Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Leon Restaurant & Bar runs a beverage program centered on agave spirits and house cocktails. Bar Director Greg Spuches built a tequila and mezcal selection of 40-plus bottles, and the site maintains a dedicated Tequila & Mezcal page. Cocktails are handcrafted, with margaritas described as perfectly shaken, and the Social Hour menu folds house cocktails into daily happy hour. A guest review on the homepage calls the cocktails delicious. This is a focused, agave-forward list with a clear signature pour rather than a broad spirits inventory.
- What should I order?
- Start with a margarita, described as perfectly shaken. The 40-plus tequila and mezcal selection is the other clear draw, and the Tequila & Mezcal page is the place to compare agave options.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a tequila and mezcal selection deep enough to compare rather than a token few bottles. Cocktail drinkers looking for a handcrafted margarita and house cocktails during Social Hour will find a clear order here.
- When should I go?
- Social Hour runs daily and includes handcrafted cocktails, house cocktails, and margaritas, making it the obvious window for a first drink. For the agave list, any visit works since the tequila and mezcal page reflects the standing selection.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 40-plus tequila and mezcal program built by Bar Director Greg Spuches, with its own Tequila & Mezcal page. That agave depth sits alongside a handcrafted cocktail list that runs through Social Hour every day, giving the bar two clear identities rather than one.
