Leo’s: Juhu’s New Concept Bar

In the lively heart of Juhu, a new concept-driven destination has arrived, blending the worlds of travel, storytelling, and culinary exploration. Leo’s, the latest venture by Prasuk Jain Hospitality, reimagines what a neighborhood bar can be. Inspired by the imagined journeys of a globe-trotting character named Leo, the venue offers guests more than just drinks and dining—it delivers an immersive experience crafted around narrative, design, and flavor.

Leo’s sets the tone the moment one steps in. Vintage Moroccan tiles, exposed brick walls, and a patio lush with greenery create an atmosphere that feels both curated and casually chic. The setting moves fluidly between energetic social spaces and relaxed corners, soundtracked by a playlist of disco, retro funk, and soul. It’s a space designed for discovery, where every visit feels a little different from the last.

At the heart of Leo’s is its cocktail program, a carefully curated collection of drinks that mirror the spirit of its muse. Signature creations such as Cereal Killer—a whimsical blend of chocos-infused milk and spirits—play alongside The OG Picante, a bold, spice-laced concoction with serious kick. Aam-nesia introduces an unexpected twist by combining mango purée with a beer foam crown, while Red Flag, featuring grape soju, caters to those who lean towards crisp and fruity notes. Each cocktail comes woven into the venue’s overarching story, encouraging guests to sip, savor, and imagine Leo’s adventures unfolding.

The food menu echoes the same global sensibility. Small plates pull inspiration from across continents, offering a playful yet thoughtful approach. Highlights include a vegan take on Choripan, Argentina’s beloved sandwich, and Charred Soya Chaap Skewers served with a vibrant, herbaceous aji verde from Peru. The Tofu and Tuna Tataki brings a touch of Japanese minimalism, while house-made pastas like Asparagus and Berry Ravioli in sage butter sauce reveal a love for fresh, inventive flavors. Traditional Indian snack lovers will find comfort in the Chakhna Board, a well-composed ode to classic bar munchies. For a sweet finale, Leo’s Buttery French Toast arrives as a rich, nostalgic nod to comfort food at its finest.

Adding another layer to the venue’s eclectic identity is a wall dedicated to retro memorabilia—think vintage film stills, vinyl records, and pop culture artifacts. Guests are even invited to take selected pieces home, blurring the lines between hospitality and personal storytelling.

Behind Leo’s are Prasuk Jain and Priyanka Jain, known for imaginative ventures such as The Game Palacio and Snow World. “With Leo’s, the idea was to create a space that feels as layered and spontaneous as the city itself,” shared Prasuk Jain. “It’s an extension of our belief that hospitality should be about world-class experiences rooted in imagination.” Priyanka Jain added, “Leo’s captures Juhu’s soul—easygoing yet electric, nostalgic yet fresh. With its global plates, curated cocktails, and an evolving calendar of artists and events, it’s about building a real sense of community.”

Leo’s positions itself not just as another addition to Mumbai’s vibrant food and drink scene, but as a destination where narrative drives every detail. For diners and drinkers seeking a concept-rich, culturally charged experience, this new Juhu address promises a journey as memorable as the imagined travels of Leo himself.
