We visited quite a few bars in the three days we stayed in Montreal & the drinks in this bar were our favorite.
We sat at the bar & ordered cocktails that were not on the menu. We just told the bartender our preferences & he made 4 fantastic, delicious, well balanced cocktails. We were also lucky we went there on a Monday night & it wasn't too busy so the bartender had time to do it. I'm sure this bar gets busy on weekends considering how good their cocktails are & they have DJs.
The bartenders were very friendly & knowledgeable about the city & the drinks.
We highly recommend this place for anyone who likes good drinks & a great atmosphere !
Overall missing professionalism from staff workers. Service was very slow, had to ask for my bill twice because all the staff does is speak with themselves, & take hours speaking with other costumers. Waited around 25 minutes for our signature drinks, which were not good. Decor is very nice, but the service & drinks is very bad.
The experience they offered was spotless. The bartender knew his spirits, asked the right questions & served us with a smile. He let us taste a non alcoholic amaretto which was amazing as I don't drink & offered to make me a virgin amaretto sour which was spectacular. He catered to each of my friends tastes & they were all left with a drink they loved. The cocktail menu was well seasoned & varied while offering a creative approach to classics & their own fun creations. They were all balanced in flavors hitting the mouth well rounded as you sip. Water was served immediately after sitting at the bar & when you enter the place a friendly host/waitress guided us to our seats & offered arrangements for our group. All with a smile. Later we met the two brother who own the place that were gracious, humble & cultured. They had the capacity to make everyone they spoke to important, which made the experience have a cherry on top. When the bill was presented the prices were fairly priced. The vibe was spot on everyone was vibing to the dj who was playing tasteful house, we even danced a little. The bathrooms & floor was clean & there was a security man at the door guaranteeing guests their security. Overall a fantastic experience & definitely a go to bar for dates, friend hangs or even going solo. I have no doubt this bar will climb to be a hot spot of the night life in Montreal rapidly. Bravo 👏
Lovely little cocktail bar, was a quiet Thursday which is to my liking. Service was excellent, we even got reco's for the rest of our trip! Might even make a trip back to try another cocktail or two!
Great spot replacing the old Mal Necessaire location.
Don't expect the same vibe or set up though, the bar is in the middle of the room & is surrounded by high tops & a lounge area. The DJs are chill & the music isn't thumping hard enough that you can't have a conversation.
The staff is great & we've always had great service from Wil & Christina, who always seem to have time for a chat no matter how busy it looks.
Special mention to the cubbies under the benches at the lounge tables, creating tons more space at the table in the winter by eliminating hooks & jackets everywhere.
We came as tourists on a Saturday night. The staff was INCREDIBLY friendly & energetic. Our host helped us find a seat where the music wasn't as loud, & the bartenders were great as well. There was live music as well, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Overall this place is a bit pricey, but we had an amazing experience, & it's WELL WORTH a visit.
