This was a nice discovery! I had walked by it many times but finally went in to give it a try. It's a nice little place with an upstairs & downstairs portion. They most likely open up the lower section when it gets full upstairs. They have a good selection of beers on tap & can make you any kind of liquor drinking they have the ingredients. The staff was friendly too. Nice little deck outside if you don't mind the traffic on Cote des Neiges. 👍😎

Good service, the staff was friendly & professional. Prices were ok for the beers, & particularly interesting on event nights.

Tiny terrasse, close to Côte-des-neiges street, so very noisy (3-4 fire trucks, 2-3 ambulances, & big trucks). A lot of people smoking cigarettes right besides also, less than 1m away.

No food is served, but you can bring your own to eat there.
