Didn't eat. In town alone for a few nights, sat at the bar & had a few drinks at the bar. Asked the bartender for recommendations & couldn't have been nicer or had better ideas. Drinks were great, & it was really fun to watch them get made. Very fun showmanship.

An absolute gem in the heart of Montreal. We were greeted by a very warm & welcoming staff & Tyler was our bartender. Tyler could not have been more kind & helpful. The drinks he made were amazing & each was better than the previous. He was extremely easy to talk with & even gave us many recommendations for other bars & restaurants in Montreal. We had an amazing time & the live jazz was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this amazing place.

Everything was incredible! The off-menu drinks that the bartenders whipped together to meet our group's different liquor/flavor preferences were impressive. Shoutout to Remus for immaculate vibes!
