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.
Perfect atmosphere to enjoy great cocktails with friends or your partner.
On my holiday in Montreal, I enjoyed the place, its music selection that's in between rnb & classic hip hop, complimentary cocktail on arrival (which compensate the long outside queues).
Elevated cocktail bar with a smooth speakeasy vibe. Everything we had was well balanced & exceptional. Sebastian & team were wonderful hosts. They definitely earned their Top 50 marks!
Last night in Montreal, found a gem. Soon as I walked in it reminded me of spots in nyc & found myself indulging great drinks made by'Jess'. Worth a visit & embrace the atmosphere while enjoying well balanced drinks that are carefully crafted. At 2am I was happy I found this spot & met great people.
A pleasant place to spend time with friends. Excellent service. The first time I visited was in winter; we had to wait in line a bit, but it was worth it

Amazing selection of drinks & also handed a free drink to try at the door which was honestly better than the other ones we ordered. We were let in after maybe a 10 minute wait, however, there was not actually a table ready for us to sit at. We ordered standing up & received our drinks standing up. Only after 20 minutes were we able to sit down.
Super cool speakeasy, loved the steak frites. My wife enjoyed the salad & shrimp cocktail as well. Espresso Martini & Pina Colada were super fun, service was great at the bar, & the interior was beautiful.
Montreals speakeasy game is top Notch & Atwater's Cocktail club ranks high on this scale! The vibes are vibing & the cocktails were so carefully crafted, tasted incredible & were presented beautifully! My friend & I had an incredible time!

Such a great spot! The staff were friendly & welcoming-offering us a welcome drink while we waited to be seated, which really elevated the experience. The vibe was amazing, with great music at just the right volume so you could still have a conversation. The drinks were top-tier, especially La Récolte, recommended by our waiter-honestly one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Can't wait to come back!
