Drinks drinks drinks! Book a reservation to avoid disappointment they take crowds of 2 to 20. Nice little spot to enjoy the evening! Near old port!

Amazing cocktails, & friendly & knowledgeable staff. We were there relatively early in the evening & it was a great atmosphere & perfect for conversation. I imagine later at night when the place gets crowded & the music goes up it's more lively but less intimate

The entrance is very nondescript. You would miss it if you weren't looking for this place specifically.

L'ambiance est sur la coche. Les serveurs m'ont très bien accueilli & je me suis senti à ma place malgré que je me suis tenté à la découverte en solo de ce bar!

A must-visit destination for all Montreal tourists! Great ambiance, phenomenol service & great drinks. It starts at the door. Very humble bouncers, & once you are seated, great hostesses charm you with the offerings. Ours was able to do a good read of rum vs. whisky. & then we had a couple more rounds. Everyone is welcome (three single guys In my case), but this is an amazing place to bring a date. The DJ is spectacular, too! Awesome transitions. Thank you for a great night. Would love to visit again!!
