Un bar absolument charmant, avec des plats succulents

Came here with a few friends to have a drink. When I came at 930pm it was packed which is understandable. However, it's not reasonable for the staff to take 7 minutes to understand you are standing there at the door waiting to ask for table time. We ended up being put at the bar which was fine. Ordered a few beers & realized what I was given I've seen at the SAQ sold for $3 a can & sold for 10$ at the bar.

Beautifully decorated bar & good vibes. Drinks were good but the Mac & Cheese was very mediocre. It was more like macaroni with melted cheese on top but no actual Mac&Cheese sauce... October 2024 edit: Mac & cheese with pulled pork was excellent! Creamy & cheesy! Amazing vibes as per usual.

Incroyable! L'ambiance est tamisée, parfaite pour un rendez vous amoureux ou une rencontre discrète avec un partenaire de crime. La nourriture est à tomber par terre surtout le poulet au beurre & le macaroni au fromage. Finalement, c'est aussi le bar avec un des meilleurs espresso martini. Délicieux & généreux.

Cute bar - my friends & I were able to play cards. The happy hour for simple cocktail mixes (2 for 1) ends at 7pm!

Tucked away in a typical plateau neighborhood is one of my favourite bars in Montreal. The selection of beer is great & the food has gotten a lot better recently, but sometimes the service can be neglectful.

Hands down my favourite bar in the plateau. I haven't eaten much of their food but what I've had has been delicious! I love the vibe in here. I will always suggest this bar. It's my plan A & my plan B. It can get pretty busy towards the weekend, but if you're willing to wait a few you can usually get a table. The staff here are very good with that.
