Across reviews, La Distillerie is praised for superb cocktails and attentive, friendly staff, a warm cozy atmosphere, and strong value with long drinks served in mason jars that many describe as perfectly balanced. Guests repeatedly note the welcoming vibe for a night out with friends or a date, the option to bring in food, and a lively yet unpretentious scene. Favorites mentioned include the espresso martini and classic cocktails, with many praising the innovation and the quality of the drinks as well as the generous pours for the price. The bar is described as an institution in the neighborhood and a must visit in Montreal, with reviewers highlighting the mood lighting, unique flavors, and the skilled bartenders who tailor drinks to taste. A few entries express sadness about closures or changes, hoping for a speedy reopening, and a few note noise levels could be improved with acoustic tweaks. Overall, La Distillerie earns high marks for atmosphere, service, and a compelling cocktail program that keeps guests coming back.
Honest to god so devastated if this place closes, been going here for years, favourite bar in the city. Always a good vibe, staff are incredible, had so many good memories here. My friends & I visited once dressed up as Pitbull & we did fireball shots with the staff

The cocktail bar in Montreal that had incredible friendly crowds, great staff & redefined mixology with affordable cocktails as well as pionneered the use of mason jars as serving glasses. You will be missed La Distillerie
FAVORITE bar in Montreal, simply because of the superb cocktails & the even better staff. The bartenders are happy to make any drink to order, & everything is extremely affordable. You can also bring your own food in, for free
The Goldfish are addictive, & the cocktails always impeccable. This place specializes in perfectly balanced long drinks, in particular cocktails mixed in Mason jars, such as their perfect classic mojito. We've been coming for years; it's a mandatory visit every time we're in Montreal. In fact, they inspired a major part of our cocktail program at our own cocktail bar (RIP This End Up). I hope La Distillerie lives on forever. Chin chin!!!

Top notch cocktails, super friendly & fun staff…& goldfish crackers on the house before 7pm lol. Loved the dirty martini, lychee shooters, & espresso martini. This is a must-visit cocktail ba
Bar amazing, super bon cocktails, l'ambiance est top & contrairement a la #2 c'est assez petit mais intime in a good way! On a pu etre servis pas l'AMAZING Arianne, encore merci milles fois pour le service superbe! Ca vaut la peine d'y aller juste pour elle!
Un bar agradable, el servicio genial, las bebidas ricas, precicios accesibles. Los meseros son muy amables. En contra esquina hay un estacionamiento economico y seguro.
