Small bar, big fun!! This tiny bar has the best rum selection on the island of montreal, amazing cocktails, impeccable service, & staff that genuinely loves every inch of this tiny space. This is a bar where everyone talks & becomes friends due to the small space. This is my favourite bar on planet earth.

Came here on the Super Bowl day & we were the only guests in the bar. Jackson was an amazing source of knowledge about Montreal & rums in general. Made friends with the fellow guests & had an amazing time!

Jackson is the best! He can make you any drink even if you don't know what you want! This is a must stop, as it is the smallest bar in Canada! Great place to end of start the night!

Love this place! Jackson makes a great Mojito. Best Mojitos I've had outside of Miami. Classic rum bar. Jackson will customize your drink (ie passionfruit mojito instead of a regular mojito) if you ask him

Tristan the bartender is AMAZING!!! It's an extremely small bar but such a unique & extraordinary bar. He was amazing. My fiance & I had so much fun. We were sharing music of Afrbobeats & Spanish music with him. We gave him recommendations & he gave us song recommendations as well as where to go for the best bars. The drinks were incredible. My partner & I had about 7-9 drinks & it was very worth it. Thank you Tristan for everything!

With one of the largest collections of rums in the city, this friendly neighborhood Cuban style bar is the perfect island escape in Old Montreal! Everything from the service (shoutout Jackson & Tristan, you're in great hands with either!!), to the cocktails & cubanos is memorable. Their new menu with the baseball cards is one of the coolest I have ever seen, definitely worth a stop if you're in town!
