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.

Absolutely loved this place, bartender was awesome, other patrons were fun to talk to, kinda felt like sitting in a living room. Small space but in a cozy way. Large drink menu. Hot dogs. What more can a person want???

my first ever bar experience while visiting montreal with my boyfriend for my bday, & i can proudly & confidently say that this experience has been beyond amazing!! Not only were the bartenders, Oliver & Sebstian, incredibly kind & helpful with questions we had about the area around Downtown Montreal, they both made my evening an extremely memorable one. I HIGHLY recommend coming here & sitting at the bar, chatting with them & the atmosphere. I would 100% come back here when i visit Montreal again. Thank you Oliver & Sebstian for the wonderful experience!!!

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.

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.

A great place for classic cocktails, beer, & wine. Bartenders were super nice. They have hot dogs & chips but you can bring in food if you want!

Absolutely the best bar in Montreal, the staff here is simply the best & the entire feel of the place is so comforting & so cool. My wife & I came here a few years ago before it was named MALT & we are so very happy it is even better than it was before. The drinks are superb, the bartenders are so accommodating & helpful, & the vibes are spectacular. We will keep coming back year after year.
