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!
Great 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.
Head 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.
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 ????????
Fun vibes, food was great and cocktails were all the rage. Suggest you save room for dessert and order the churros in caramel sauce .
Clover 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
Yes, there’s a fireplace , but you won’t find ski-lodge vibes here. Instead, you’ll find Latin-inspired cocktails (like the Witching Hour with tamarind liqueur and celery bitters ) and addictive snacks . Read more
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.
EVERYTHING 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 .
Leyenda is a latin restaurant with an excellent bar , nice vibe and knowledgable bartenders . Exciting, spicy and exotic cocktails . Recommended!
Leyenda’s menu is heavy on the spirits of Central and South America (tequila , mezcal , rum and pisco are common players) alongside a similarly Latin-inflected menu by Suenos chef Sue Torres . Read more
Food and cocktails are both solid. Mezcal flight seems like a good idea until you realize you signed up to slam three shots.
Cocktails 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.

Great 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 .
Fun vibe — great cocktails and better-than-expected food; portions are just a tad small…go for the fish tacos and flautas !
Ordered Hurricanes during Hurricane Henri. They were excellent.
The Latin inspired cocktails are amazing. Start with the Tia Mia and make your way down the cocktail menu .
Excellent spot with a cool vibe. A little pricey so order a pitcher and get more booze for your buck.
During the holiday season they have a “Sleyenda” theme with fun kitschy decorations and a festive winter menu
Summer 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
Interesting drinks, update drinks every so often so its interesting to check out new recipes. Chill back yard .

Mix between a restaurant/cocktail bar . Latin themed and drinks are very good.
Excellent drinks and food in a fun, casual space.
Sonambula cocktail , skirts steak a MUST
All of the cocktails I had are great, but the bottled Paloma is a real winner.
Cute place; strong drinks ; the panuchos are a must, but skip the mole
Excellent cocktails , charming decor and theme.

LOVED IT. Glad to see places like this still exist. Beer list was excellent, as was the bartender's (Catherine?) music list. - Donald Byrd O
Fantastic brunch, even better cocktails and ample seating make this place worth the trek if you are a non-Brooklynite. - Razorfish
The bar's backyard is outfitted with bright blue and red tables and benches, tiki-hut roofs and funky Pacific Island-themed torches and decor. It's a fun little hidden gem. - Gothamist
Beyond incredible. Diggin the pistachio but, if you get a cone, you can have 1 scoop of 2 different flavors! - Zohray
Lovely bookstore. Great for adults and kids. Helpful and friendly staff. Support local bookstores! - Taty Sena
