Thomas made our night at this gem of a speakeasy in Vieux Montreal unforgettable. From the start, he was warm, welcoming & incredibly knowledgeable. After just a few questions, he served up a selection of Mezcals & Tequilas that were unique & perfectly selected.
What truly stood out was his attentiveness & genuine personality & knowlege of his craft.
He elevated the entire experience.
I would go back in a heartbeat specifically because of his service. If you get a seat at his hard to find bar, you're in for something special & unforgettable.

Great little hidden cocktail bar. We came across this spot & decided to stop in for a drink. We sat up at the bar & Shelby was our bartender, he was extremely knowledgeable & friendly. He gave us the idea to do a tequila tasting which we opted for. Shelby put together a tasting flight with different citruses, salts & even crickets that go well with the tequilas. We had an amazing experience & will for sure return when we are back in Montreal.

A beautifully hidden gem!
I was excited to try this speakeasy bar, & it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was unique & intimate, making it a perfect spot for a special night out.
The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable & offered thoughtful recommendations. While I don't have much experience with tequila or mezcal, I genuinely enjoyed trying their curated selections-it was a great introduction to both. I'd definitely come back!
