This was my second time visiting this bar, & once again it was a great experience. I came back for a concert, & both times the atmosphere & vibe were fantastic. Definitely planning to return for another show the next time I'm in Montreal.

Tout est la pour que vous passiez une bonne soirée. Match des Canadiens retransmis, machines à sous & personnes extravagante dans le bar. Je recommande les yeux fermés

Sat down. Bartenders was talking g to regulars. After 6 minutes of siting at the bar & no one even said hello or acknowledge I was there I took off. I will try to give this place another chance.
