Ah! La Barraca! A big bar in a small, narrow tavern leading to a beautiful, peaceful terrace. A dynamic staff serving their amazing customers who are thirsty for good times and enjoy savoury tapas, rum, Spanish wines along with local & imported beers.
Barraca Rhumerie Montréal is a rhum-focused bar that draws guests with a wide and well-curated selection of rums, strong and well-made cocktails, and a lovely terrace. Reviews praise friendly, knowledgeable staff and a lively, sociable vibe with frequent events and a welcoming atmosphere for groups and dates alike. Some criticisms mention noise levels, slow service during busy times, and moments of inattentiveness or impatience from staff, including reports of being asked to pay upfront, plus a dessert listed on the menu that was not available and high prices for small portions. Others celebrate the consistent quality of drinks, the attention to detail in cocktails, and good value during happy hour, with tacos and ceviche on the menu noted as tasty though food options can be limited. Taken together, the place comes across as a go-to spot for rum lovers and casual nights out, with a generally positive vibe that can vary with crowds and events.
Went there yesterday evening for a drink & something to eat. Took them about 15 minutes to seat me...Honestly wasn't expecting a 5 star meal but was quite disappointed. The drinks were great. The prices were very reasonable. My nachos came out with the cheese barely melted, some of it still cold, not enough tomatoes for a nachoes dish - not what i expected. The music was so (SOO!!!) loud i couldn't hear a single word from across the (small) table - they were playing a 2020 mashup... :(
We stopped at this bar after supper with no expectations. It was Saturday karaoke! Vibe was awesome. The place gets crowded & no service after midnight, you have to go order at the bar.
On the whole, I thought it was actually quite good. However, what struck me as odd was the inclusion of a dessert option on the menu even though there wasn't actually anything available.
Nous avons passé un superbe début de soirée avec Jonathan! Service impeccable, belle variété de mezcal, tequila en plus des rhums. Les drinks étaient délicieux.
Nous étions quatre & le bar était pourtant désert. Malgré cela, nous avons attendu près de 20 minutes avant que quelqu'un prenne notre commande. Les deux serveuses étaient trop occupées à se filmer pour Snapchat & à danser derrière le bar.
Prise de commande agressive : on nous dit immédiatement que nous devons payer sur-le-champ, sans aucune forme ni politesse. Tout ça pour recevoir une bière tiède & un cocktail à 22 dollars.
Aucune ambiance pour un vendredi soir. Nous sommes repartis rapidement. Je ne recommande pas.
The bartender is very knowledgeable , their rhum variety is amazing & the terrace beautiful! Great selection of rhums from main rhum countries ! Jonathan is a great rhum expert!
It's a great bar but the DJ that was working on October 4, 2025 was being a weirdo & asking women to'ask nicely' in a flirtatious way to change the song
Un petit bar très joli avec une vaste sélection de rhums. Le personnel sera vous conduire vers le meilleur choix! Les cocktails sont préparés avec soin.
Leur petite terrasse cachée est un bijou.
Une adresse à ne pas manquer au coeur du plateau Mont-Royal!

Serveur très agréable & sympathique.
Carte de nourriture avec trop peu de choix, & des ruptures.
Les prix sont assez élevés pour la taille des portions. Dommage :(
