The bar is awesome looking & has a cool concept, the drinks & food was really good, however the staff was so rude & unprofessional. Our waitor (I believe he is a french guy), did not even bother to come see us a second time to see if we wanted another drink or anything else, we had to flag him down, & even when we did he was extremely cold. Sad such staff work in hospitality.View more

Gokudo used to be my favourite cocktail bar, by far. However, some time a few years ago, the staff & management changed. The menu changed, with iconic & incredibly well-balanced cocktails being removed while less interesting drinks were added. Despite, from what I can tell, the addition of more staff, the service has become worse. Honestly, it's all a big disappointment that has me missing the old Gokudo & the old bar staff that worked there.View more

Un Izakaya caché & authentique, comme au Japon, avec d'excellents whiskys & des cocktails abordables. Le service au bar était impeccable. Le menu aurait pu être plus varié avec de meilleures portions.View more

Fun place! Drinks & food were good. The layout of the bar is a little odd, we were very close to the entrance & separate from the main area.View more

Quality is not what it used to be. Very expensive, the bar added items to my bills without us ordering it. The seats are broken down & the place had a bad smell. I used to love the place.View more

we were super intrigued by the asian flair of the drink menu at gokudo & were excited to visit. we arrived around 7 pm on a friday & waited a short time for a seat. we were eventually seated in the front room, which was comfortable & relaxing. we tried the okame & yamakase (which may not be on the menu anymore). both drinks were yummy & had a great mix of flavors. the food menu also looked intriguing but since we had dinner just before, we didn't get a chance to try anything. prices are super reasonable compared to the bars in nyc. overall a fun place to visit!View more

Very nice spot for dates & more of a chill vibes. Jordan at the bar was amazing, knew his drinks & alcohol. He was able to make us discover new alcohol & remixed a drink according to our taste buds. Would recommend to sit at the bar & be served by him.View more

This bar is fantastic! I always have a great time here. The staff is not only friendly but also efficient & accommodating. The drinks are top-notch, & we even sampled the wagyu bite. While it was small, it was absolutely delicious-a great touch to offer such a luxurious option. The ambiance is both stylish & fun, creating the perfect setting for a night out. Definitely one of my fav spots in Montreal!View more

This is a dark & sultry Japanese bar. It's perfect for a date or tryst. The cocktail menu is interesting & there's a good selection of sakes & sojus. A bar menu has a few mediocre bites. Service is cute but forgetful. Most people will love Gokudo because it seems like a hidden discovery.View more

I really enjoyed the experience I had at this bar. The service was polite & friendly, the interior decoration was remarkable & quite lovely, the drinks were fantastic & not too expensive. At least for the prices they charge, it was decent. My favourite thing about this bar is probably the fact that we had plenty of space at our table & around our table. It felt really spacious for once & we could really enjoy our drinks & talking to each other. The noise level was also just right, the music playing wasn't too loud or too quiet. The main downside however is probably that there is a longer wait time compared to a lot of other places. This comes back to the generous amount of space they give to each customer so there are less seats in consequence. But, I do feel like the wait time was worth it because I had an amazing time inside the bar.View more

Came with my bf to celebrate our anniversary! They sat us at the booth but we were extremely close to other people, so they moved us to the bar where we met Jordan. He's from Paris & there was a language barrier bc his English wasn't so good & our French was ..well Gr 9 French lol! Regardless he was so kind & made us really good cocktails, gave us free shots & made our night! He curated cocktails for us based on what we liked, so if you're up for the experience - definitely let him be creative :) we didn't get food bc we came from dinner so I can't really comment on that part!View more

I had a great time at this Japanese restaurant & bar. The ambiance & the vibe were really nice & relaxing. The music was not too loud & suited the mood. The food was delicious & authentic. I especially enjoyed the Sake & the Maki. The service was awesome & attentive. The staff were friendly & helpful. They made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine & drinks.View more

2023: the Bunshin was fantastic, the Gempei was really good, both well crafted. I enjoyed the unagi Maki as well. Pleasant efficient service. Wish they had a little more selection foodwise. 2018: Excellent service. Creative drinks. Nice decor. Definitely deserves its ranking among Canada's top bars.View more

Super cool cocktail bar! It has a japanese vibe with some japanese inspired snacks that we didn't try. We just had cocktails. But they were amazing!!! Sooo tasty, prepared with care, slightly surprising, good quantity, not stingy on the alcohol. 5 star service from the barman as well!
