Overall, El Pequeño Bar is viewed as a standout spot in Montreal and a must visit for lovers of rum and well made cocktails, with many remarks about returning to enjoy the vibe as much as the drinks.
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.

Tristan was an amazing bartender! He is a great conversationalist & gave us great recommendations for drinks & a talented mixologist. I would recommend this place! He helped create a really cozy & fun environment.
We didn't eat, just some incredible cocktails! Fun bartender - very well done cocktails. So on trend. Nice to find a spot in Old Montréal that isn't touristy.

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!
The Cubano slaps & is a cost effective solution to wanting to drink more but not having eaten. Also good rum selection for the city, the bartender (Tristan) was very friendly, & he made a hell of an off-list jungle bird.
Deuxième soirée que l'on passe chez Tristan. L'atmosphère est unique, conviviale & chaleureuse. Les créations de Tristan sont meilleures les unes que les autres. Il nous reçoit avec un sourire & une énergie incomparable. Nous avons hâte de revenir!

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
