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.

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!

Toujours une bonne ambiance au Barraca, autant avec des amis qu'en date. J'ai par accident renversé mon cocktail sur le plancher. Le serveur a très gentillement proposé de m'en servir un autre sans frais (si tu te reconnais, merci encore !). Ca fait plusieurs années que j'y fréquentes, & ca ne risque pas de changer:)
I had been there three times in last couple of months with friends & we enjoyed it a lot every single time. The barman who did our cocktails knows what he is doing. The DJ who did the music made it our night very enjoyable. It was the same DJ the last time & this time it was karaoke & we had a blast.
The ambiance is very nice too. Only problem I wish it was a bit bigger place. Other than that, great place. Keep the great job!
Great cocktails! Reasonably priced & made strong! Lively bar with a nice back patio. We only popped in for a cocktail but the food looked great & would definitely go back to try. They seem to have random game nights, as they had a music trivia going on when we stopped in. They have an extensive drink menu with a focus on rum & a good selection of craft cocktails. Would definitely come back for a longer visit & to try some food!
Great place to go for musical quize or a karioke night, super awesome experienced staff & a clean environment, food is limited but a huge of Rum, Tequila & Mescal, anglo friendly but its mostly a french bar.
Un jour, **le Barraca** organisa un concours de danse absurde. Les participants devaient imiter des fruits en train de danser. 🍌🍍 Le premier candidat, **Monsieur Banane**, se lança avec enthousiasme. Il fit des mouvements saccadés, se tordit dans tous les sens & finit par se rouler par terre. Le public applaudit, pensant qu'il avait réussi à capturer l'essence même de la banane dansante. Ensuite, **Madame Ananas** entra en scène. Elle se dandina gracieusement, les bras en l'air, comme si elle était en train de pousser une couronne. Les spectateurs étaient perplexes. Était-ce vraiment un ananas ou une diva en pleine crise existentielle ? Enfin, **Monsieur Pastèque** fit son apparition. Il se mit à tourner sur lui-même, les bras écartés, criant : "Je suis une pastèque en mode centrifugeuse !" Le public éclata de rire. Personne ne savait si c'était la pastèque ou le rhum qui lui faisait tourner la tête. Finalement, le jury déclara **Monsieur Pastèque** vainqueur. Il reçut un trophée en forme de verre à moitié plein, rempli de sangria. Tout le monde trinqua, & la fête continua jusqu'au petit matin. & voilà comment **le Barraca** devint célèbre pour ses danses fruitées & ses cocktails exotiques. Si vous passez par là, n'oubliez pas de saluer **Monsieur Pastèque** en mode centrifugeuse ! 🍉🕺🏼
Ceux qui ont fait jouer la musique semblaient déconnectés du publique, ce n'était aucunement l'ambiance espérée. Je comprends pourquoi le bar n'était pas occupé.
