The Leopard Lounge Bar

Our famous Leopard Lounge is one of the area’s most popular night spots. The sultry interiors include black lacquer walls, leather-lined banquettes and a striking leopard-print carpet, as well as a beautiful ceiling hand-painted by celebrated local mural artist Lino Mario.


Our talented mixologist team prepare classic cocktails and delicious signature “Leopard” martinis, as live music plays all night long. Pull up a seat at the marble-topped bar under the punkah fans and watch as the Leopard Lounge Bar comes alive. Join locals and guests in enjoying a cocktail before dinner, or simply indulge in some of our excellent cognacs, grappas, whiskeys, rums, and bourbons.


With live music every day, drink and dance the night away in the intoxicating atmosphere of Palm Beach’s premier nightspot.
