The bartender Jerry is an excellent host and very good at his craft. I totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a great drink and a relaxed fun atmosphere.

I went to see a band play, and their bar was pretty sad; they were out of stock on almost all of the alcohol… they only had 3-4 beer options. As for liquor, only whiskey and something else. The bar wasn't even that busy, at most 6 people, and it took about 10 mnts to get the bartender to acknowledge me. The vibe was off. Idk if ill ever come back

I didn't have food, but watched bands play and had some drinks. It was fun, but so empty that I was one of 5 people. All bars are empty these days.

Cool “neighborhood” bar in Midtown. I recall passing by it many times when I lived and worked Downtown and always thought that it looked charming with its vintage and casual exterior decor.
The inside was cozy and I suppose one would even call it elegant for a bar that unlike other venues in the area doesn’t try to be something that it’s not.
The bartender, Jerry, was personable, prepared me an awesome Old Fashioned, and was a natural when it came to introducing me to a few who I assume were his “regulars.” It was nice to just kick back and try something/somewhere different.
I hear that the live entertainment and acoustics here are worth coming back to hear, so I asked Jerry to fill me in on what the expect and told him to look for me again soon.
Reasonably priced, friendly clientele, and a cool bartender (Jerry) who was kind enough to also fill me in on the interesting history of the bar. Give Leon’s Lounge a try if in the Midtown area.

Jerry’s drinks were so delicious and artfully made that I had to leave this review. Great atmosphere, great people, and great music/theatre/art events.

It was the best gimlet I've ever had! The coolest bar with even cooler staff.

Bartender Jerry did a wonderful job tending to my wife and me at the bar on a late Saturday night a few weeks ago. He takes care of the quality of every drink. Taste matters… he made the tastiest Old Fashioned I have ever had. If he won’t drink it himself he wouldn’t serve it to you. By the end of the night he even created a great mocktail for the designated driver. Jerry makes the classic drinks as they should taste and they go well with the charm of the ol’ bar.
