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.
