About

Sample Listening Bar operates as a dedicated space centered on the intersection of high-fidelity audio and balanced drink pairings. The menu presents a selection of sharp, citrus-forward cocktails alongside savory, bite-sized snacks designed for easy consumption. Polished wooden surfaces and carefully positioned speakers define the room, creating an environment where the playback of analog records shapes the atmosphere. Low lighting enhances the textures of the space, allowing the focus to remain strictly on the sonic clarity and the nuanced flavors within each glass. The environment functions as a sanctuary for focused listening sessions complemented by a thoughtful, minimalist approach to bar offerings.

Le service & l'atmosphère étaient superbes. Malheureusement les deux cocktails que nous avons pris ne nous ont pas plu. Celui à la pastèque avait juste le goût à de l'eau. Il y a encore plein d'autres cocktails à goûter & j'en doute pas qu'ils doivent être bons, nous y retournerons pour les essayer & avoir un avis plus complet.

Had a great experience at Sample Listening Bar! The vibes were high, with great music & a really welcoming atmosphere. Huge shoutout to Candice for being such a wonderful server. She was incredibly accommodating & made our visit even better. So good we had to come back twice!

Really enjoyed our visit to Sample. Not only is the vibe & sound system (immersive yet not too loud) immaculate, but the drinks were some of the most interesting & unique I've ever had.

Our waitress was especially helpful & friendly as well which made the experience even better. Easily the best customer service we received all week.

Highly recommend checking out Sample for a drink or two while in Montreal.

Très bel endroit, confortable, atmosphère cozy & intime. Services excellent, une offre de cocktails suprenants à essayer, le seul problème est que plusieurs n'étaient pas disponibles, victimes de leur succès. Il va falloir y retourner pour les essayer. Une belle adresse à découvrir.

Great ambiance. We sat at the bar & had a couple of fantastic drinks (Queen Sista & Rufus) . We were the first to arrive on a Saturday afternoon right after 4pm. The vibe & music were on point & we enjoyed getting to know the bartenders. The music provides a nice backdrop but isn't so loud you can't have a conversation. Also We got to know others next to us at the bar while we were there. If you enjoy Japanese whisky, I thought the Rufus was lovely.
