Review Summary

N sur Mackay is described as a warm, cozy bar with a classy old school vibe and a standout whiskey selection that attracts whisky lovers and cocktail fans alike. The cocktail program receives frequent praise for variety and quality, with weekly specials and creative options helping keep the offerings fresh. The space feels inviting with warm lighting, comfortable seating, and decor that blends modern touches with a classic feel, making it good for casual meetups or a quiet night out.

Cozy little spot that's great for getting out of bad weather. Drinks were good. People were friendly.

This is one of my favourite places to go when I want to wind down from my work & also see a comedy show! It's really close, near the Guy-Concordia station in a cozy spot on Rue Mackay. All of the bartenders are great & they all know you by name, which makes it really personal They also have a really great comedy night on Tuesdays that features a variety of local Montreal comedians & occasional famous person.

What I love is that they take risks with experimenting with different types of cocktails each week, often offering them as specials. They have this new cocktail called'noire & epice' which is a type of pumpkin spice espresso martini that I HIGHLY recommend.

Atmosphere is nice & cozy & the first time I went, I had good service.

Unfortunately, the second time back with my gf wasnt the best. We didnt think it was big deal when a first server sat us in a reserved section, so another server had to ask us to move. Mistakes happen, its whatever.

But then that same first server, while taking our order, was lazy enough to tell us if we wanted to order food we had to go check ourselves what was available & then come show him. The bar was about 1/3 full & there were like 4 servers that night so its not like he didnt have time. We understood the menu might not be up to date with inventory but if you cant be arsed to check & tell us whats available, what are you doing as a server. Or you could at least offer to come with us & take our order on the spot… he probably saw we were not happy because a second server took care of us for the remaining 15 min we stayed lol

Will not be going back after this experience which is a shame because the vibe & cocktails were on-point otherwise.

Really quaint & nice cocktail bar with creative & diverse drink options. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere with it being tucked away on the lower level. Wish we had more time to stay & try some other drinks. As a plus, good snacks on offer if you're feeling peckish.

Super unique & intimate vibe for a bar in this neighborhood. The cocktails are awesome (i had a mule) & the servers are very sweet. Beautiful cozy autumn spot
