Had the absolute worst experience at Nhau Bar. I was really excited to come here for my friend's birthday, but the service was terrible, & the staff was awfully rude. At first, we are told that we need to check our coats, & that we won't be let into the bar with any coats on, even a jean jacket. So they force us to pay $4 per coat check just to go into the bar, while when we went down into the bar others were wearing their coats & jackets. So what a big scam & truly despicable. As well, I know we had a young group go, but if we are giving our IDs, yes, you can be skeptical, but there is no need to laugh, which the waitress denied doing... but she did, also giving a lot of rude attitude to everyone. It was the rudest tone we have ever encountered at a bar, & it added to this terrible experience. Besides that, the drinks were fine. I appreciated the atmosphere in the bar & the free dessert for my friend, but our mood was thrown off, & we just had an awful time. It is truly sad to be treated like this for no apparent reason. We just wanted to have a calm, respectful time, but we were met with overt rudeness. I say this regretfully, as I hate talking down businesses, but personally, I know I will never return & would never recommend anyone go here if this is what they will be met with.
there was a mandatory coat check that we got charged for which set the mood off in a weird way. The service was bad for a cocktail bar: someone at our table asked for recommendations from the menu & whether the bar tender was able to make something off menu with a specific ingredient, the server did not give any information or offer interest in cocktails or mixology. I watched the bartender free pouring cocktails which was alarming. As a bartender myself I did not feel like they understood that ratios are key to a balanced cocktail. Even at our own table two of the same drinks did not taste the same. There was attention to detail on the aesthetic of the cocktails, but they did not taste good or worth the cost. The ambience is the main reason for coming. The lanterns are cute. The seating is fine, not conducive to talking in a group.

Fantastic, impeccable with great lounge music. Their drinks were delicious & their food was spectacular. We ordered the degustation experience with 5 plates. All the food was fantastic, lot of different flavours. You have to try their fries broccoli. Will definitely come back.
We were having a great time last night . Great drinks & great atmosphere. We were seated & had a table & all of a sudden very rudely we were asked to leave the table because there was allegedly a reservation. The waiter said only bottle service at the table, however, it had been over 1 h 30 mins wee were at the table having drinks, which by the way are not cheap at at all. Cheapest cocktail with tax & tips is $20 & my friend paid $38 for 2 glasses of red wine.I told the waiter my friend wanted to order a bottle of wine to which she answered: other people will order more expensive bottles than that. I was so pissed. The table next to us, which we didn't know, offered us to be with them, but the waiter said with attitude: it will be too crowded. I then talked to the guy that took the table & told him what happened. He told me he didn't have a reservation but in order for him to enter the bar he was told he needed to buy a bottle. Long story short, we were treated like garbage after being already consuming in the place & having a good time. The worst part is that the 2 women servers lied to us & didn't even feel sorry & they felt this was normal to treat customers like this. Never going back again.

We had an amazing time at Nhau! It's a great space with some thoughtful attention to detail, such as some lovely incense staff attended to that really made the space warm & inviting.
You'll find tiki & tiki-inspired drinks here, & while that usually suggests tropical, fruity, & pretty sweet libations, bartender Kali really shines at balancing everything!
It got busy later in the evening & she was a whirlwind behind the bar, but was also bubbly & passionate about the craft when we had any questions, taking the time to discuss & engage with us. She is excellent at bringing in a beautiful savoury element to the drinks, & just has this intuitive spark; one of my later orders was pretty good, but didn't quite hit like the others, & she somehow just knew. Without a word, Kali later whisked it away & in moments redid it from scratch, proclaiming,'I like to make this one a little different...' & it became something special, more beet-forward, balanced, & layered.
There is a crowded lineup of top cocktail destinations in this city, but some have been resting on past accolades & become complacent. Nhau demonstrates the ability to brawl with the best of them, & has easily become one of our cocktail bars to revisit the next time we return to Montreal!
Sometimes, all you need is a great night with friends! & it's perfect when delicious food is served! From Pad Thai, salmon, Bao buns, to incredible drinks, eveything was… Yum!
With lots of laughs & a few too many cocktails, the ambiance was buzzing! Thanks to the staff & the amazing music from a top DJ Francisco!

Drinks are amazing & well-priced! Our servers were really kind & chill. One of the top speakeasy/cocktail bars that I have been to - wasn't too crazy but very fun.
Was super excited to go here on the long weekend, & the entrance was amazing; walking down the stairs was awe-inspiring, & the place (downstairs) was beautiful.
However, the sound volume was so loud that we had to leave after a few minutes. Didn't even get a chance to order a drink.
Note to the DJ - louder does not mean better (you were wearing headphones). I feel sorry for the staff hear - must have ear ringing for days.
Dropped in on a slow Wednesday night. Niki & Daphne were great company, telling us stories of what it was like to grow up in France (Niki) & Quebec (Daphne). Very friendly folks.
The drinks were very well balanced & the atmosphere was cozy. I experienced flavors that I've never tasted before in cocktails.
As someone who's ethnically Vietnamese, I was super excited to try this place. Especially since I saw it highly recommended as a (Vietnamese) speakeasy. & while I appreciated the location, decor, & decor -- I felt the service & drinks were under par. I also appreciated the live DJ, but I think I was hoping for a more speak'easy' vibe. I can see how this is a highly rated experience for some people though!

Super place avec ambiance cozy & hors de l'ordinaire. Demander s'il va y avoir un DJ pour le soir ou vous voulez y aller, ce sera un gros plus même si ce n'est pas nécessaire pour passer un bon moment l'as-bas Laissez-vous tenter avec des drinks plus spéciaux les uns que les autres.
Way too much ice in pricy drinks made them overpriced, music was way too loud for an underground speakeasy (DJ needs to check autistic levels first to ensure it's lively but also balanced & not perching). Wasn't amazing, wasn't bad. Average place, seemed like a place that used to be a hot place to go to, & got too comfortable. Services was great though.
