Haven't tried the food yet. The brewed beer is great. Tried the la boheme. Great atmosphere suitable for families with kids as well. Taking the family next week to try the food.
Petit arrêt à la micro Cardinal Belle sélection de bière & menu agréable & abordable! Par contre un peu en manque de staff ce qui rend l'attente pour la nourriture un peu longue. On recommande!

Le service est impeccable & la bière est bonne. Seul petit hic, il y avait un live band assez bruyant... J'adore les live band. Mais quand on veut relaxer autour d'une bière & d'une bonne conversation c'est assez difficile à réaliser quand on s'entend à peine...
First time here today & had the stout. It wasn't available on tap so they offered a can. The stout has to be the most ordinary stout ive ever had. Cloudy with nothing interesting on the the usual notes an oatmeal stout offers. Girlfriend had a golden blond which was pretty good. Place seems fun though although the decor needs some work.

Très chouette endroit. Les bières sont excellentes. Côté nourriture, je recommande le nacho mais tenez-vous loin de la poutine : de loin la pire que j'ai mangée de ma vie. Pour 14$, la portion est minuscule, la sauce trop liquide & salée, le fromage n'est pas frais & les frites congelées sont molles.

Bel endroit avec tables & chaises extérieures. Situé dans un ancien garage de mécanique automobile complètement rénové & repeint. Bons choix de bières mais petit menu pas trop varié. Ambiance aléatoire. C'est mort pendant certaines heures ou très achalandé dans d'autres moments. Personnellement, j'ai essayé plusieurs bières mais je n'ai pas aimé.
