Fun Christmas bar with epic food has popped up at @Leopold’s Tavern 🎄 The place is decked out 🎅 and they’re known for their massive menu items and next-level comfort food. 📌 Laura’s recommendation: If you’re hungry go for the Roast Beast burger, hand pressed chuck patty, shaved roast beef, herbed cream cheese, waffle fries in an onion crusted bun, and ask for curly fries as your side! Comes with gravy and the best chipotle mayo. $23.50 I also loved the Cranberry Crunch fried chicken sandwich, tastes like Christmas dinner but way better! $23.50 Definitely go for the Cousin Eddie cocktail - the ultimate holiday drink! 🎄 $13, booze-free $8 Chill party vibes that you’ll love at Leo’s! 1619, West Broadway, Vancouver #vancouver #christmas #vancouverfood #christmasevent #vancouverbc #vancouverchristmas #leopolds #seeyouatleos
