This is indeed the smallest bar in Canada. The vibe is super chill & as the bartender would say'it is like having a drink at your house'. A very cozy place, so small that you finish having friendly interactions with the people around, I would say it's a nice place to meet new people & mostly Spanish speakers.

The smallest bar in Canada specializing in rum-based cocktails - & easily one of the coziest. It may be tiny, but it's warm, lively, & full of charm. Even if you're not a rum drinker, don't worry: Jackson will convert you after just one (& probably a few more) of his incredible creations. It's the kind of place you fall in love with for its intimacy, its magical service, & its unforgettable cocktails. You'll always have 3 reasons to come back: Jackson's charm, the amazing cocktails & the fun atmosphere.

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!

Its hard not to have a great experience here. Naturally as Canada's smallest bar the atmosphere will be more intimate but the hospitality & drinks is what sets it apart. Can't recommend it enough. It's natural charm far surpasses it's novelty.

We were shown fanastic hospitality in this very quaint bar in the old port. The mixologist (Jackson) behind the bar was incredibly knowledgeable & created the best cocktails ive ever had. (try his spin on the mai tai). while it might be the smallest bar in canada, Jackson created the best memories on our night out, & we will be anxiously waiting to return & sit at his bar the next time we can.

Incredible experience, Jackson created an unmatched environment that is both friendly & sophisticated. The hurricane & watermelon mojito both staples in rum based cocktails, were made stupendously! A surprising addition to the smallest bar in Canada is the warm & crispy cubano. A real must in Montreal.

We went in to warm up on a cold February night & for being such a small bar (the smallest in all Canada!), the atmosphere was impeccable. The lighting, the music & the drinks were 😍😍😍. We had the old cubano for drinks. WOW! Well done el pequeno!!
