Flyjin is frequently described as a moody, high energy venue with a signature red lit underground space and a strong fusion menu that includes fresh oysters, sushi, and creative cocktails. The overall experience is praised for great atmosphere, solid food quality, and attentive service, making it a popular spot for dinners that turn into lively nights out. A few reviews note practical downsides such as entry delays, expensive drinks, long lines on busy nights, and occasional staff missteps at the door or coat check, as well as some cocktails or mocktails not meeting expectations. For celebrations and group outings, Flyjin is seen as a standout choice, a place that can feel like a main character moment with music, ambiance, and a vibrant crowd.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe Sarah B. Bar d'Absinthe as a cool, intimate spot with a great bar, solid food, friendly service and pleasant decor with a light jazz backdrop. Cocktails such as The Côte d'Azur, Sarah la Divine and Phocéen are praised, while the gin Stratton is not recommended for an unbalanced profile. An issue in the men's washroom with lotion but no soap was quickly addressed after being signaled, a rare misstep at a high end venue. The atmosphere is classy with outstanding drinks and attentive, knowledgeable staff; absinthe is introduced in a clear and enjoyable way, the burger is described as outstanding, and the place is regarded as a hidden gem worth recommending.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe The Coldroom as a standout hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal with a discreet entrance and a cozy cellar like vibe. The cocktail program is the star here, famous for creative, well balanced drinks and a wide whiskey selection, with many guests praising knowledgeable, friendly service; waits can be longer on weekends, and the small food menu is secondary to the drinks. Overall, it is seen as a must visit for cocktail lovers, offering a unique atmosphere, strong vibe, and memorable, high quality cocktails at a price that some consider steep but fair for the experience.View restaurant profile
