About

La Distillerie defines its identity through a signature approach to cocktail craftsmanship and focused pub fare. The establishment utilizes large-format glassware to serve meticulously prepared mixtures, emphasizing visual impact and precise ingredient layering. The menu leans into robust, comforting bar provisions designed to complement the complex botanical profiles of the drink selections. Exposed brick walls and industrial aesthetic elements define the interior atmosphere, providing a functional backdrop for the high-volume service model. The culinary focus remains on shareable, flavor-forward snacks that prioritize texture and seasoning over elaborate presentation. Each plate aligns with the beverage program to maintain a cohesive experience for patrons who prioritize quality spirits and efficient, casual service. The environment emphasizes a dynamic social atmosphere where the interaction between artisanal mixology and standard pub food remains the primary operational objective.

In my experience Montréal has always been a welcoming & kind city. I haven't felt that more than when I walked into this bar. I had probably had one of the worst days of luck when it comes to traveling in my life, with every plane I was trying to take home that day being canceled. After ending up booking a bus ride back home with a 5 hour layover in between I wandered into this bar. I was greeted with warmth & comfort from everyone inside. The basic & small acts of kindness even when just doing their job was something so profoundly warm & human after dealing with cold bureaucratic indifference for an entire day. I don't want to post anyone's name without permission but I hope the owners know they have a phenomenal bartender that was working on July 26th 2026 & that you've earned a life long patron whenever I'm back in this great city.

La Tour à Hot-Dogs ❤?

MALT is where you go when you're in desperate need of your Uncle's 1970's basement or your chain-smoking-forever-young grandma's living room. This aesthetic of this place is one thing, but can we talk about their DRINKS? Delightful, delicious, they've got ✨range✨!

The blended coffee drink is addictive as hell & is the perfect late night dessert.. it has my heart. If you're lucky you might even get to taste their fruity little lemon-esque shot.

& finally.. Lily. Lily is the BOMB! She runs the best ship in the joint, & slays.. always! May all of the patrons get the chance to meet the lovely Lily :)

See you next week 🫵

We didn't have food, but I'll give it 5 stars based on the rest of our experience. We are in town for a short time & wanted to stop for a drink. Stumbled upon MALT & couldn't be happier.

Lilly gave us fantastic service & amazingly crafted cocktails. She was attentive, friendly & knowledgeable. The vibe is great, & if you're looking for an intimate cocktail bar- this place is for you.

As I said, we didn't get food (it was late), but the first thing I noticed on the menu was 8 hotdogs for $35. This place knows how to steal my heart. 10/10 would recommend.

Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Ontario Est. L'ambiance est vraiment relaxante, parfaite pour prendre un verre entre amis.

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de pouvoir jouer à des jeux de société tout en dégustant nos cocktails. Le petit pot de collations servi à table est une attention très appréciée. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

Staff was really nice, we went there to watch the Belgium-Spain football match & were allowed to enter before the opening to watch the match. Thanks again !
Cocktails are quite good - I highly recommend

Great accidental find during the Jazz Festival. Vinyl setup behind the bar is great & really adds to the atmosphere. 70's living room decor, but in a good way. Bartender/DJ combo a nice touch.

If you haven't tried the boozy café glacé MALT on a hot summer night, you are missing out.
