Visited on Valentine's Day around 10PM, place was very busy but was able to get a table for two very quickly.
Supremely cool ambiance, service, & cocktails. Hit a sweet spot of serving inventive, high quality cocktails in an attractive space without feeling stuffy. Favorite place for drinks I visited all weekend.
We had a great time! The vibe is great - good music & friendly service. The cocktails I had were so-so but maybe it was just my drink selection. This is a cozy spot for date night or to have a nice chat with friends.
The decor is fine, but nothing new or exciting. Cocktails are around $20 each, which is expensive. Mine was decent, but not even close to worth the price. The whole place feels like a tourist trap with overpriced, average drinks. Not shocked it was empty when we went.
No idea what kind of cocktail wizardry is happening here, but WOW. I told them what I like in terms of taste & they delivered something way beyond expectations. Not just a drink...an entire flavor journey. 10/10, obsessed.
On our last night in Montreal, my partner & I were looking for a quick drink & discovered a hidden gem in Chinatown.
We had the pleasure of meeting Max & Tommy, two amazing guys with a strong passion for mixology. Max really listened to what we liked in our ideal drink & crafted two amazing cocktails specifically for us. Tommy also made us his own incredible custom shots.
Super cool atmosphere. Service was okay. But drinks were SUPER expensive & really small. They use the massive ice cubes that are popular now, & it takes up the entire volume of the drinks. So a 22 dollar drink has about 2 ounces of cocktail in it & about 95% the rest of the volume is just ice.
Great mai tai, which isn't easy to find in Montreal. Cool vibe although I am probably 20 years too old to hang here regularly. Not to say I was made to feel uncomfortable. The location is perfect & the layout is nice. Can feel a bit claustrophobic if you're not used to low celings & below-ground-level spaces. Offers a solid choice for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail in Chinatown.
Decor is fine but nothing original - feels like they just recycled the look from the old Mal Nécessaire. The waiter told us we had to go on their website to see the menu… call me old school, but just print some menus. Drinks are $20 for a single cocktail, which is absolutely insane. Mine was fine, but definitely not worth that price. Feels like one of those tourist trap spots charging ridiculous prices for average drinks. Not surprised the place was empty when we came. Won't be coming back.
Ambiance de Speakeasy…. J'adore 🥰! Le service est excellent! Assis au Bar c'est toujours la meilleure place pour avoir un excellent service! Les cocktails sont goûteux! Bravo à toute l'équipe! Cheers 🥂
