This is such a cute spot for a cocktail. My friend & I sat at the bar & the bartender Nico was amazing. He was so friendly, answered all of our questions about the menu, & made us feel so welcome.

Je suis venue à deux reprises dernièrement & j'ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience. Aussi bien aux tables qu'au bar, l'accueil & le service ont été parfaits du début à la fin. J'ai eu la chance d'être servie par Atci, qui en plus d'être très professionnel & de bons conseils, m'a fait passé un très bon moment en prenant le soin de m'expliquer les cocktails & d'être toujours présent quand il le fallait. Merci pour ces 2 belles fois, on se revoit vite pour un excellent negroni !

Classy spot! The drinks were strong & they call out the ABV%. Each drink we ordered was increasingly just getting tastier. I wish they had food/small plates that would pair well & balance the drinks.

Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter.

Everything I go to this place, it's always the same thing: forgetting my order or 35 minutes to make gin tonic.
Train your staff better.
Mal nécessaire on st-laurent was 10x better.
Go somewhere else; there's a better bar in the area.

Un excellent endroit où se rassembler avec des amis pour discuter! La musique n'est pas trop forte, mais permet tout de meme d'avoir de bonnes discussions! Les cocktails sont uniques, ce qui plaît beaucoup!

Wowwww what can I say ! The cocktails were phenomenal & very creative. The staff were super friendly & presented the cocktails like it was magic. The experience was really impressive. They also put my group on the guest list of La Voute for the end of the night so they went above & beyond !!

Great vibes & incredible cocktails! The mixologists are on point. Service was also great. Upscale stylish & live DJ spinning great vibes. I went here with the Montreal pub crawl organized by Djiby. This bar is a must do in Montreal!

My cousins said it's a nice place to go. But the girl behind the bar sat around giving dirty looks. The drinks were just okay & the waiter could have been friendlier.
