      Bar Leonor’s Reinjecting High-energy Nightlife & High-end Cocktails into Chinatown

      Version Anglaise

      Leonor's a proper cocktail bar experience during the day and early evening, but on Friday and Saturday nights? It shifts into a high-energy party.

      Le Mal NécessaireBar PamplemoussePoincaré ChinatownFleurs et CadeauxSans Soleil

      The address, electric bar service, and dancing into the night of Le Mal Nécessaire—before it moved into its present-day digs on the southern edge of downtown—lives again with Leonor.

      It's steered by co-owners Mickey Rizk, Tino Rizk, and Gregoire Merlot—all of whom have earned stripes from Bar Pamplemousse, and brothers Mickey and Tino worked at Mal Nécessaire as well—but with a new direction.

      All that remains, it seems, is walking down into its depths.

      “We’re focusing on creating a proper cocktail bar experience during the day and early evening, but on Friday and Saturday nights, it shifts into a high-energy party vibe with DJs,” says Mickey. 

      “We’re aiming for a space where you can enjoy both great cocktails and a lively atmosphere—something that’s not easy to find in the neighbourhood,” he adds.
