Leo Restaurant and Bar
Philadelphia
At a glance
Leo Restaurant and Bar brings a global approach to dining with Mediterranean influence to the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. The restaurant and bar is designed around the performing arts calendar, making it a natural choice for dinner before a performance, drinks after a show, or an evening connected to one of the venue’s special programs.
The food offering spans several formats. An à la carte menu provides the main restaurant experience, while a dedicated pre-theatre menu is intended for guests working around show times. Bar favorites are available throughout the restaurant, and separate menus cover drinks, desserts, and happy hour. The overall style is flexible, allowing Leo to work as a destination for a full meal or as a place to stop for a drink and a smaller bite.
Its setting inside the Kimmel Center gives the restaurant a clear connection to Philadelphia’s cultural scene. The atmosphere suits theatre-goers, concert attendees, and visitors looking to pair dinner with an evening performance, while the bar provides a more casual option for drinks before or after the show. The restaurant also opens for selected Monday dinner services connected with the Philadelphia Speakers Series.
Happy hour takes place at the bar and bar tables from Wednesday through Friday in the late afternoon and early evening. A separate post-theatre happy hour runs for one hour after a show ends, extending the venue’s role beyond the performance itself. Drinks and the bar menu are available through the evening, making Leo suitable for a relaxed stop after a performance as well as a scheduled dinner beforehand.
Leo also offers a setting for private events. With its combination of restaurant dining, a full bar, pre-theatre options, and performing arts access, it fits occasions that call for a meal before a show, a post-show gathering, or an event connected to the Kimmel Center. Reservations are available for the restaurant, and the venue’s published menus include à la carte, pre-theatre, bar, dessert, drinks, and happy hour selections.
