Biggest speakeasy I've been to. Super nice inside & the music isn't too loud

A necessary stop for the cocktail inclined when visiting Montreal. Dim, vibrant, humming, & hip, this intimate spot attracts varied generations with a taste for lovingly crafted spirits touched with flare & fire - literally, if you tackle the pineapple slushy fuego that comes out like a sparkler. With good company, expect delicate sips mixed with stories & laughs. The kind of place where the drinks match the toast. Priced as such.

I went there twice, & let me tell you, I won't be coming back.

It took more than 45 minutes just to get our drinks.

When they finally arrived, the cocktails were filled with ice. Mine & my friend's were both finished after about five sips, which was very disappointing considering they cost $22 each & we had already waited so long.

The hostess was also quite rude & didn't seem concerned about the customers waiting. At one point she was on her phone instead of attending to people.

5.0

the drinks were delicious, vibes were great on a rainy night, music was good & our bartender niko was excellent. the queueing system was really odd though, they escorted us to a back room bar where you can order a drink while waiting for an actual table. back room bar menu & main bar menu is different. we waited for around 30 min on a sat night before getting a table.

We were really pleased with the atmosphere & service, but the coctails & food were just OK. It wasn`t the most delicious experience, but I believe that I will give them the second chance!)

Great place, great ambiance, great people, but a little bit costly & noisy, that's it ! Highly recommend overall

A bit overrated. Cocktails were good but not exceptional. Wasn't really worth the 30 minute wait.

Attended on Sat Feb 14th. Did not eat. Fabulous, unique cocktails (strong water was the most smooth & balanced drink that we have ever tasted!) Amaretto sour was perfection! We had such great service. We ordered a cocktail that was new to us which neither of us enjoyed. Our server noticed, without us mentioning it to her, & replaced it with another drink of our choice at no cost. That is exceptional service! Did not enjoy the DJ's choice of music that night… was totally 1970's disco music for the entire 2 hours that we were there
