Atwater Cocktail Club est décrit comme un speakeasy élégant et secret, avec un décor théâtral et glamour et une carte de cocktails inventifs qui impressionnent par les saveurs, la présentation et l'originalité. L'entrée cachée dans une ruelle ajoute à l'ambiance de lieu discret. Le personnel est régulièrement salué pour sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme, même si le service peut être lent et que les files peuvent être longues aux heures d'affluence. L'ambiance, la musique et le cadre sont mis en avant comme des raisons fortes de visiter, et beaucoup le décrivent comme une perle montréalienne et un endroit idéal pour un rendez-vous ou une soirée entre amis. Les prix sont parfois jugés élevés, mais l'expérience globale et le savoir-faire sont jugés à la hauteur. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement offre une atmosphère et de la créativité qui en font une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cocktails.
Having worked in the industry for over 12 years, not only were the cocktails perfectly on par but the staff was friendly, welcoming & completely in their element. A special shout out to Andy who took care of us the whole evening. The bartenders looked like they were enjoying what they were doing & the surprise of having a bouncer be the host also added to the cool factor. Definitely would recommend 11/10
I went to Atwater Cocktail Club last night & honestly… never again. The moment I walked in, there was a strong, unpleasant smell at the bar - almost like aged cheese. Not exactly the vibe.
I always order a martini to test a bartender's skills, & this was hands down the worst martini I've ever had. Weak, no balance, no flavor, just… big. The other drinks weren't any better - nothing unique, nothing craft about them.
To make things worse, the host/bouncer kept passing gas right near the entrance. I wish I was joking. It was genuinely nauseating & made the whole experience even more uncomfortable.
For a place that's supposed to be a speakeasy with great cocktails, this was a huge disappointment. Definitely not worth the hype.
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! ^_^
