Looks creepy and dark

Came in vibe was ok, service sucked the bartender basically had to time to explain to us how he never has people in there so he’s trying to get everyone situated, he’s sorry he talks so much but that he will be with us shortly. Then proceeded to that 4 more times with other people or was just chatting at the other end of the bar… 30 min we got a drinks, he offered to make us free shots or cocktails for the wait, when we asked about them another 20 min later he asked if we could wait longer.. honestly it was super weird. Live music was good though

This dive bar has such an interesting vibe! It’s exactly what you would expect, an old school hole-in-the-wall. My group went to listen to a blues band (The Lightin Brothers) and we were NOT disappointed! (It was however extremely load) The bar tender was nice and it had a surf documentary playing on the bars TV. I got 2 Rum and Cokes and it only cost $11.

Holy hell how are you guys still around and not Mongoose across the street? Back in '17 I went bar hopping with some friends and your bartenders flipped me off when I asked for a whiskey highball. Whiskey + topo is all I was literally asking for and they treated me like I was asking for a French 75 with gold foil. I haven't even bothered to go by since then because the Team Edward vibes wasn't worth it but a recent acquaintance bringing up a similar problem made me do a double take.

The staff was very friendly. The atmosphere in the lounge is cozy and comfortable. We didn’t have to wait for our drinks. We also enjoyed a great live band called Hatbox.. this style of music was perfect for this Lounge. We really enjoyed ourselves. Looking forward to our next trip out to Leon’s ..

Revised review: we had a great time here, the music was amazing, and the staff were great. But the lady at the door (who was very nice, by the way) forgot to tell us that there was a difference in price in the cover charge if you pay cash or credit card. When I tried to let the company know, I got an incredibly nasty, petty, immature reply. I tried to let them know what was wrong. The person refused to give me their name even though I asked who I was messaging with. Incredibly unprofessional. I will not be going back. It's such a shame. A simple apology and show of appreciation for my business would have kept me a happy customer. It's a test case in self-sabotage.

Great old-school dive bar and a definite place to visit. Supposed to be the oldest operating bar in Houston.
