C'est très mignon & grand étonnamment ! Le personnel est hyper gentil !!

Seule hic : la bouffe est quand même chère pour ce que c'est. C'est vraiment pas adapté à un budget étudiant.

Autrement, super endroit pour organiser des soirées d'humour ou tout autre événement de type conférence/chill. :)

Kawalees est un vrai lieu culturel à Montréal. J'adore l'ambiance chaleureuse & l'énergie des événements qu'ils organisent : musique, théâtre, stand-up & plus encore. L'équipe rend les choses simples & accessibles pour les artistes, avec de vraies commodités & une organisation fluide. On sent un réel soutien à la scène artistique
