Review Summary

Gokudo is widely regarded as a hidden gem offering an intimate, cozy atmosphere that is perfect for date nights or relaxing with friends. Guests frequently praise the expertly crafted cocktails and the high quality of the Japanese-inspired menu, noting that the staff is generally welcoming, professional, and efficient. While the venue is celebrated for its unique ambiance, low lighting, and refined experience, visitors should be aware that the space is popular, which can lead to wait times, and it operates as a cashless establishment.

Really cozy vibe & the music is not too loud or overstimulating so you can actually have a conversation. Great service too, the server was always there right when we needed her! The food & drinks were tasty & came very quickly

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.

Speakeasy japonais au cœur du centre ville de Montréal. Un lieu tamisé & sombre avec une ambiance musicale qui colle parfaitement au lieu. Un grand merci à Yann & Jordan pour leur accueil, je recommande vivement
