Leonards Bar & Bistro

Brisbane CBD

Leonards Bar & Bistro is an elegant split-level 1930's style restaurant and bar tucked away off Mary Street in the gardens end of Brisbane CBD.

The moody ambient bistro features original hand-made brick walls, with a mosaic-floored bar on the lower level and up a ramp you'll find intimate candlelit dining nooks and an orange leather banquette along one wall.
