Delicious rum cocktails & such hospitable service. A can't miss for cozy, welcoming vibes. Great mocktails, too.

Great little cozy bar:) Bartender was super friendly & eager to please his customers with great cocktails. The hot buttered yum is great. I was craving the coconut whipped cream for days after!

Absolutely epic cozy welcoming atmosphere with mind bending rum based cocktails. Smallest bar in Canada with biggest spirit.

Wandering around the streets of Montreal we stumbled upon this little gem. Jackson invited in & told us all about the place. We aren't (or weren't) rum drinkers. Jackson asked us what we usually drink & he fixed two amazing cocktails.
He was a great host we wound up coming back the next three nights in a row. Meeting new visitors each night. A fun & cozy must stop for anyone that enjoys a good cocktail & fun conversations.

Tristan was an amazing bartender! He is a great conversationalist & gave us great recommendations for drinks & a talented mixologist. I would recommend this place! He helped create a really cozy & fun environment.

First time in Montreal & I cannot recommend going anywhere else for a cozy, intimate & great atmosphere. Wil & Milee contributed to this. They both took care of us, & were delightfully inviting, attentive & friendly. Their hospitality alone makes us want to come back & spend the entire night at the bar. These two truly were the great environment that El Pequeno offers.

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.
