We only went for a few drinks before going out for dinner but what a great experience at the bar with the bartender, he was wonderful & engaging at explaining the various cocktails. We enjoyed the conversation about drinks & spirits. I would definitely go back at a time when it's not to busy to enjoy that time again. I highly recommend to anyone looking for imaginative cocktails both avec & sans alcohol.

Very swanky cocktail bar with a book of a menu. Five star drinks, service, & atmosphere. Our waitress (long, dark hair with tatts) was amazing - very friendly, knowledgeable, & welcoming. Highly recommend the coco supremo drink.

Truly an incredible experience where the unobtrusive service staff were there to help 💯. *An important point to make is that the music was lush, with rhythms curated & cued up by Silver Fvks. This was part of a monthly residency so keep an eye out for that DJ duo. After realizing that all my senses were going to be spoiled I got comfortable in a minimalist yet classy booth & went with a bold choice for my first beverage --- a "Big Fun in Little China". When you're searching for an interesting & unique place to spend most of your night, or maybe the weather isn't inspiring much confidence, you can seek shelter at this refreshing cocktail lounge.

Finding this place took a minute, but the effort was so worth it. We were seated at the bar & thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails while watching the seriously AMAZING experts behind the bar make these original blends. The DJ was fantastic. Montreal has an incredible club scene... don't miss one of the very best!
