Leslieville's new drinks-first bar on Queen East
Leslieville has no shortage of restaurants, but it was missing a bar people actually go to for the cocktails. Bar Bokeh fills that gap on Queen Street East.
It's small, and the first weeks ran shoulder to shoulder. Go early in the week if you want an actual seat.

Made the trip to the East End to check out Bar Bokeh, and it was totally worth it. The cocktail program here is seriously impressive. Tried the Mango Sticky Rice, Moringa Butter, and Winter Melon Ramos, and every drink was so well balanced with great flavors. The cocktails were creative, smooth, and honestly reminded us of some of the amazing cocktail bars in Hong Kong. 💜 The plates was such a great match with the drinks. The mala chips had a nice kick, the shrimp toast was crispy and savory, and the seabream crudo was fresh and beautifully done. The stuffed wings were phenomenal!!! expertly deboned and presented in a way that made them effortless to eat while preserving all the flavor and juiciness. The banana pudding was probably my favorite part—so good and something I could eat anytime. The soft serve was also a perfect finish.

Recently went to Bar Bokeh in Leslieville and was honestly impressed. The east end has been missing a place like this. The interior is beautiful, the vibe is great, and the staff were friendly and really knew their cocktails. Our server recommended the White Chocolate Strawberry and Banana Martini, and both were excellent. They tasted refined and well balanced—not overly sweet, just really well made. We also ordered the Thai octopus and the tiger steak. The octopus was tender and packed with flavour, and the steak was cooked perfectly Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Great drinks, great food, great service, and an atmosphere that’s hard to find in the east end. Definitely worth checking out.

A hidden gem that effortlessly elevates the night scene in Leslieville! From the food and drinks to the service and atmosphere, Bar Bokeh is such a treat for an intimate date night or fun night out with friends. The food and drinks seamlessly blend familiar flavours with a uniqueness that you can tell was very carefully curated and beautifully presented. We especially loved the stuffed wings, calamari, and mango sticky rice soft serve. And I can not stop thinking about the ube/lychee and wintermelon Ramos cocktails! The vibes - a stunning design with thoughtful little details that set them apart; service that is friendly and warm, yet professional; and the best playlist that everyone can relate to. You can’t help but feel it’s going to be a special night from the moment you step in through the Matcha Haus!

Of all the speak easy to walk into this was bar far one of the best I've had to experience. Drinks were delicious. Especially the low ABV cocktails on tap! Jasmine Water and calamansi high were amazing. Can drink those all night. Beautiful space and friendly staff made the experience all the more perfect. AND.... They have food! If I knew this we wouldn't have had dinner before coming. We did however have the shrimp toast (YUM), soft serve of the day (mango sticky rice flavor) and banana miso pudding. All were on point! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. Bring your thirst and hunger... You won't be disappointed!
