Such a wonderful establishment. ❤️ Tried the Premiere of the signature Mocktail by Jasmine; Amaretto Amore (AA), Launching tomorrow at'N sur McKay' bar. For a little something sweet that even the salty, savory preferred patrons would love, you'll want to check this out. A hint of Chocolat Aztec Bitters, Amaretto & Coffee mix. Well done ✔️. #JDP3_official approved. Check out their listing on p. 79 of the Kaitlyn McGInnis guidebook, 111 places in Montreal that you must not miss.

Feels like a neighborhood bar where everybody comes together to meet for a drink... & it was a Sunday. I felt like i intruded & the bartender was sassy as hell. The beer & tequilas shots was good though.
Went for a quick late night drink in the middle of the week. Wasn't too busy but there were people & staff was super friendly & amazing & their house drinks were excellent!!!
Good priced Whiskys with a variety of bottles! Scotch, Bourbon, Irish, Canadian etc Definitely I will come back to this place whenever I pass by rue Ste-Catherine.
Stumbled upon this gem while looking for a cocktail. Shannon made us fantastic drinks & offered insight on where to find more in the area. This bar is full of character & good service! Cheers.
We reserved the back space for a birthday. Staff was great, huge selection of spirits & some St Ambroise on tap to cleanse your palette. Would definitely recommend for an enjoyable evening of sipping & company. NOTE: No food is available but they allow you to order for delivered there.
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.
