s always a fun and relaxed time coming here with a group of friends. Everyone is always really nice and you can strike up a conversation easily with most patrons at the bars - there’s one in the front and another in the back. I enjoy the music that plays here, the front bar normally plays current pop hits while the back bar is playing classic gay anthems. There is also some really fun karaoke nights hosted here if you are into that. Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is just looking to go out and have a nice chill time sitting at a bar and chatting it up with friends and locals, it’s definitely not something along the lines of an Eagle per say.
