A charming Latin cocktail bar in Brooklyn, Leyenda manages to create an exotic South American vibe, with brick walls, a pressed tin ceiling, and church pew booths, without looking kitschy and overboard. Dark and cozy, it is a perfect spot for a hot date or a bunch with friends who appreciate good quality tequila, rum, mescal, raicilla, or sotol, in addition to legendary cocktails. Chef Sue Torres offers imaginative small plates such as watermelon and cucumber gazpacho with Maine crab and tajin and a whole range of interesting tacos. Leyenda has a nice little outdoor sitting area for warm evenings. Bring the family for their excellent traditional brunch.
