About Leopold's Tavern
Leopold’s Tavern opened with little fanfare in the spring of 2013 in Regina, Saskatchewan. The beat down building at 2330 Albert St. near Leopold Crescent in the midst of the downtown, Cathedral and Crescents neighbourhoods had been a bit of a revolving door of café’s, food joints and bistros. Along came a group of friends with nothing to lose. What they did have was a goal of creating a classic jukebox dive bar atmosphere to be enjoyed by friends, community members, strangers and the unaccustomed alike.
Perhaps the founders had very little design skills or were too busy testing the draught lines but all they could come up with in terms of décor was to “put a bunch of junk on the walls” and open the doors. And when it came time to open the doors there wasn’t quite enough junk on the walls so they said “let’s ask our customers to put their junk on the walls too. It didn’t take long to realize that these items weren’t junk but rather a collection of memories, experiences, the odd accomplishment, some jokes, some tears, all strewn up among the walls and ceilings for the customers to enjoy in their local pub. A story held in each item.
So what exactly is Leopold’s Tavern you might ask?? It’s open to interpretation…it’s whatever you want it to be. It’s your local haunt, your clubhouse, a place to celebrate, your second home, your getaway, a part of your community or even your place of work. Please come down and see for yourself - plug the juke, enjoy our menu of tasty homemade comfort foods and our local, domestic and craft beers. More importantly, enjoy the assortment of friends, family, regulars, misfits and the curious alike that work here, eat here, drink here and play here.
See you at Leo’s.
