Abordable & service incroyable. Enfin un nouveau pub stylé avec du grit. Parfait pour une bière pu un whisky sans se ruiner. Bonus pour les hot dogs steamés!
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

Bonjour, moi & mes amis adorons votre bel endroit. Cependant, nous sommes des habitués du lundi depuis plusieurs années. Nous sommes absolument dévasté d'apprendre que vous êtes désormais fermé les lundis. Nous espérons que ce ne sera seulement temporaire, gros bisous on vous aime 🫶
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!!!
08/09/2025 Back for our annual return to La Distillerie - same as ever, still amazing! Enjoying a happy hour Hurricane today. Thanks for being one of our favourite bars ever!
Super découverte 🍹
Barman (Damien) super PRO avec les cocktails +++++
Accueil tres sympathique +++++
Cocktail à tomber par terre +++++
Établissement au top je recommande
J'aime l'atmosphère, le choix des cocktails, seulement point négatif le bruit, trouver une solution avec des panneaux pour le son au dessus des tables peut-être mais je reviendrais.
