Tellement cool comme concept, avec la porte cachée. Il faisait un peu chaud mais les décors sont incroyables, les drinks sont originaux & le service est supe
Très bonne expérience. Nous sommes venus entre amis (6) & nous avons adoré l'expérience. Les cocktails sont délicieux, les classiques comme les spéciaux sont très bien réalisés. Les prix sont corrects & nous avons particulièrement aimé un détail : le pourcentage d'alcool dans chaque cocktail est affiché sur la carte. Le service est excellent, aucune faute ou oubli, juste parfait. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture nous n'avons goûté qu'aux pizzas & elles étaient excellentes. Les portions sont plus que correct pour le prix que nous avons payé. Nous avons vraiment apprécié qu'il y ai plusieurs choix de pizzas dont un végétarien & qu'on puisse personnaliser sa pizza si il y a un ingrédient qu'on n'aime pas. La décoration & l'ambiance étaient parfaites. Peut aussi bien convenir à un date en amoureux qu'à une soirée entre amis. Je recommande fortement.
La carte des mocktails pourraient être plus étoffée. 3 au total dont un indisponible. Les 2 autres n'était pas bon un au tobacco l'autre à l'espresso. Je souligne le service! La jeune fille était incroyablement serviable Personnellement j'ai pris un gingerale (j'ai découvert & j'ai validé, un classique) Apparemment la pizza était délicieuse ainsi que les autres accompagnements

We enjoyed Dimitri's attention & service the other night, made our night so enjoyable ! The place is hidden behind the door & you walk a narrow hall to a nicely decorated room. The menu is small (for snacking mainly) but the cocktail menu was intriguing & innovative. We both enjoyed our drinks ! This place is great for date night or a 5@7 with friends or coworkers.
Loved the place, tip: go in from the door that says livraison lol... i wish they had more things on the menu but it is so tasty you must try their beef tartare. Our waiter was SO nice! I recommend the citrus mistress as a Mocktail size wise
The intimate, laid-back atmosphere, burlesque-style décor, soft jazzy music, & excellent, reasonably priced cocktail menu make it the perfect setting for a date night. We ordered several cocktails & a mocktail, all of which were delicious & expertly prepared. They also serve a variety of wines & beers. If you happen to feel a little peckish, they've got you covered with a food menu to enjoy with their extensive list of beverages. Classic bar munchies like olives, nuts, & popcorn, as well as some incredible dips of either goat cheese, eggplant, or hummus. We especially enjoyed the goat cheese dip. They also offer larger dishes like pizza, a sandwich, & beef tartare. With a great central location & wonderful service, we will most definitely return on an actual date to enjoy this lovely speakeasy.
It was a great visit, the staff are very friendly. You get one of the best service in Montreal. The food was great, & the cocktails delicious. Highly recommended.
Nice cocktails in a cool atmosphere. In this case, Magpie probably refers to the disorganized mishmash of unrelated decorations spread over the place, as the word could be defined as "a person who collects things, especially things of little use or value". But it's a fun speakeasy experience, with a great vibe & a cool secret entrance on Gilford. Unfortunately, they seemed understaffed that night & so the service was slow, but friendly. The Gins'N Roses cocktail was the nicest I've tried there so far. Apparently, at happy hour the cocktails are only $10, the pizza is $17, & they sometimes have live music.
