Ok so 1. the space is not large but the layout is great with a street area, main level open doors, upstairs with bar, sitting area & then an amazing one row patio of tables over looking Duluth & then an indent terrace area. 2. The beer is top-notch. I just moved here from Toronto & have travelled all over drinking every beer I can coast-to-coast & damn this place has it going on. They have perfected their selection & well, yum, give me more. 3. JC is so nice & just chill, effective fun & he even remembered my last order. The other staff (Julien I think) & the others run a tight ship & ensure that the experience is smooth, flawless & fun. Thanks all for being awesome & I look forward to consuming lots of your beer, cocktails is & damn I forgot to mention the amazing food. Simply awesome! August 20 2024 update-I was lucky enough to meet one of the owners Vickie. & well she is just awesome. Hands down on of my favourite # bars Montreal!

The experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag, leaning more towards the negative side. The upstairs terrace was disappointing-it felt poorly maintained & a bit dirty, which was a real letdown. Only a few tables had a nice view, while the rest were stuck in a corridor that didn't feel welcoming at all. The atmosphere just wasn't pleasant. Service-wise, we didn't have much luck. Our waiter wasn't attentive & didn't bother clearing dirty dishes, which left a bad impression. It seemed like other tables were getting better service, but unfortunately, we weren't so fortunate. On the upside, the beer selection was solid, & the food was actually quite good, which we appreciated. But honestly, the poor service & unappealing atmosphere overshadowed the positives, leaving us with a pretty disappointing overall experience.
Très bonne bière. Plusieurs choix. Belle micro. On a prit l'assiette de fromages. Excellent choix de 3 fromage, mais portion légèrement peu généreuse pour le prix le double du pain aurait été apprécié.
Good, if somewhat limited selection of beers, recommend the cream ale & stout, super smooth Food is above what's you'd expect in a bar, & the staff are great - especially the dude with the yellow hair - tartare & the cheese plate for me
Toujours du plaisir à visiter l'endroit, la bouffe est délicieuse, les prix sont excellents, bon rapport qualité/prix. La sélection de bières est vraiment très bien aussi, plusieurs choix & la qualité y est aussi. Si vous avez la chance d'être sur la terrasse en haut ça vaut la peine.

We combined a visit with a trek up & down Mount Royal. Promise of beer at the end of the trail kept us going. As a devotee of the "follow the beer" principle for our family travels, I have been to many a brewery, microbrewery & beer pub. Reservoir is a gem. I had the milk stout & West Coast (Quest) IPA, both were fresh & excellent. The fried chicken sandwich was spot on. Place was hopping on a Thurs. afternoon. Only minor ding was no AC in dining area inside- wife could not handle, so we ate outside; probably saved me from consuming many more beers!
My favorite place in Montreal. The beer is exceptional, the food is exceptional, the service is exceptional. & all packaged neatly into a gorgeous building with both a fantastic rooftop & curbside patio. Highly recommend.
The pics were better than what you see & get there. The menu was strange with no names for the food & only ingredients. The staff were not much friendly. But the dish was fine. Overall, I didnt have a pleasant experience there.

Hadn't been here for many years, so I decided to pop in. Beers are fantastic; a staff member let me sample a few, & it was genuinely difficult to decide on one. The one food item I had was fantastic (haddock, I think?). Staff was very kind & just chatty enough.
Amazing spot for drinks & small plates with a view! Large assortment of different beers on tap along with a good selection of cocktails & wines. A lot of small dishes to accompany the drinks, & while we weren't too hungry, the cheese plate was nicely curated & the perfect compliment. Definitely a spot I'd stop by anytime I'm in Montreal & I'd love to try more of their menu! Highly recommend!
