Leonards Bar & Bistro

Look, I forgot to ask if there was a Leonard (or two Leonards) at Leonards bar, but I really LIKED my visit there and the lovely NON-alcoholic drink I had.

I was doing DRY JULY: a month of sobriety (for a good cause) and I wasn’t gonna let that stop my bar-hopping ways. Yeah, nah.

So after shopping in the Brisbane CBD, I found Leonards pretty GOLD sign out front and carried my bags of new skirts inside> and Oooh it’s a NICE bar.

There’s a row of bar stools at the bar (my favourite) and time for a mid-afternoon MOCKTAIL please: come at me.

Flipped the menu to the NON-BOOZE page and chose a VIRGIN amaretto sour. The vibe was businessy chill. I watched people pop in for takeaway coffees, as the bartender mixed up my tasty aperitivo drink.

Never heard of Naked Life before (they were all out of Lyre’s) but it was cool to try a new thing while doing sobriety month.

Orangey and twisty. Yum.

There’s not a sports TV in sight – this is not that kind of bar. The music was great, at a not-too-loud level.

Cheers to this lovely spot I had found, before walking to the City Cat ferry and catching a boat home. It was a tops little adventure.
