My girlfriend & I found this bar on a whim & it was everything we were looking for! The atmosphere, drinks, & company were amazing! Our bartender, Jackson, was probably coolest person I've met & could talk your ear off about rum! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a fun yet relaxing time!

Alright so here is the deal: I walked into this bar thinking'I don't really like rum' because of one bad night with the captain in college & walked out with a new appreciation for the many varied & complex flavors & types of rum. All credit goes to Jackson whose knowledge & love for the spirit shines through in the complex, balanced & just honestly delicious drinks he crafts. Cannot recommend this spot highly enough! It is a must visit!

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.

Jackson does some type of witchcraft with spirits. I am solemnly a tequila bae, & i've been coming again & again. 10/10 mixologist, would recommend.

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.
