We didn't eat, just some incredible cocktails! Fun bartender - very well done cocktails. So on trend. Nice to find a spot in Old Montréal that isn't touristy.

A very tiny bar, with one sitting table in the middle. I would say max 8 people can go in, & I assume in the summer more with the terrace. The service was amiable. We had two cocktails one margarita & one specialty cocktail of the season. Both were beautifully presented & both were delicious,

A tiny bar located right next to The Coldroom & across from Bar Bisou Bisou, El Pequeño bar stands out from its sister bars. Like it's name, its very small, seats less than 10 people & little standing room. But rather than detracting, it adds to the intimacy of the bar & a close knit vibe. The cocktails are all Cuban twists on rum based classics like the daiquiri & Pina Colada. I thoroughly enjoyed the drinks!

Great small rum bar, somewhat connected to the Cold Room. Cozy, intimate atmosphere. Best rum selection we've seen in Montreal. Great rum cocktails, & the bartender can also improvise off-menu. We had amazing chats with him about different rums & he's super knowledgeable.

The mixologist’s creative & delicious cocktails steal the spotlight. The intimate, cozy setting adds to the charm, creating good vibes all around.

We all really enjoyed it!
