Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. We came in on Tuesday afternoon for lunch on the recommendation of a friend, & we were not disappointed. We ordered the butter chicken & the shrimp tacos & 2 pints of blonde beer. We've been living in Montreal for 3 years & wish we had discovered this place sooner. The male bartender was absolutely AMAZING, best service we've had in Montreal. We will be back very soon!

Came in after a couple two many beers at a poetry night nearby with my wife. The waiter that welcomed us was super nice as well as the one that took our order. love y'all. unfortunately the food didn't meet our post bar graillance. On est rentré avec de la earth shattering graillance & le burger (double mini burger) n'a pas satisfait ma faim & expectations mais le goût étais tout du moin impeccable. Par exemple, l'ambiance étais vraiment incroyable. Ça parait qu'on est sur le plateau #woke. Overall tout fesait une expérience exquise & service 10/10. Place recommandée pour rallumer la flamme ou éviter un divorce.

C'est quoi ce vacarme ? Nous sommes entrés, nous nous sommes assis, & nous avons dû repartir aussitôt tellement le bruit était insupportable. Je pouvais à peine entendre mon ami assis juste à côté de moi, c'était assourdissant, & je n'exagère pas. Pour les personnes malentendantes, sensibles au bruit, autistes ou ayant d'autres besoins sensoriels, ce genre d'environnement n'est pas seulement désagréable, il est excluant. Un lieu qui ne fait aucun effort pour tenir compte des différents besoins sensoriels n'est pas véritablement accessible.

What's up with the noise? We went in, sat down, & had to immediately leave because it was unbearably loud. I could barely hear my friend sitting right next to me. It was deafening, & I'm not exaggerating. For people who are hard of hearing, sensitive to noise, autistic, or have other sensory needs, this kind of environment isn't just unpleasant, it's exclusionary. A space that doesn't make an effort to accommodate different sensory needs is not truly accessible.
