Adrian PhillipsMay 21, 2017Head to the back patio and enjoy a cocktail with some chips, guacamole and salsa. Their daiquiri with pork fat washed Rum is one of the most unique cocktails I've tried in a very long time.
Daniel McDonoughJuly 3, 2015Great cocktail bar with delicious food. Get a bunch of plates and share. Try the tequila shrimp, spinach manchego empanadas, and the pulled chicken tacos. The Michelada is also great.
Get the Shrimp! Get the croquettes! Get the Skirt steak! Get the la Sonambula spicy cocktail! Thank me in the morning! Best place on Smith Street!
How's this place not rated a 10? Trendy LatAm cocktail bar with an extensive list of super creative 🍹 Sit at the bar and trust Jessy to whip up something mind blowing. 😳 the Amor Andino was 👌🏼
- James KiernanMarch 11, 2017Fun vibes, food was great and cocktails were all the rage. Suggest you save room for dessert and order the churros in caramel sauce.
AmateurConciergeAugust 19, 2018Clover Club’s Mexican spot across the street is fantastic. Cocktails that surprise and delight. Food was very good too: croquetas, pupusas, the shrimp joint...guac and hanger steak jus decent tho
- A rare example of perfection executed casually. I love this bar. They focus on agave and cane spirits, tiki and tiki-ish cocktails, and delicious, authentic Mexican food. Chill, but precise.
Good food, mostly great drinks (stick to the clear liquors). Chicken tacos were excellent. Outdoor area is small but nice on a warm night since it allows for a breeze.
Mila MilaAugust 13, 2015EVERYTHING churros and guac especially! Drinks are on point! And service is so attentive, even put two dishes on the house cause of the long wait.
Cocktail GuidenAugust 11, 2023Leyenda is a latin restaurant with an excellent bar, nice vibe and knowledgable bartenders. Exciting, spicy and exotic cocktails. Recommended!
Ryan AmbsDecember 30, 2017Food and cocktails are both solid. Mezcal flight seems like a good idea until you realize you signed up to slam three shots.
monydfnyMarch 3, 2017Cocktails made to perfection. They are so pretty you almost don't want to touch them. Everything I have had is very tasty. Love this place.

Erika PerziJuly 4, 2016Great cocktails, love the shrimp dishes and their salad is da bomb. Nice wine too.
One of my favorites in the area. Great food and super creative cocktails. Definitely try the Daiquiri Al Pastor.
J.R. ReedSeptember 4, 2021Fun vibe — great cocktails and better-than-expected food; portions are just a tad small…go for the fish tacos and flautas!
HolidayApril 19, 2018The Latin inspired cocktails are amazing. Start with the Tia Mia and make your way down the cocktail menu.
Percy CockswainSeptember 14, 2015Excellent spot with a cool vibe. A little pricey so order a pitcher and get more booze for your buck.
Kim FDecember 9, 2022During the holiday season they have a “Sleyenda” theme with fun kitschy decorations and a festive winter menu
Tyler ParkerJuly 28, 2017Summer Shade pitcher is refreshing, slightly smoky, quite delicious! Flowers included!
Extremely easy to rack up a larger bill here than at sister bar clover club
Ross WSJanuary 16, 2017Owned by Clover Club founder Julie Reiner and protege Ivy Mix, Leyenda is a Latin-inspired restaurant bar in Brooklyn.
Interesting drinks, update drinks every so often so its interesting to check out new recipes. Chill back yard.
KatJune 29, 2015Great drinks menu based on Latin American spirits (cachaça, pisco, tequila, mezcal).- La Sonambula cocktail is awesome if you like a little spicy kick.
Emily YeagerApril 26, 2016Inspired cocktails, friendly service and a backyard for all of your outdoor drinking needs.
Great atmosphere and amazing drinks. Loved the Side Hustle cocktail.
Amanda RellaJuly 30, 2018Mix between a restaurant/cocktail bar. Latin themed and drinks are very good.
Adam LaiacanoApril 11, 2016All of the cocktails I had are great, but the bottled Paloma is a real winner.
