Boni’s is inspired by Jess’ great-grandfather, Bonifacio (“Boni”), who immigrated from Spain to Argentina before settling in New Jersey, and Todd’s grandfather, Leon, who owned bars in Louisiana. Set in a 1934 bungalow lovingly reimagined by Todd, Boni’s brings together original details, vintage finds, and family keepsakes to create a warm, welcoming spot where history, hospitality, and good company come naturally.

In early 2026, Lenoir owners Jess Maher and Todd Duplechan opened Boni’s, a neighborhood bar in Bouldin Creek serving Spanish-style cocktails and tapas. With records, great playlists, and Sunday evening live music, it’s a welcoming local hangout and the perfect stop before dinner at Lenoir or for a nightcap afterward.
