Commodore /New Commodore Cafe (134 – 21st Street East
and 108 Second Avenue North)

Owners (Commodore /New Commodore): John Giokas and N. Nantsos (1926-1929), Harry Terzakis and Nick Lappas (1929–1932), Steve Leakos and subsequently Spero Leakos (1932 – 1972), Nikitas (Nick) Kokonas and Alex Liakopoulos (1972-1980), and several subsequent owners.
The Commodore Cafe operated in two locations – on Twenty-first Street East until 1947 and then on Second Avenue North. In 1956, the cafe at the Second Avenue location added a banquet room known as the Corvette Room.

Mr. Steve Leakos’ three children – Evangeline, Spero, and James – formed the Leakos Trio and performed frequently at the Commodore Cafe. They won first prize in 1940 at an amateur night sponsored by the Saskatoon Lodge of the International Order of Foresters (1.0.0.F).
Nikitas Kokonas and Alex Liakopoulos purchased the Commodore Cafe in 1972. In 1980, they sold their interest in this business and entered into partnership with Bill Kondos and George Kondos in the Granada House Restaurant.
