Le Rouge Gorge comes across as a stylish yet approachable spot with a beautiful interior and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The bar scene and overall atmosphere are standout, with well crafted cocktails, a serious wine list, and a sophisticated but relaxed mood that fits both dates and nights out with friends. Service is frequently praised for attentiveness and friendliness, with staff described as knowledgeable and helpful, though a few notes about slower or inconsistent service and some loud moments appear. The menu is small but strong, with items such as ceviche, fried chicken, crudo, and other shareable bites receiving praise, while portions can feel small and prices can be on the higher side for some guests. The overall experience blends a high end feel with good value for quality, particularly for drinks and wine, and the place is repeatedly recommended as a top spot to visit. The ambience ranges from a convivial bar to a chic speakeasy downstairs, offering different vibes for different evenings. Most reviewers say they would return and that the place leaves a memorable impression with tasty food and excellent drinks.
Certainement l'un des meilleurs bars-restaurants qu'on puisse trouver à Montréal. La décoration est très élégante & le personnel extrêmement professionnel & poli. La qualité des cocktails & des plats est excellente pour le prix. Notre barmaid, Christina, était très sympathique & professionnelle. Je le recommande vivement.
Très belle place, accueillante & chaleureuse. Bonne ambiance, idéale pour date ou retrouvailles entre amis. Les cocktails sont excellents. Je recommande ce bar.

Great time at the bar. Terrific cocktails, amazing service & wonderful ambiance. Was a reco from my daughter... I'll absolutely go back (& right by metro station).
Beautiful space & the food was delicious. Staff genuinely was friendly without being overwhelming. The cocktails are delicious & prices are very reasonable for the quality. A great date night/girls night out spot.
Great spot for happy hours well past 7, & for dates ! I was downstairs in the "speakeasy", it was super cozy with cute jazzy upbeat music. It wasn't too loud. Cocktails were amazing & there was a great selection of non alcoholic beverages. Shared a few plates that were very tasty & very easy to split amongst us. The staff is super friendly & attentive to our needs!
Nice spot for date or place to unwind with wine ! The speakeasy in the basement was closed due to holliday schedule , but i wouls definetely return , i enjoyed my cocktail & food was fresh .

Great date spot, great spot for trying different wines. Reasonably priced. Came here on suggestion by a local. It was super happening. There was a live DJ playing electronic music. It almost felt like you were in a european pub, just lively & so many people hanging out with friends etc. Their cocktail list was expansive & looked very good, but we came for the wines. We had a dessert of the molten chocolate cake which was very nice. The wines were also great. The service was a little hit or miss. There was a gentleman there that was fantastic, I didn't get his name, but really knowledgable & warm. Our direct server was not the greatest, she disappeared for long periods of time & didn't really help too well when we wanted recommendations. Overall a super cute spot, filled with locals.
This is THE place in montreal to explore good wine, good cocktails, & more! The staff is so knowledgeable & the selection is beyond impressive. A must go spot in montreal!
Incroyable service de la part du staff au Speakeasy ce soir, bonne attitude, connaissances de nos noms (pour un grand groupe), service rapide & appliqué. Très bons cocktails Dj incroyable pour la musique Nourriture très très bonne, seul point, portions moyennes (du moins pour mon tartare, j'aurais aimé avoir un peu plus) service rapide Merci à tous & à bientôt 🫡
Another great place to grab a drink & this place was buzzing even on a Tuesday night. I had two drinks, the Buster Keaton, which was delicious & the Gianni Giuliano which was great & quite strong. There are a lot of cocktails to chose from so you will surely be able to find one you like. They are also know for their wine bar, & although I am not a wine drinker, this is great as it can cater to more people in your group. The food was good, but we only had a little snack, the figs. Service was great, as I noted it was full, so we sat at the bar but were given a table as soon as one was available. The place is also not too loud, as the music is kept at a reasonable level so you can talk to each other. Drinks are around $15, so pretty standard from my experience. If you eat also, it can get pricy, but I cannot comment on the food much.
Même si le bar était bondé (vendredi soir dernier), le service était excellent, j'étais impressionnée. Tout le personnel était hyper courtois, attentif en plus d'être vraiment efficace. Vous leur transmetterez le compliment! :) Cocktails originaux & variés. Pas tous aussi bien balancés mais le cocktail tiki avec du falernum était excellent (si on aime les cocktails tiki).
Nice restaurant, great vibes, chill place to have a glass of wine or cocktail with friends! We are not wine connoisseurs, they offered for us try one with the description of what we said we liked in a wine! 1st fast was a charm! We sat at the bar, & the barman was adorable, super friendly! We also had the « fondue au chocolat » with passion fruit dessert! It was a big enough portion for 2! Yummy! Downstairs near the toilets, they have a more lively, club vibe, let's danse section! If you feel like shaking things up a little! *coat check was complimentary 🥰
