Dans l'ensemble, Atwater Cocktail Club est perçu comme un bar speakeasy élégant et intime, avec une ambiance feutrée, des banquettes en velours et une décoration soignée, tandis que la musique bien dosée invite à la conversation. Le service est globalement chaleureux et attentif, les cocktails sont créatifs et équilibrés, et certaines signatures ainsi que les présentations séduisent les amateurs de cocktails, avec des options sans alcool et une carte variée. Le rapport qualité prix est jugé raisonnable par beaucoup, même si certains estiment que les tarifs peuvent sembler élevés et que l'endroit peut devenir inconfortable lors des longues files d'attente ou des périodes d'affluence. L'entrée discrète et l'atmosphère intime ajoutent au charme et en font un lieu prisé pour des rendez vous ou des sorties entre amis. Dans l'ensemble, les critiques convergent vers une expérience de haute qualité, des boissons soigneusement élaborées et un cadre qui incite à revenir pour découvrir d'autres créations et prolonger le moment.
Lived up to every hype :) our bartenders Jess, Yann, Damian & David were amazing! Jess might just make you her special key lime cocktail which is to die for! Food, music, ambiance all of it an absolute 10/10! A true Montreal gem
Really enjoyed the vibe here. Our mixologist Jess was awesome. So friendly & talented. Bob at the front door was super nice. Great selection of cocktails. Will return!
Amazing time at ACC. Beautiful setting, relaxed atmosphere, highly creative drink menu & expert service & craftmanship from Gabriel at the bar. The food menu after 6:00 pm is an absolute must-try as well!
Nice people should be appreciated. Came here for the first time tonight- Jayden & Jess were so kind & professional. Absolutely loved watching them make the drinks.
Tony was also such a sweetheart. He even made sure my partner & I had a seat at the bar. So thoughtful.
First things first: finding the place is part of the fun. In proper speakeasy fashion, the entrance is tucked away in an alley, hidden just enough to make you feel like you've stumbled upon a secret society dedicated to excellent cocktails. Cute.
Once inside, the décor is delightfully over the top - dramatic, moody, & unapologetically stylish - exactly what you'd expect from the folks at @groupebarroco. It feels theatrical, like stepping onto the set of a very glamorous late-night scene.
The drink menu is well thought out, with a long list of signature cocktails that clearly lean into the flair & creativity of the bar team. The ones we tried were delicious & undeniably flashy with a bit of drama & make the table next to you curious about what you ordered.
In hindsight, we probably should have asked for a classic martini or something equally simple to truly test the bartenders' skills. But alas, we fell right into the trap they so expertly set: intriguing descriptions, clever ingredients, & a menu designed to lure you toward their signatures. & honestly… we're not really mad about it.
Now, about those'Top Bars in Canada' lists. One can't help but wonder how those actually work. Do they send someone to every bar in the country? Is there a secret panel of extremely well-hydrated judges traveling coast to coast? Or do certain places simply become very good at attracting the right kind of attention?
(We may know the answer to that… but that's a conversation for another time.)
For now, we'll say this: Atwater Cocktail Club delivers on atmosphere, creativity, & a sense of occasion. Whether you're chasing one of Canada's most talked-about cocktail bars or just looking for a fun night out behind a hidden door, it's worth stepping into the alley for.

This was the kind of bar you only see in movies. Andy was a phenomenal host & took his time to get to know us & chat about the area & drinks with us! This was such a beautiful evening & the drinks were SO good & there were plenty of options. The best part about all of it was that they were not that expensive & there were also n.a. Drink options so anyone could enjoy a fancy beverage. The bar is kind of in an alley with graffiti on the door so be on the lookout.
J'y suis allée seule un jeudi soir vers 18 h & j'ai vraiment adoré l'ambiance. Les serveurs étaient super gentils & les barmans très expérimentés. L'endroit a une très belle atmosphère & j'ai vraiment apprécié mon expérience. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !!
Ce restaurant chic est une vraie perle pour les amateurs d'ambiances raffinées. Dès l'entrée, le décor donne le ton : élégant, feutré, parfaitement dosé entre luxe & confort.
Mais le vrai show commence au bar. Les cocktails « smoky » sont tout simplement hypnotisants - présentés sous cloche, enveloppés de fumée parfumée, ils arrivent à table comme de petites oeuvres d'art. L'effet visuel est incroyable… & le goût est encore meilleur. Chaque gorgée est riche, complexe, parfaitement équilibrée.
If Gatsby had a Canadian cousin who knew how to mix a proper drink, this would be his basement.
Tucked away like a secret you're not supposed to tell your in-laws, this prohibition style speakeasy absolutely nails the vibe.
Dim lights ? Check. Cool crowd ? Check.
Music that makes you nod like you understand jazz on a spiritual level ? Double check.
We worked our way through the Purple Rain, the Federal Reserve, & the Honey & Peach, basically a tour of flavor from rock concert to Wall Street to summer picnic. Each cocktail was beautifully balanced, dangerously smooth, & strong enough to make us briefly consider investing in something.
Now… about the ice.
Let's just say the cubes were less
'elegant chill' & more'Arctic expedition.'
By the time we found our way around the glacier in the glass, half the drink had relocated to the North Pole. We came for cocktails, not to reenact Titanic.
That said, the atmosphere & music were so good we almost forgave the icebergs. Almost.
Final verdict: fantastic night, stellar drinks, great vibes, just bring a tiny pickaxe… 😜
Décors & ambiance cosy
Service très agréable
Cocktails travaillés & vraiment bon.
Ca vaut vraiment le prix, qui n'est pas plus cher que les autres endroits !
Belle place, excellents cocktails, bonne musique, belle ambiance, beau monde ... je suggèrerais par contre d'arriver tôt si vous n'aimez pas les line-ups car les places sont très limitées ...
