Great place to have a great time celebrating a birthday in complete privacy... the only downside was that it was really cold inside! Thanks Adam for your service ☺?

Petit arrêt suite au Festival de Jazz; dès notre arrivée, le staff était souriant avec une atmosphère décontractée. Notre serveur Oli avait un sourire contagieux & nous a très bien conseillé. Le service était à la hauteur du début jusqu'à la fin. Cela nous a permis de conclure une belle soirée festive à Montréal. Merci beaucoup Oli!

Large enough place with plenty of comfortable couches & live music spinning. The menu had great cocktail variety, & it's designed like a zine with information about drinks & drink history in it. The atmosphere is on the darker side & it took a little time to get the drinks, but all the ones my table ordered were immaculate tasting.

Exceptionally well-done cocktail bar. Probably the most creative cocktail menu I've ever seen, resemblant of a passport to travel their world of flavours. This place puts a lot of energy & focus into it's creative drinks - which it should as a cocktail bar. Service was alright. Atmosphere is really cool. Expect to wait for a seat at peak times.

New location, 2025 Review:

Leaving a second review here as they have moved to a new location & have adapted the experience to the space, as well as changed the cocktail menu. Most notable change is their brilliant seating system that almost eliminates the lineup. They have a'lobby bar' that you wait at while waiting for seating in the main hall. This lobby bar serves simple mixed drinks at lower prices instead of the full cocktail menu. We weren't there for too long before our table was ready. The atmosphere at the new location has been tuned a bit more upscale, abandoning the more colourful, travel theme for a more refined nightlife experience. A few items on the cocktail menu have not changed but much of it has, & I have to admit I don't love the new additions as much as a few of the drinks that they removed. It's not an upgrade for me personally. Service was still as exceptional as my first experience however.
