We attended a friend's anniversary dinner here, & it was such a great experience. Even though we came from outside the area, it was absolutely worth it.

The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was excellent. I was especially impressed by how well they managed to accommodate a large group-it made the whole event feel seamless.

This is definitely a place I would recommend if you're planning a special event. There's live music later in the evening, which added a really fun & entertaining touch.

The space itself feels very homey, with beautiful wood décor that gives it a cozy, elegant vibe. Also, the alcohol prices are quite reasonable, which is always a plus.

Overall, a lovely spot for a memorable night-enjoy!

NOTE: This is about long ago, when it was the FIRST micro-pub in Montreal! One long long room, low-key but perfect, slick steel & faux marble...Such good times & beer to die for (we were there nearly everyday for a few years until... we moved, snif!) My favorite bar EVER! Doesn't hurt to hear a bit of history; it wasn't just great until competition came; it was a though act to follow, & thrived! Just 3 selections of the week (some seasonal) but when they say less is more... WOW! (& probably the last place to have a throwback 25c peanut machine at the bar, cute touch!

The staff were sociable, ALL artists (from different domains) & the music really great, not radio music: you went there to hear new, or older, always 'on point' selections! Lots of students, chill older types: it had fun local art & music shows, always changing. Had all the cultural papers on site, exhibitions news, comic strips drawn by staff) so something to do while waiting on a friend or on your own (back before smartphones, lol)

Can't speak of the food or terrasses, which didn't exist then. BUT anywhere THAT great, with THAT great people behind it, while becoming bigger, must have kept some original charm (& the best beer!) I have been in, but quickly since, &... I guess it's just as pleasant, but for another crowd, in different ways, with the new additions. My only sad comment would be that when a place gets large, it seems emptier when not prime time. But hey, the beer on tap is better than anything bottled -even their own-!. Just for that...Worth the try, at any rate! : )

Small place to sit & talk louder than music or good to see a show live

I appreciate iate the lighting & volume of music... nothing too intense. The little food we had was very good. But the beer is the star of the show. Cool, laid-back spot in a very centralized part of town

This is the best bar in Montreal. Beer is excellent. Vibe is elite. Music is always good. It is my go to place in MTL.
