Nice place, with good ambience. Food is okay. A bit expensive for what it is. Good beer variety. & a large wine list too. Amazing service. Verdict: give it a try.

Came here on a sunday around 7:30 pm for drinks. We were immediately seated, which was nice considering the last time I left because of the huge line. It should be noted that the service was amazing. I forgot to get the name of the waitress, but she took real good care of us especially when choosing the wine. The calamari & focaccia were pretty tasty to pair with the drinks. The atmosphere was perfect. This is for sure one of the best terrasses in montreal!

A friend & I had the most wonderful evening at Bar Bara last night. We popped in unexpectedly for one drink & stayed for appys & a full dinner just because it felt so nice to be there. This was 100% due to one server who from he very first Hi was absolutely charming, knowledgeable & just so kind! Jacob described the menu with genuine excitement , had us trying new wines, & chatted with us in a way that was reminiscent of a small town catch up. A joy. The food is always top notch but as a business owner myself service is key & they've hired a gem. Bar Bara give Jacob a raise. Everyone else go enjoy an evening & stay awhile :)
