Projet Pilote - Distillery & Brewpub functions as a dual-purpose production facility that integrates on-site spirit distillation with craft beer brewing. The menu emphasizes pub food staples and elevated comfort dishes designed to complement the house-made beverages. Large stainless steel vats and copper stills define the industrial aesthetic of the expansive space. Patrons select from a rotation of small-batch spirits, creative cocktails, and artisanal ales brewed directly behind the bar. The kitchen focuses on approachable shareable plates and hearty pub fare utilizing local ingredients to sustain the active drinking environment. This establishment maintains a technical focus on the intersection of modern brewing and distillery science within an open-concept warehouse setting. Each menu item aligns with the specific flavor profiles of the featured alcoholic products.
Projet Pilote comes across as a friendly microbrewery and distillery with on site beers and gin, offering inventive cocktails and a seasonal menu that pairs well with attentive staff who tailor recommendations to taste. Reviews praise the cocktails, beer, and welcoming atmosphere, while noting that portions can be small and prices can be high, and that the music can be loud at times and the food quality can vary. Non alcoholic options are available and the overall experience is memorable and worth returning for.
Superb cocktails & unique beers brewed within the premises. We tried the elegantly perfumed Radler, & the chocolatey Czech Lager. Food was also amazing. Decently priced.
Came hear last year for a beer & some appetizers. Awesome staff & great beer/food. Loved how passionate the server was about their brewing process & his extensive knowledge of beer.
Tellement déçus du service. Après que notre commande a été oubliée (ce qui peut arriver malgré le peu de monde ce soir-là), une table de 6 personnes a été placée & littéralement collée à la nôtre. Nous n'avions plus d'espace pour profiter de notre moment & avons préféré écourter notre passage tant c'était désagréable. Dommage car la nourriture est très bonne, ce qui m'encourage à ne pas descendre sous les 3 étoiles, bien que notre expérience le mériterait.
Agréable trouvaille, dans un cadre plutôt bien réussi. J'y suis venu un lundi soir & j'ai été surpris par du jazz joué en live par deux musiciens ! Je reviendrai avec plaisir pour boire leurs bières/cocktails & pour goûter d'autres plats de la carte
Throughout the years I have been going to Projet Pilote for a couple of drinks, some times food & celebrated my birthday here last year. The service never disappoints! In fact it has been consistently excellent, friendly, attentive & over all well managed. The atmosphere is pleasant because the staff work well as a team & they take pride in their work place. We are lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood! 🤘🏻

As Americans from Vermont we have always found the Montrealais warm & welcoming. We share elements of a common culture & are treated like cousins in Montreal. Le Project Pilote is no exception. We were welcomed warmly, entertained by the spirits manager & the bar tender, & enjoying excellent beer & cocktails. They even claimed to understand my poor French, kind of them! The ambiance is of a friendly, local pub but don't be fooled. The bartending is top notch & the spirits manager will give you a tutorial on all things related to liquor quality, provenance, & the industry in general. These folks are experts at what they do. Definitely, a must go I'd you are in Mont Royal.
The cocktails are tasty, but the place emptied out quickly. By 9 o'clock on a weekday, the bar was nearly deserted. Maybe it's a Montreal thing, but we were expecting the vibe to last until at least 11:00
Not sure if Montreal has a huge happy hour scene, but the fact that you can get $5 pints on tap here is a steal in today's economy. Project Pilote is a fabulous green bar that functions as a mini brewery/distillery that also serves food during the kitchen's open hours. We had a variety of drinks to choose from & the staff there were very accommodating & helpful in picking out the best drafts. We ended up staying for an hour just relaxing after battling for fries next door, & I'd definitely go back again.
Pretty space. Service was friendly & efficient but not really attentive at all after the initial order. Shrimp toast was delicious, smash burger was typical, both overpriced for what they are though. They don't come with any sides by the way. Mint Julep inspired cocktail was strong & smooth, forgot the name though.
On est aller un Lundi, on as pris le souper découverte & c'était le meilleur rapport qualité prix que jai vue a mlt. Salade de légumes cultivé sur le toit, 2 côtelettes d'agneau & un dessert pour 35$ (jai aussi pris le menu découverte alchool qui allait a merveille avec les plats) . Le menu changes chaque mois & jai bien l'intention dy retourner chaque premier lundi du mois. Le service était incroyable merci a Azure qui a été super a l'écoute de toutes mes questions & qui a vraiment ajouté a l'expérience avec sa gentillesse. Côté ambiance il y avais dla musique live toute douce style jazzy qui ajoutait une touche magique au décor & éclairage déjà super agréable dla place. Je recommende fortement!!
