Reviews describe Poincaré Chinatown as a lively, stylish bar with a standout beer program, including Kölsch on tap and inventive pouring, a warm atmosphere and a charming terrace, and a decor that blends modern touches with neighborhood flair, with the ambiance and drinks frequently praised as a great fit for groups or a relaxed evening, while food is enjoyed but not consistently on par with the drinks, portions can feel small for the price, and a few guests note issues such as excessive foam, uneven service, or limited dessert options, and despite these caveats the place is seen as a welcoming fermentation focused experience that pairs well with social evenings in downtown Montreal.
Service was great though I wish they better marked vegan options. Service was very friendly & quick. Great delicious variety of cocktails, & lots of funky fermented food! Fun place to hangout after work with friends or coworkers, though I really wish the music was a bit lower, it was kinda hard to have a conversation. (I never understand why places like this crank it up so high, don't people come here to talk?)

Place de choix dans le quartier chinois pour l'apéro & grignoter, autant l'été sur leur jolie terrasse sur le toit que l'hiver à l'intérieur dans leur salle très confortable. Il y a toujours de bons choix au verre, par exemple de la Auval en fut ou encore des bulles de Bergeville. En plus, les prix sont raisonnables! Bref, allez-y!
Great place with very good fusionish korean food. Had 4 very tasty cocktail called "hawaiian punch" but i suspect it was a sorry victim of skimflation. It was too soft. Otherwise, the vibe is great.
Dined there at 7pm on a Saturday & three of the dishes we wanted on the menu were already sold out for the night. The borscht was good. The charcuterie was not.
The atmosphere was nice & quiet. I was hesitant in trying this place cause i am not a fan of pickled food but this was surprisingly really good. I would recommend the fries & the confit pork! The IPA was really good too.
Intérieur sympathique & une terrasse agréable cependant les cocktails manquent un peu d'équilibre. Le service était correct mais il a eu de la confusion dans les factures & plusieurs va & vient qui ont fait qu'il a fallu presque 30 min pour payer ...

La terrasse est fantastique. Bonnes bières, bons conseils de l'équipe au service. Excellente nourriture. Intéressante idée niveau fermentation. Les frites sont tellement bonnes!
Eine schöne Dachterrasse mit einer grossen Fassbierauswahl, auch die Wein bzw. Cocktailauswahl ist sehr gut. Wir sind jedoch beim Kölsch hängen geblieben. Schön in Stangen serviert mit automatischem Nachschub. Als Kölner fühlte ich mich direkt zu Hause.
What an EXCELLENT time! Great Vibe, excellent staff, good drinks, loved the music!
Best roof top bar we've been to in awhile! Hats off to Arno (Arnold in french) & his complete staff, fun people, just made our day! Highly recommend for drinks & social time

Une des meilleures terrasses de MTL. Prix très accessible, cuisine créative (je recommande le cocktail au Matcha & le kimchi), belle ambiance, au milieu d’un super quartier.
Kimchi is horrible, nothing close to real kimchi. Ribs are sour, but meat is good, just would go with a better sauce, cocktails are good, not worth coming
