Reviews describe Atwater Cocktail Club as a hidden speakeasy with a chic yet intimate vibe, velvet seating, and moody lighting that makes it a great spot for dates or nights with friends. Cocktails are the main draw, praised for balance, creativity, and presentation, with favorites like La Récolte, Smoke Show, Pink Panther and Mad Whale noted for quality. The staff are consistently described as friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere and smooth service, though the space is small and queues or seating waits are common during peak hours. The music and ambiance are generally well balanced, adding to the energy, though a few reviews mention moments of loudness or variable experiences. Some comments point to occasional inconsistency or a strong odor in one visit and a few bites or snacks being uneven, but many highlight the reliable excellence of the cocktails and the immersive vibe. Overall, Atwater Cocktail Club is seen as a top Montreal cocktail bar for inventive drinks and hospitality, inviting return visits despite potential crowds.
I loved this place! I chose this as the first bar to go to on my 18th birthday, when I travelled from northern Ontario to Montréal back in May. I was told Happy Birthday at the door haha
Our server was really nice, & gave me & my friend I was with a yummy free shot because It was my birthday & conversed with us, He was really nice! They made a really good Singapore sling. They were sadly out of Escargot when I went! :-( But thats ok, because the oysters were amazing & so were the drinks. I did not have the beef tartare, but my friend did & liked it. Awesome & I cannot wait to go back! ^_^

I could write a love letter to this place. Damian is a gem. The cocktail list is long & intriguing. All of my drinks were on point & excellent. The food from the restaurant next door was a weak spot but I really wasn't here for food anyway. Great innovative cocktails is what I came for & what I received. Will return.
J'adore cette endroit! J'y suis allée il y'a quelques mois & j'ai adoré l'atmosphère qui fait très speakeasy, parfait pour un date ou pour venir avec des amis! Les cocktails sont super bons & la nourriture délicieuse. Nous avons pris des escargots qui étaient savoureux 😍
A great cocktail bar, well worth the line-up in the event there is one. You have to try La Récolte cocktail, best drink I've ever had - so good that it's listed in the menu twice!
Belle sélection de cocktails signature. Serveurs connaisseurs en alcool fin & en accord de saveurs. Plats styles tapas très savoureux. Ambiance feutrée, musique plus présente en fin de soirée. Clientèle plutôt jeune, mais quand même variée.

We are so glad we were able to spend our anniversary at this speakeasy. The service is great & the drinks are crafted so wonderfully! Definitely recommend coming to this bar if you are visiting in Montréal. We will be back for sure! Smoke Show was the blackberry drink, my fav 😍
The service here was amazing & everyone was kind. The cocktails here were remarkable. La récolte is such a good drink & a must try. Pink panther was also good & reminded me of a raspberry chocolate cake.
We didn't receive our drinks for a while after ordering but they checked in on us & found a mistake was made. They quickly corrected it & offered us drinks on the house. Shout out to Marie for being such a wonderful server
I am visiting from Toronto & will certainly be coming back to try more cocktails. This might be one of the best bars in MTL
