Coming from Miami, we felt right at home. Whether the daytime or nighttime the bartenders/service is ELITE! Shoutout to Sarah, Stacy, & Erika for showing us a great time!
We really enjoyed this cocktail bar. Everything from the decor to vibe completely exceeded our expectations. You felt like in a local bar & at home. The alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks were 10/10. Their food menu was a big surprise - delicious & generous serving! We would recommend the burrata & their charcuterie board. We will definitely be back!
Très bons espresso martini! Avant 19h il avait un 2 pour 1! 😊 Seule chose, c'est assez petit comme endroit. Parfait pour une petite date tranquille entre amies ou autre.
We had the most delicious Espresso Martinis in this hidden gem in Pointe Saint Charles. The decor was great, cocktails were amazing & the vibe was classy, elegant, chic. Now that winter is coming to an end, we'll definitely go back to celebrate the arrival of spring! Hope they still have seasonal specials, as they had a cute spooky Espresso Martini for Halloween :)

From the moment we walked in, Sara made our night absolutely unforgettable. Her service was truly exceptional: warm, attentive, & effortlessly professional. She has that rare ability to make every guest feel like a VIP. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the menu (her martini recommendations were perfection), but she's also such a gem of a person, hospitable, charming, & genuinely adorable in the best way.
Sara's energy elevated the entire experience. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask & made sure every detail was flawless. It's clear she cares deeply about what she does, & it shows in every interaction.
Five stars aren't enough! we'll definitely be back, & we'll be asking for Sara every time! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely the best bar I've been to in Montreal - a truly Espresso Martini ☕? 🍸 specialist, including multiple unique variations. Try the Quebecois 👌🏽
They've a great 2-for-1 deal during 5-7 pm too! Couldn't recommend this place enough
Unfortunately, I don't live in Montreal but I think of the drinks here often … ☁?
A gorgeous bar in pointe Saint Charles opened about a year ago. It is gem! They specialize in espresso martini. The vibe of the place is very pleasant. We had wonderful experience with Stacey! She is super knowledgeable, amiable & so sweet! We started with a shot of espresso because we fell in love with their beautiful espresso machine imported from Italy. It was a flavorful espresso! Thumbs up! Then we took the advantage of 2 for 1 espresso martini! It was a omg moment! It was smooth with end taste of sweetness. Personally, it was the best espresso martini I ever had. I can't wait to come back again.
Excellent small cocktail bar on rue centre.
Call in & see Kelly with the legs for a great drink & all the energy for a great night out.
Really friendly staff & good vibe.
Stacy is also very accommodating for all patrons & makes everyone feel welcome.
