Very cool bar located near the start of Chinatown. Don’t come here in a rush, the vibe is very relaxed & service is not quick.

Undoubtedly, the premier craft cocktail establishment in town. Bartender Jackson's expertise in timeless classic cocktails & his extraordinary creations left me astounded! Truly a cut above the rest.

Came here because my partner & I thought it was going to be clubby inside (just 2 dumb Americans visiting Montreal don’t mind us) but we were not disappointed at all. The cocktails were so good, the DJ was spinning good tunes, & the staff were very attentive. 10/10 would return
