Polari

5.0

Polari is a perfect neighborhood bar. In a compact space on a quiet street, it's where wine nerds & locals who are in-the-know go. They gave a great selection of natural wine, & when I'm not drinking I love that they carry Drinks Farm. There are also some snacks that are simple & pair well with a glass of something bright & irreverent. Service is knowledgeable & present without being overbearing. A true Montreal gem.

Went to Polari a couple of times in the past few weeks & had always had a great time.

The food portions aren't big, so it takes a few different plates if you're looking to make a meal, but they're all delicious (even the bread with whipped butter is a hit!) & perfect for snacking.

The wine selection is excellent, varied, & just extensive enough to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. For non-wine drinkers, the cocktails are also top notch & the beer selection is small but solid.

The service is absolutely wonderful! Everyone is very friendly & super knowledgeable about both the food & drinks, so if you're unsure of what to take, they'll be able to help guide you to something you'll enjoy.

The decor is simple, but strikes an awesome balance between chic & warm/cozy. Music adds to the atmosphere, but is still quiet enough that you can easily talk without needing to raise your voice.

I definitely recommend Polari for a drink & snacks!

What an incredible addition to the neighborhood, nay the city in general! The space is intimate & warm! Perfect for an after work glass of wine, evening with friends, cute date or just hanging out with a book at the bar. Everyone who works there is charming & knowledgeable & can take you on a glorious wine journey. The perfect vibe & quite frankly - the perfect wine bar. ❤?
