Barrelmans comes across as a popular spot in Old Montreal rather than the Old Port, with pretty decor and a European vibe. Three cocktails were excellent, the playlist was good, and service was friendly and efficient, making for a relaxed visit after dinner. The space attracts locals and offers a nice selection of beers on tap, and the bowls seem to be a local favorite. Oysters did not feel as fresh as they should be, but there is interest in returning to try more of the food selection.View restaurant profile
