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.…
