I'm confused. This was a wholly mediocre experience. We waited in line for maybe 20 minutes - friday night around 7pm. Honestly no big deal. Its really easy to find, yes, it is a non-descript door in a building, but as soon as you walk in you see the awards they got on the side of the door. So not that "speakeasy" esq. They take you down a long hallway which opens up into the 25 seater bar. The way it works is you tell them things you like & they make a drink based off that. That being said - it is all riffs off of classic drinks. They maybe talked to us for 10 seconds. I remember saying, I like mezcal, spirit forward drinks & the guy responds with so you like negronis & I was like yes, & before I could say more he started talking to my wife. Yes, I like negronis, but if you're going to do a no menu bar, you need to do more interesting things than a very normal riff on a classic drink. Also, he proceeded to make me a tequila drink instead of mezcal. The one nice thing they did was a have a "welcome" cocktail in a shooter form, I assume it is a rotating cocktail, but it was nice & cinnamon-y. What I will say is that this "gimmick" of a no menu bar is a lot cooler when the drinks are interesting. All around us, people were getting just simple riffs off classic drinks.

Le concept est simple tu entres dans un endroit privilégié ou tu peux allier discrétion & passion. Le serveur te propose un coktail à ta ressemblance & avec tes compositions. Les photos parleront d'elles mêmes. Je recommande

This is a go to spot for Old fashioned's. I love how they start you off with a mixer that's brewed in house & the bartenders are always on point with the recommendations

Very much enjoyed the experience here. The menu-less experience is a particular plus for me, & the bartenders deliver. Lots of complex flavors well balanced against each other.

I can see why this bar is ranked as one of the best in North America. From the semi-hidden door, to the little touches such as the playing cards used for coat check, it's a truly unique experience. The atmosphere is incredible & the staff are so attentive- & while the drinks are pricey, the customization & flavour makes them worth the price. We came a half hour after they opened & were seated immediately, but the small space was filled the entire time they were there, & the bartender told us how on busy nights there can be 30+ minute waits to get in. Highly recommend going early!

What a unique experience. From the time you are allowed entry until you retrieve your items at the cost check upon departure it is just top notch. The staff, ambiance, & incredibly thoughtful libations all make for a 10/10 outing.

In a word fantastic. If you are in Montréal you gotta visit this place. We are from Calgary & this place was recommended by Shelter Bar. Drinks excellent, Service excellent. Definitely a place to visit if you are in Montréal.
