Hands down, one of the most refined speakeasies in Montreal. This beautiful modern bar with a unique layout that could possibly sit up to 50 people is tucked behind a long hallway. Our server Sophie was very friendly & when I couldn't figure out what type of drink I should get, she made it her mission to brainstorm with the bartender to curate the perfect drink for me.View more

A nice speakeasy bar. Not a place to enjoy good though, yet if you feel like having a drink in an cool environment, it's a good place to hit.View more

Do NOT piss directly into the ice in the urinal, it WILL splash back. Instead piss above it. Drinks were 10/10.View more

Such a great experience! 10/10 would recommend. Such a cute date spot too.
Some things to note: the door is somewhat hidden/unmarked as it is more of a speakeasy. The chairs kinda swivel weirdly & is slightly uncomfortable if youre not at a table & at the long counter. But there is a hook for your purse. Also note that if you go on a nice night &/or late, the line will be long...
The drink menu was not as extensive but I liked the ones I got. Kinda pricey but the music in the background & the whole place was so aesthetic so ur kinda paying for the vibes on top of the drink too which wasnt that bad. & also not as pricey as nyc drinks.
Would recommend to try & also go to the bars along the street too!View more

Service was a bit slow as they only had one barman when we got there. It wasnt too busy but we waited a while for the drinks. Leo was awesome, he made me a custom drink based on what I like. He did a great job, attentive customer care from him.View more

Tucked away behind an unmarked door, Big in Japan is an easy-to-miss speakeasy with a relaxed yet upscale vibe. The dim lighting, candlelit tables, & smooth jazz create a cozy atmosphere perfect for a low-key night out.
Service is attentive, the drinks are well-crafted, & the setting feels exclusive without being pretentious. If you're looking for a hidden gem with quality cocktails, Big in Japan is worth a visit.View more
