Review Summary

Bar Big In Japan is described as a dark, moody, intimate hideaway with candlelit tables and bottles hanging from the ceiling, a vibe many reviews call ideal for dates and quiet conversations. The drinks are frequently praised for balance, creativity, and quality ingredients, with favorites like Fleur de Sureau and the Tokyo Mule highlighted, though a few cocktails can be overly sweet or lack the expected kick. The venue is mostly a drinks destination rather than a food stop, and while some patrons enjoy snack plates or dumplings, the emphasis remains on the cocktails and atmosphere. Service is generally described as attentive and professional, but a few reports mention unfriendly exchanges with the host or variability in knowledge. Peak periods can bring longer waits and a warmer interior, sometimes due to HVAC issues, but the space still earns praise for its intimate setting and refined program. Prices are sometimes high, though many feel the experience justifies it given the vibe, the quality of drinks, and the overall experience.

My favourite bar in mtl, not cheap but for good reason, drinks are great & the atmosphere is unmatched.

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 ça
