What can I say? The'Smallest Bar' in Canada had the biggest impact on my stay in Montreal! Popped in because the line to Cold Room was a bit long & we never left. The bartender Jackson was a HUGE personality for such a small space. Amazing presence behind the bar. Excellent product knowledge & a true skill in the cocktail game. We loved it so much on our first night, we closed the place the next night! MUST HIT IN MONTREAL!

Amazing night! Tristan creates an incredibly welcoming environment. Drinks are excellent, great conversation, & an amazing ambiance. Did you know it is the smallest bar in the whole of Canada??Definitely worth visiting, especially on a Wednesday night to get a very personalized experience. Très bon! 🧉

Accidentally stumbled upon this speakeasy on a rainy cold day in Montreal & it was a delight. Amazing service & cocktails, coming from someone who doesn't usually opt for liquor(especially not rum). Trust your bartender, they are artists!

This is indeed the smallest bar in Canada. The vibe is super chill & as the bartender would say'it is like having a drink at your house'. A very cozy place, so small that you finish having friendly interactions with the people around, I would say it's a nice place to meet new people & mostly Spanish speakers.

Best bar in Montreal. I'm not a rum guy at all, but Jackson is a wizard & knows how to make you a drink that you'll love! Give it a chance!

We had a blast. The little'crowd' was very friendly & happy. The mix-ologist was all-into his concoctions - & we had several. He did refuse to serve me straight rum - instead he whipped up something special to satisfy my curiosity - & it worked well!
We did not eat anything...
