Commande en ligne très décevante. Les aliments n'étaient pas frais & la qualité laissait vraiment à désirer. Nous avons reçu des plats froids & peu appétissants. Très mauvaise expérience.

Plus d'une heure d'attente pour finalement recevoir un plateau dans un état déplorable. La présentation était négligée & absolument pas à la hauteur de ce qui est annoncé. J'avais des invités & cette commande m'a mis dans une situation très embarrassante. Très déçu(e) de cette expérience, je ne recommanderai pas ce restaurant.

We're from out of town & visited this bar on a whim, & I'm so glad we did. Shout out to our server Tyler who brought great energy & vibes! My boyfriend is a big whiskey drinker & he put together some amazing flights for him to try, & also took the time to explain the flavour profiles & answer our questions. They can customize your drinks & flight if you let them know your palette & preferences. We splurged but you can tell them your budget & they can give you recommendations based on that.

This place is great for non whiskey drinkers too! They've got some really cool cocktails & delicious food, like the cheese board & bootlegger poutine. The jazz band was really the icing on the cake. We had such a great time & recommend it to anyone looking for a cocktail bar or place to unwind for a drink after a hot summer day walking around the streets of Montreal!

Nourriture correct ; c'est de la bouffe de bar. Les drinks également correct mais sans plus.
Le serveur complètement à l'Ouest, il a fallu pratiquement aller le chercher pour avoir notre facture. C'était pas un décor incroyable, ça fait la job comme endroit mais je ne le recommande pas spécialement.
