The focus on rum shines through highly customizable cocktails and a warm, attentive service that many describe as knowledgeable and genuinely caring, turning each visit into a memorable experience. Overall, the vibe, drinks, and hospitality make this Montreal spot a must visit for rum lovers and curious drinkers alike, with conversations, recommendations, and a sense of community that linger long after the night ends.
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!
So nice we had to visit twice the same night!! The smallest bar in Montreal made a big impression- our bartender Jackson didn't miss once suggesting unbelievable rum cocktails, a must visit for anyone in old montreal or someone who thinks they don't like rum.

Small bar, big fun!! 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!

Jackson is the best! He can make you any drink even if you don't know what you want! This is a must stop, as it is the smallest bar in Canada! Great place to end of start the night!
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
Tristan the bartender is AMAZING!!! It's an extremely small bar but such a unique & extraordinary bar. He was amazing. My fiance & I had so much fun. We were sharing music of Afrbobeats & Spanish music with him. We gave him recommendations & he gave us song recommendations as well as where to go for the best bars. The drinks were incredible. My partner & I had about 7-9 drinks & it was very worth it. Thank you Tristan for everything!
