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... :(
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.

Great spot on Mont Royal! Drinks were strong & tasty, I've had their food before & it's well-priced for generous portions. Been in the summer & winter, great terrasse space in the summer! Cozy in the winter. They have lots of events during the week as well which is nice.
This place is small but with great location! The drinks & the food are okay, nothing special, but the service & ambiance, specially for Karaoke night is amazing!!
The drinks are AMAZING. They have a massive selection of rums & their pina colada was awesome. The food was really good. I had the cubano & my friend had the fish tacos which were both great. The churros were good too, but the chocolate rum sauce made them great. The server was great; really nice & had good recommendations. I'll come back here any time I'm in Montreal.

The only reason I'm giving any points here is thanks to one waiter from India💐, who was sincerely attentive & very pleasant. The other staff seemed worried about everything except the client's convenience & impression. We were asked to leave the interior terrace because they decided to close it, as it's apparently " the rule" not allowed to be used 🫣. One server even followed clients outside to tell them it wasn't allowed to smoke while having their drinks with them 🕵️👮🥷 in the middle of the night of course it is "the rule"! The music was pretty nice, we liked it, hits from different times & the prices were reasonable, but if it weren't for the exceptional service of the Indian waiter, the score would be much lower. He's truly the one making this place accommodating🙏. The received response sounds more like a no, sorry, rather than a candid comment. So, do you mean that your staff is "hunting" anyone who is drinking something from their glass in front of your entrance (outside your premises) to adhere to provincial law? Is that still within your jurisdiction? Because, in fact, the customers were reproached while they were outside your terrace & premises. On the other hand, a group of people standing right in front of the entrance was drinking beer from bottles freely. This is confusing. Please clarify.Thank you.
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!
It is a nice place for all those party-lovers who like to drink, dance & enjoy. I couldn't find anything to eat but I didn't look at the menu either😅...just went to see the clubbing vibes of Montreal, & I found it good. Prices are also viable, & we participated in a music trivia which was quite fun

I love the food, the service, & the drinks. It gets very loud, & it's difficult to have a conversation because of that, though. Other than that, it's a very good place to go for drinks!
We came for $1 tacos but unfortunately even though it was on their website it wasn't an actual promotion that exists. We compromised & they offered I buy one get one free plate of taco but to be honest, the tacos were so-so. We had a drink & then moved on. But the terrase environment was quite nice on a nice day.
