Wednesday nights are the best with local country bands playing. Plenty of room for dancing and a fun atmosphere. The staff is always friendly..
Great place for a cold beer, good conversations with new friends, and friendly ball busting with weird people like you. Margarita y Blanca are great laughs, Leo is cool too. Burqueno!
Great music, perfect drinks, laid-back atmosphere and excellent service. Great place to enjoy a nice night out and positive attitudes all around.
I have been going to Leos for quite a few years. Its a great place to meet up with friends after work. Or just stop in and make some new friends, like on the weekend, during the day. They have a good band on Fridays and a large dance floor. We always have a good time when we go there, dancing and hanging out with family and friends. Also a great atmosphere. You probably will meet Leo while youre there 😊
Leos bar has always been very good to me. Nothing but good to say about that place. Thats just my opinion.
Do not order a mixed a drink. Order something thats sealed like a beer. There is no booze in the bottle behind the bar.. Just water
I came on a Monday for karaoke and had a blast...big place and friendly staff. Bartender was great, and I was able to sing alot of songs. I gotta come back for Wednesdays karaoke next time.
Leo runs a great bar and is a great host, make sure to introduceyourself. Go see for yourself. Sing till your horse or enjoy good selection of liquor. The pool tables were in good shape too!
Thank you Leo and Yasmin for hosting such a big party on Tuesday!
IT’S IN THE DETAILS: The place has a dive bar feeling to it, if that’s what you’re going for, versus an actual high quality night club environment. They charge a 2.00 credit card fee, and they scam you by increasing prices on weekends, and after certain hours justifying it by saying “it’s a night club.” Not only that, but they don’t even advertise this price change which is sketchy. I’ve been around the country and never seen a bar/nightclub do this, and I’ve been to big cities that have the same style. Steer clear of the manager. She’s inappropriate and not customer friendly, having an attitude like a bulldog that should be more like a security guard rather than a manager. In confronting her on these discrepancies she expresses an attitude and walks away as if having a tantrum. Leo’s, for what they charge, should higher a better manager that is suitable and more appropriate. Other than these significant complaints, drinks are generally mixed good. Just go before “club hours”, bring cash so you avoid getting the credit card extra fee, and make sure you look at every little thing to make sure it’s correct.
Just there to dance...$6.00. Cover. Country band
The music was good, people werent too friendly ,paid $10.00 to sit at a table and $10.00 dollars for 2 waters! Hmm
Hadnt been to Leos in years. Was really disappointed that the once jammin nightclub was now nothing more than a hole in the wall dive bar. Took some friends for their first time, we had one drink and left.
Not a good experience for myself and my friends that only went there to have a good time and guve them business, their staff not too friendly plus the place is way too stuffy.
The ONLY good thing about the upstairs bar is the local music. Other than that, they charge WAY too much for beer. $7-$8 for a bottle is outrageous plus they charge a cover on top of that. Its always really hot in there. The bartenders suck, they have no idea whats going on, they are slow and not that great at customer service. Its a shame because it COULD be a great place for live local music.
Theyve got the best drink prices in town. I used to come here a lot, mostly because of the prices and safe ride home that is provided if you poured on a little too many. It appears patrons have lost interest and are going elsewhere. The place has been pretty much empty the last few times I have stopped in and very few others to meet and socialize with. I like going to a bar thats bumping but every now and then Ill meet up with friends and well take advantage of them drink prices.
I love the place, I don’t speak Spanish, but I am learning through friends and I have grown fawn of this place. The dancing environment is fabulous
While it has some decent atmosphere and drinks are reasonable, there are some serious issues. Charging $2 to use a credit card and not allowing to keep a tab open so they will charge that fee each time. I can understand a minimum, but not a fee each time. Then charging $4 for water for a designated driver... That really does not promote responsible drinking or any good times that could have been had. The bathrooms were cleanish for a bar as one upside.
I was here for a show on Friday night and man, the vibe at this place is wonderful for rock and metal fans. I only saw the upstairs bar, but really liked the space and how great the patrons were. Word of warning, they charge $2 to use a card at the upstairs part, so make sure youve got cash on you if you want to avoid that.
Overpriced drinks and unwelcoming atmosphere. My friend and I chose to stop for a drink this past Saturday as it was our local watering hole a couple years ago. My how times have changed. Definitely NOT for the better. I was charged $11 for a watered down Crown and 7......not to mention the $2 charged on top of that for using a card for payment. I can get the same drink, heck a DOUBLE shot even, for that price elsewhere. Luckily, I ended up at Low Spirits and was reminded that not all local dive bars provide horrible service.This final experience serves as a prime example as to why I wont return to this bar. My money is better spent elsewhere.
Not a bad little place. Stopped in to listen to a band and have a few drinks with friends. The drinks seemed expensive (in comparison to Houston, TX), but might be on par to other local bars. The bartenders were nice, but seemed to spend more time with locals talking - which impacted timelessness of service.
Fun place to have fun meet up with friends and family Monday night karaoke and Wednesday night also❤️💯 friendly staff and awesome owner
Very attentive staff especially on a busy day like Brenton Wood concert ! Respectful environment all around. We were asked for request on music and they played it to their fullest potential we got tired of dancing! We had to take a few breaks to reboot lol. Had a blast!
Neighborhood bar 🍸 Drinks are good its fun
The bartender was extremely rude and the vibe just wasnt pleasant. Theres also like a bunch of front door so that was confusing
Great ambience, service as well.
What a nice surprise when I came to visit from out of state. Its your typical neighborhood bar. The service can be slow on happening nights like the weekends, but really, theres only about 19 people in the entire bar... including my 9 friends.The DJ humored us with our requests. We got to dance the night away and meet unique locals.Not the best decor, but its a functional neighborhood bar. They did have nice lights says one local.When all is said and done, the locals there are super nice and I would love to come back.
We stopped in and was overcharged for drinks. Will never go back and I would never recommend this place. Waitress was also rude.
I really enjoy going to Leos, the staff is great. The KJ there is very accommodating and they owner has a great personality. . I must say, I dont drink alcoholic beverages, but I do have a soda. Now, their sodas are pricey, and I am a Seven-Up and Coca-cola kind of person and they dont serve them. The price does make up because they serve the container with a full glass of ice, and that I like. Wish they had snacks, but even without them, I enjoy going there.
Best bloody mary in the whole damn town! We were saved by Leo himself and he was sweet and funny 😁 Thanks Leo!!
Enjoy this place with my employees on a tough day. The staff have been always wonderful and the only thing i dont like is if you use credit card, youre charged a fee..
Cool spot up stairs but I cant believe its probably the only place in town (besides Baseball arenas & concert amphitheaters) thatll charge $10 entrance cover AND EACH beer like Dos Equiz $8 (with expectancy to tip). HOW do you expect people to come support your events & local bands charging $8 a beer when everywhere else will charge $4 for a Dos Equiz & $5.50 for fine brewed beer like Marble double white. I only gave this 2 stars because of the experience with the bands & people there but 0 for the owners greed. This place would be packed if better pricing.
Wonderful wait staff. Welcoming of all its guests. Even in the midst of a party, they held it down and all were served efficiently. I hour the next time Im in Albuquerque I can visit this location.
This place is amazing! A nice, well stocked bar with bartenders who really get to know you even if its your first time there. They do karaoke too!
Every time ive been their liquor department has only like 4 miniatures of fireball left. Always out of stock. But the bars a nice place to kick back and get a drink
This is a really great place to get a quick cocktail after a hard days work. Leo the owner mingles with the patrons to make sure your getting your drinks and having a good time at leos I love his free drink calls
Awesome bar, friendly staff,very good service,and also a great place to hangout with friends ,family. As well as meeting new people..Hope to see any and everyone here at Leos Bar / nightclub.. #1 nightclub in NM chi chi Chao!!!!
Too much change...Kinda pricey now, beer is $7 no matter the brand (from what I was told by the bartenders) and the mixed drinks are $11 as well. Plus, the $10 entrance fee per person and they no longer have both floors open unless they hire/book someone for upstairs. Lets not forget the $2 fee for everytime you use a card (debit card) to pay. I use to like coming here but dont plan on it anymore, sadly.
It was dead we went on a Friday night for happy hour a group of 6 of us. They didnt have any Corona btls upstairs. They didnt have enough glasses for the drinks and its not as if they were too busy for someone to run some up... This place has gone down hill.
Leos is a great place. And maybe more 50s and 60s music on Taco Tuesday. This would attract more locals. Tacos are excellent. Maybe one nite again puro oldies. Got my vote.
The bartender had no idea how to make anything, and had to charge $2 extra to run credit cards. When charging my card, the ONE bartender for the whole place had to run downstairs, leaving other customers behind for several minutes. Way overpriced, dirty, and difficult to access.
Maybe a 2 and a half stars cus the music is good. But I paid $8 each beer and then they wanna charge $3 for a cup of water. I guess Ill only come here if I have a date to pay for me cus I cant afford to come here regularly. Cuesta muncho para tomar aqui. Hasta la agua cuesta como cervesa. Este listo para gastar el todo cheque aqui.
Very good music. Several levels to the bar. Fairly well priced drinks. Crowded mexican bar. But all in all lovely service and cool ambience.
Great place and love the karaoke mondays.The service is friendly they make you feel right at home.Even regular people are are friendly and smile and make you feel welcomed.well worth going any day.
Waitress to a long time to serve us. 15 minutes too long. We did not like the atmosphere.
It’s a nice place friendly staff and people very good vibe nice music, I will definitely be going back.
Great atmosphere Leo is very friendly, So is Charlotte and ALLAN is too much fun i go for kareoke on mondays and wednesday and always have a blast!!! Check it out . fun times.🎤🎶🎵🎼
Two dollar you call its during the week, free burgers in Saturday enough said this place is great with a authentic Albuquerque feel it will have you saying or what by the time you leave like this were eerrrwhaaaaa.

I was here Tuesday October 8th and the new bartender was amazing. Definitely my number one spot to go wherever I come through this a
Just a nice place... Ill come here all the time! Nice people, nice place..
Not my type of place. If you like Mexican music then its a great place for you. Its pure mojo music.
Very friendly place. Leo came over and introduced himself. Karaoke was great. Cant wait to visit again.
ME AND TWO FRIENDS GOT THERE AND PAID 10$TO GET IN AND THAN WE WALKED TO BAR AND ASKED FOR A BEER AND SHE SAID 7$ FOR A CAN BEER TECATE LIGHT, SO WE SAID NO THANKS AND WALKED TO MANAGER, THE MANAGER WOULD NOT REFUND THE COVER CHARGE, THEY WOULDNT CALL THE OWNER, AND STAFF WAS LAUGHING ABOUT IT! SO WE WALKED OUT. ILL NEVER GO BACK .
If your looking for a down to earth take your friends and coworkers place to relax, perhaps bust a move with a happy dance. Karaoke anyone? See you here @ leos. Candelaria & good old 12 tht. Abq,. P.s. be on the lookout for Betty bopping the always smiling bouncing bar keep.
Local dive bar. Took forever to get a drink at the upstairs bar when I went to check out a local band here. Nothing special but an ok place to grab a beer and forget aboyhong things fors a spell.
Great place to enjoy a cool beer good food..and the best thing about Leos the love that this place gives..thanks for all u do for the community..ur a blessing..
Gave the bartender $100 for a beer and she gave me only $6 back. They take more money than they need for drinks. Terrible bar.
HORRIBLE!! Brenton Wood??? Dont even get me started!!! I paid $25 for a Rap show, BW finally decided to appear for a damn hour??!! Basically a night of karaoke as far as Im concerned. Never will I pay to see him again.
Old School bar- Bandito hang out- free chicharrons on sundays- my Band plays there - these kinda bars wont be around forever- some characters here- but dont be scared
Great time and upstairs patio made it much better w moonlight view. Great artists performing up stairs!
Great outside bar! All the staff was very friendly. Good happy hour drink specials.
You pay to get in, and then you have to pay ,,$30 to seat at a table. Bathrooms were not attended to, and ran out of toilet paper and paper towels...
Very nice experience ... Bartenders and waitresses were very nice and Leo is a down to earth guy good Gente ....
Live entertainment. Free food. Safe ride home! Nice dance floor. What more could you ask for?
Fun place and good music owner was very helpful and thoughtful with disabilities needs the owner is really a great person
Simply put, a great hole in the wall. Def my kind of place, karaoke was great as well
First time going... Was charged a 9 dollar entry fee. (Wow) and It was REAL slow on that Saturday night. Small place, looked like it could use an update.
Ladys restroom to nasty, drinks to expensive. Even when charging. Over all nice music .
Leos bar does not promote designated driver or safe rides home policies.A coke for a designated driver is $5 WHILE A DRINK IS $3-$4.
Wonderful people working there. Friendly and very welcoming. Felt at home and safe there.
Was really a fun place Love karaoke there. ❤️
Last of the old Mexican cantinas, dive bar with reasonable day prices and friendly help. If you arent looking for a real dive move on.

Best bar in town. Friendly staff members. Luv the Music and dancing.
Great place to relax
Fun place. Leo is very helpful in making sure you have a good time here. Go visit Leos soon
Drink prices are outrageous. Sitting here now just waiting to hear Created To Kill play and Im not even going to have a drink. $5 to even get a soda. $5 or $6 for a beer.
Way over priced everything a bottle of water 5 dollars a can of beer 6 dollars i know the place was closed for a year but its more than expensive
Fun place to hang out and meet all my friends and good variety of bands.
Good music, staff very friendly , only wish they make it bigger.
Even as a dive bar this place needs to spend some money on decor and fixing the broken walls.
Good place for a drink, plus they offer safe ride just in case
Ringing bell gets you A FREE drink when the boss man is around...lol
Fun place great staff and free yummy tacos on Tuesdays 4 to 7
