Review Summary

Bar Kabinet presents a stylish, intimate vibe with warm lighting and thoughtful design that draws you in, but the space can feel cramped and the small tables can undermine comfort. The bar is the strength, offering creative, well balanced cocktails and a solid wine list, while the food tends to be underwhelming for the price with bites that are serviceable rather than memorable, though some dishes such as duck and certain tartares earn praise for flavor and execution. Service is consistently described as friendly, welcoming and attentive, contributing to a positive overall mood, and the venue is repeatedly recommended for drinks before or after dinner or a girls night out, with some noting improvements under new management. Overall the experience blends a craft cocktail scene and attractive decor with variable food value, making it feel more like a destination for drinks and ambiance than a standout culinary spot.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Café Club Social comes across as a warm, communal cafe in Montreal, with a cozy interior, a lively vibe, and a big terrace that makes it a go to spot for working, meeting friends, or simply lingering over a good espresso. The coffee is frequently praised as rich and well balanced, with cappuccino singled out as especially excellent, and the menu features well made sandwiches and tasty treats that complement the atmosphere. The place is described as welcoming and authentic, evoking Italian coffee culture and feeling like a neighborhood staple for daily rituals. While the experience is often positive, service can vary from quick and friendly to slow or a bit overwhelmed during busy periods, and crowds at peak times are noted by some. Overall, Café Club Social is seen as a reliable, comforting venue for good coffee, pleasant company, and a sense of community.View restaurant profile

Mile-End, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Bar

Review Summary

At The Emerald, guests entered by chance and felt misled about pricing, as classic cocktails were not shown on the menu given by the bartenders. It was late and the place was empty. The cocktails were very good, but the pricing left a bitter aftertaste. They were charged before tax and gratuity for the cocktails. At first there was surprise, but the reaction shifted to thinking the fault lay with not checking prices or the venue beforehand. A month later a friend mentioned that the cocktails were actually quite inexpensive. This story remains a memorable anecdote and the overall takeaway is that they would not return.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Le Fat Cat Bar Billard is described as a cozy, lively spot where the pool tables and the space for play draw crowds and the music helps set a fun vibe; the overall service is repeatedly praised as friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is noted as welcoming and sociable with a strong bar scene. On the downside, pool rental and cocktails are frequently tagged as pricey, and beer options are described as mediocre and mostly mainstream, with some reviewers hoping for microbrew choices. The kitchen is not always open, which can affect plans to dine, and there are mentions that the experience can feel expensive for a night of pool. There are some negative mentions about a staff member's attitude and a distinct odor in the room, but many reviews emphasize the top pool table surface, the safety and friendliness of the staff, and the overall appeal as a go-to place to hang out, drink well, and enjoy a game.View restaurant profile
