Amazing nights guaranteed at this bar which used to rocks the Chinatown & now is bigger & better in its new location. The DJs are great, decor settings beautiful, drinks are a work of art of the service personalized & friendly. Special kudos to Yohan who made my visit so great I went back 2 days later with a larger group of friends. My new hangout when I'll be in Montreal !

This was our "home bar" while visiting Montreal. The drinks were fun & delicious, but even better was the service. Our servers (New Brunswick & Hugo) were extremely kind, engaging & made our experience fabulous every night we were there. Check it out yourselves people!!

Let us commence with the important aspect: the cocktails. I sampled 3 drinks, which were satisfactory but ultimately unremarkable. Some are presented in an extravagant manner, such as those served in coconuts; however, fail to elicit a sense of good taste that would compel a return visit. The pricing is rather steep given the quality offered. The garnishes were rather lackluster-I have certainly encountered superior presentations. As for the service, it was adequate but not exceptional; it could be described as merely neutral.

This bar is super underrated & a strong contender for one of the coolest spots in montreal. Very chique & modern but with a classic ambiance. Felt like I stepped into a Mad Men episode. Definitely a spot to return to as the service & their range of cocktails are amazing.
