Do yourself a favour & GO.
Jackson; with a magician's flair & a poet's soul, crafts rum (& mezcal) based cocktails so transcendent, I'm convinced the man has a direct line to the gods of sugarcane.
Each drink is a symphony: layered, seductive, impossible to replicate, & delivered with the kind of charisma that would make a 1940s movie star jealous.His Mojito? It's not a cocktail-it's a love letter written in mint & lime, sealed with a kiss of sunlight.
The Daiquiri? A frozen ode to elegance, sharp as a tailored suit & smoother than silk in a summer breeze. & don't even get me started on his signature creation-original, yet conjuring the strawberries of one's youth -wildly perfect, I half expected the glass to start glowing.
Jackson works the bar like a conductor commands an orchestra, every gesture purposeful, every pour poetic. He remembers your name, your drink, your dog's birthday-probably even what you were drinking in a past life.
This isn't just bartending. It's theater. It's religion. It's pure, liquid magic. Do yourself a favour & have a seat.
Small space, big on personality & flavor. Jackson is the GOAT & we loved that he was ready to toss the menu to the side & help us select drinks based on a conversation about our preferences. We went to another very highly ranked'no menu' bar in town & found their drink discussion process to be very sanitized compared to Jackson sharing his personal tastes & recommendations & laughing with us-we much preferred this kind of personalized, intimate service! Plus the drinks themselves are great, so it's a win all around!
First time visiting Canada's smallest bar & wow. Jackson served up some amazing cocktails - hospitality at its finest!
Amazing place. Super friendly & great cocktails. We came here back to back night & both Jackson & Tristan were amazing bartenders...check this place out.
My cousins & I came here & had the best time!! It's the smallest bar in Canada with great rum drinks. Jackson the bartender has such a great vibe & made the whole experience!
Jackson is an absolute legend behind the bar.
Fast, funny, & always serving up good vibes (& great drinks)
Very nice place to visit & very friendly staff! I don't usually get cocktails with rum based but Jackson did a REALLY NICE DRINK! :)
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.
Best experience at any old port bar ❤? had a blast & a sweet & sour drink that just 🥰… Jackson was super attentive & gave me the whole experience (including a bit of the bar's history). Definitely coming back soon !
Jackson was beyond the standard of fabulous. This warm & inviting tiny bar serves fabulous rum-based drinks to kick the night off with a bang. Jackson's mannerisms, story telling, & whimsical skill set with the shaker will leave you wanting to come back every weekend. El Pequeno has immersed all guests in creating lasting & personable memories with other bar patrons to last a lifetime. Thank you, Jackson, for creating the most hospital & enchanting environment!
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.
A fantastic cocktail bar with an incredibly well-curated selection of Cuban classics! Jackson is a stellar bartender with skill & personality. This is a bar that stays on the list - a must-visit ☺️❤️
The mojitos were amazing & the Cuban sandwich was as well. Jackson was a great bartender & super friendly too. Definitely stop by here & maybe he'll give you some recommendations on other places to go afterwards. He gave us a ton & we had such an amazing night exploring different parts of the city.
Absolutely wonderful! Had a great time at this cute bar & the bartender Jackson was very helpful & informative, will definitely be back!
Jackson's spirit knowledge & innovation has turned me from a rum hater to a fanatic! I will be returning with haste every trip I take to Montreal.
El Pequeno is a wonderful spot! Jackson is an amazing host & bartender, always making you feel welcome with his friendly vibe. He offers great drink recommendations & is super knowledgeable. With great music & one of the best rum selections in Montreal, it's definitely a place worth visiting!
Such a fun bar!! 10/10 experience, as a tourist this is a must visit. Ask Jackson for a "jaquiri" you will not regret it, but also the mojito is the best I've ever tasted I will absolutely be back
