Bar Big In Japan offre une ambiance intime et une décoration sombre qui séduisent pour les rendez-vous et les sorties entre amis, avec une entrée discrète et une atmosphère speakeasy propice aux conversations; les cocktails sont variés et le plus souvent bien exécutés, certains coups de cœur cités comme la Fleur de Sureau ou le Tokyo Mule, mais d'autres boissons peuvent sembler décevantes par rapport au prix ou à l'attente; le service est globalement professionnel et attentif, bien que l'attitude du personnel puisse paraître distante et que des soirs plus pleins ou plus calmes influencent l'expérience; la politique de paiement anticipé a été jugée intrusive par certains, ce qui a pu perturber l'atmosphère, pourtant l'endroit demeure apprécié pour son design, ses éclairages tamisés et son ambiance raffinée qui donne envie de revenir; le niveau sonore reste parfois élevé, mais la plupart des visiteurs soulignent le cadre comme idéal pour discuter et profiter d'un cadre singulier et élégant.
Beautiful bar, but being asked to pay in advance was unexpected & disrupted the vibe for me & others around me. We likely would have ordered more drinks if this wasn't the case. Paying upfront or having cards held felt intrusive & is quite uncommon. It's a shame, as the space is nice & the staff seemed a bit on edge, possibly due to management.

Fleur de Sureau is drink I ordered here the waiter suggested it, & since it was my first time, I really appreciated the recommendation.
The place has such great vibes & is clearly more of a drinks-focused spot rather than a food destination. We didn't order any food & only got some chips to snack on with our drinks. This is definitely a place to come for the atmosphere & the drinks. I'd love to come back again & try more drinks next time.
This speakeasy has some great selection of cocktails. The staff is helpful if you are not sure on what to get, they will offer recommendation to help you find the cocktail you'll enjoy! The ambience of the place was definitely a vibe & the most interesting part is that they have bottles hanging from the ceiling! you need to visit the place to find out what they're doing with it :)
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!
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.
Vibe is great but our drink, Tokyo Mule, was all sugar & server would not return. Ended buying whisker sour, which was quite good, but had to pay for both despite not consuming the mule despite being clear before orders that I didn't like too sweet drinks.. my entire group felt the Mules were excessively sweet.
This place is seriously a hidden gem! If we hadn't watched a video of someone going inside, as definitely wouldn't have known where to go & just missed it. But this place is a perfect date night vibe. We had such fantastic drinks, I was in total awe of the place the entire time we were there. Honestly didn't want to leave. I got a Momo Max & my husband was very jealous of it haha. He got some a Tokyo Mule & it went down very easy. If you have time to check this place out, you must stop in. It's 100% worth it.

Another beautiful speakeasy in Montreal, if you know you know. It is classy when you reach the insides & is beautifully designed. Great place to come for a date as it is very vibey & intimate. Drinks were alright! Overall worth the visit.
