Whiskers Pub

There’s a reason why there’s no wait for dinner at Leon’s (which is why we went).

We went (family of 6) around 8:30 for dinner and we had to ask the server to come help us, half of our order was wrong, and we were one of two tables in the place. When the food came, we didn’t even have utensils. This is definitely an establishment focused on the bar customers (there were not many of those either) and not a place for a dinner (even cheap eats) on vacation with the family. We love queer friendly establishments at home (in a major metropolitan area) as the service and vibe is usually amazing!! Not sure if they didn’t want to serve us as it was late and we had kids, or this is standard there. Definitely didn’t feel welcome. Don’t waste your time or money, wait in line somewhere else.

Stopped in for appetizers. Skewered shrimp and Old Bay wings were good. We were the only people in there on a Sunday afternoon so it was quiet.

We are so excited Leon’s is here!! It’s more than just an amazing queer-friendly space in OC. The food is good, the service is wonderful (our server, Justin, was knowledgeable, attentive, and just genuinely friendly!), and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. We would feel equally comfortable bringing our kiddo here (shout out for the kids menu!) as we would coming for a date night and sitting at the bar to make new friends. The happy hour specials (especially the wings!) can’t be beat. We can’t wait to come back!
