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

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

Un très beau speakeasy pas trop achalandé en debut de soirée. Les drinks sont bons & le plateau apéro nous a bien plu ! Notre serveuse a été de très bon conseil. L'ambiance tamisée & bougies.... j'adore ! Vraiment un bel endroit.
Le seul regret c'est qu'on a eu 2 groupes très bruillants & donc pas très agréable de participer à leur conversation même à 3 tables d'écart. Mais ce n'est pas vraiment la faute du bar.View more

Grab a seat at the bar, enjoy the drinks & have a fun ride. Nice easy going staff & a bartender who can make really delicious martinis/ drinks. Very much enjoyed my experience here.View more

Very private, well hidden cocktail bar. It's all lightened with candles which gives it a perfect romantical ambiance for date evenings. It is a pleasant experience pushing people to actually talk & get to know better each other. I like their labyrinth table configuration. Good service, prices a bit high for popular cocktails, but your engagement will be remarkable.View more

One of my favorite bars in the world. Great atmosphere, ideal for date nights. The drinks are fantastic & the owner/staff are friendly. Don't expect a party, but it's the perfect bar for conversations. Not cheap but well worth it.View more

Great speakeasy. Love the bar design & staff was quick to notice when you might want to order another round. Drinks were well balanced.View more

Great atmosphere. Good cocktails. & you can't go wrong with some Japanese whisky, of which there are several to choose. Entrance is the black door just next to Patati Patata & then down the hallway to the room with lots of candles & a serpentine bar. Clever use of a mirrored wall increases the effect of the candles. Clever use of magnets allow them to hang Japanese whiskey bottles that patrons reserve over the bar. Magnets also allow placement of the gas powered candles at different places on the bar. Great design. Friendly service.View more

I was looking for a bar where I can actually talk to the person next to me without having to scream over loud music or others. This place kept coming up so I decided to give it a shot. It was quite pleasant to be able to have a conversation over a drink. The drinks were also quite good, I had a rum sour & I quite enjoyed it, it was original. The others also liked their drinks (there isn't really much food, just a few things to nibble on & dumplings). I would say that the chairs are not very comfortable. The whole place is like one giant bar where you sit around on stools with no backs & they pull out & can spin in different directions. However, it's not really the most comfortable way to talk to the people next to you, notably if you are more than two or stay for more than an hour. The hooks under the table for your personal items was nice. The service was also very good. & once again another bar that removes the 15% tip option & tries to force a higher tip, probably the main reason why I don't go back to bars & restaurants as I really hate this practice.View more

We thought it was the ramen, beer & wings place that it used to be. It was an accident finding this speakeasy bar. But it was the best experience ever.View more

Really nice inside - maybe waited like 10 mins to be seated. (Came around 11:30pm). It took a while to get our order in but the espresso martini saved it. The seating was interesting - if you weren't at the bar, you were seated at an odd section & the seats were a little too far apart, so it was hard to have a conversation.View more

Great hidden bar on Saint-Laurent. I have been here on a couple of occasions, & have always been served well. The drink menu fits a wide array of tastes; whether you like cocktails, or a nice glass of scotch, they'll have you covered. I will definitely be coming back to this establishment again in the future.View more

Bar très joli, ambiance général très agréable (lumières tamisées etc) mais juste la musique un peu forte, pour un bar à cocktails style classe moyen bof. Le service était moyen aussi, possiblement que la personne était nouvelle aussi ce qui serait compréhensible. Mais si c'est pas le cas c'est pas fou, longtemps à être servi, puis service assez froid. Pareil pour un bar a des verres à 20$ c'est dommage. Les cocktails sont super bons cependant à, rien a dire, bravo au chef(fe) des cocktails, continuez comme çaView more
