This tiny bar has the best rum selection on the island of montreal, amazing cocktails, impeccable service, & staff that genuinely loves every inch of this tiny space. This is a bar where everyone talks & becomes friends due to the small space. This is my favourite bar on planet earth.
Came here on the Super Bowl day & we were the only guests in the bar. Jackson was an amazing source of knowledge about Montreal & rums in general. Made friends with the fellow guests & had an amazing time!
Love this place! Jackson makes a great Mojito. Best Mojitos I've had outside of Miami. Classic rum bar. Jackson will customize your drink (ie passionfruit mojito instead of a regular mojito) if you ask him
Delicious rum cocktails & such hospitable service. A can't miss for cozy, welcoming vibes. Great mocktails, too.
With one of the largest collections of rums in the city, this friendly neighborhood Cuban style bar is the perfect island escape in Old Montreal! Everything from the service (shoutout Jackson & Tristan, you're in great hands with either!!), to the cocktails & cubanos is memorable. Their new menu with the baseball cards is one of the coolest I have ever seen, definitely worth a stop if you're in town!
such a quirky place. imagine a rum bar in the cold. warms you up for sure! try the snowbird
Jackson the bartender is an absolute legend. Tell him what flavors or notes you're looking for in a cocktail, & he will whip up something customized to your liking (with rum as the primary spirit of course, as this is a rum bar). There's no standard menu as such. The cocktails were strong & dangerously delicious - you couldn't tell how much booze is in each drink because they taste so good. Jackson is a lot of fun to talk to, & he clearly has a lot of passion for mixology. Come for the tasty custom cocktails, but stay for the conversation & vibe. Note that it's a small & intimate space, so don't expect too much privacy.
Fantastic rum selection & a great vibe, but the real highlight was the bartender, Jackson. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, & clearly passionate about what he does. His recommendations were spot-on & the cocktails were perfectly balanced. Jackson made the experience memorable. We'll definitely be back! 🍹🥃
What an awesome spot! The bartender was fantastic, & I was delighted to try some stellar cocktails & new kinds of rum here! I will be visiting again next time I'm in town for sure!
Absolutely epic cozy welcoming atmosphere with mind bending rum based cocktails. Smallest bar in Canada with biggest spirit.
Phenomenal service & the drinks were outstanding. The staff is very knowledgeable & can build a rum drink on the fly with input on your favorite cocktails.
I had a take on a'Last Word' as well as a'F Me Up Nick' which is a limit 1 b/c it is so boozy.
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.
Smallest bar in Canada with the greatest vibes, service, & rum drinks by one of the liveliest bartenders! Argh mates!
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!
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.
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!
If you like rum this is an excellent spot for you. Knowledge staff great cocktails & although small it's a very nice space.
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.
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.
