We decided to make a dream real.
For years we were mesmerized by a nine hundred square foot cinderblock building tucked behind a giant tree on Haywood Road. It felt like it had stories in it. We just needed to listen. After two years of peeling it back to the bones and building it back up, we gave it new life honoring its quirks and letting the light pour in.
Leo’s is an intimate neighborhood wine bar and restaurant from Drew Wallace, founder of The Admiral and The Bull and Beggar. Alongside Chef Austin Inselmann, we built something intentional but unfussy. The menu is thoughtful, seasonal, and meant to move with your evening whether that is a glass and a few bites in the sun or a long, lingering dinner with friends
The wines we select are made with integrity by farmers and producers who care deeply about place, story, and expression. We think of ourselves as a supernatural wine bar, grounded in craftsmanship and guided by curiosity.
Leo’s is meant to be your cozy neighborhood spot, whether you are stopping in for a glass, a snack, a bottle to take home, or a leisurely dinner among friends. We hope it feels like a place you can settle into, time and time again.
