Review Summary

Barrelmans is a destination for real cocktails and tapas, with cocktails crafted by an attentive team in a stylish upstairs bar that invites a relaxed yet lively vibe. The drinks are praised for their complexity, balance, and careful preparation, and it is worth securing a seat at the bar to watch each drink come together. The vibe feels warm and European, with a solid playlist, friendly service, and attractive decor that contribute to an easygoing experience. The venue draws a popular crowd and offers a solid beer selection on tap, while oysters and other dishes show potential with room for freshness improvements. It is not located in the Old Port but in Old Montreal, and Barrelmans invites guests to return to explore more of the food and drink menu.

Hidden spot in Mtl Old Port & quite small, so expect a wait on weekends. Great cocktails, stylish vibe, & solid service. A bit pricey, but worth it. Would go back.

Wow 🤩 Love the style of the upstairs bar. The bartenders are extremely talented, you can tell that they put a lot of care & attention into making each drink. The cocktails are complex & divine. Highly recommend getting a seat at the bar so you can see how they make each drink. Julien suggested a cocktail out of my comfort zone & it didn't disappoint 👌

A nice spot but don't be confused by its website. This bar is NOT in the Old Port (which is the federal land a few blocks south). This is in Old Montreal.

We already had dinner so came here for drinks. What a popular spot & very European feel. Nice selection of beers on tap. We had oysters & they weren't as fresh as they should be. Their'bowls' seem popular with the locals. Would definitely come back to try their food selection.
