Sora 45 offers a memorable experience with a breathtaking panoramic view of Montreal from the top floor, especially at sunset, paired with a chic ambiance and attentive service. The cocktail program earns high marks for creativity and quality, while the food is tasty but portions can be small and prices can feel a bit steep. The atmosphere ranges from cozy and refined to lively, and seating can be limited or crowded, with some noise that can make work or conversations challenging. Overall, the venue is highlighted as a must see for the view and for drinks, with a welcoming staff and an ambiance that works for dates as well as casual outings.
For a Thursday night, Sora 45 is a great bar for drinks after work. I love a good citrusy drink so the Tangerine Tree was a great choice! We were seated at the bar, then walked around to get a glimpse of the entire city. Special thanks to our bartender Zach who had great energy during the evening🍸🌙

The most unique bar in the city, & one of few places that can claim that you're not just there for the view. The cocktails are incredible & well crafted, shoutout Louis for the coolest Japanese inspired menu. This is a spot where the drinks & the views combine into the perfect evening. Definitely a must visit bar if you're in the city!
Lovely spot to grab a drink, the view is gorgeous. My friend & I came here a few months ago for their happy hour special & we enjoyed our Apperol Spritz. We did experience an issue as we were charged the regular, not happy hour, price for our drinks. We only saw it after paying, & eventually they did refund us, but it is something to pay attention to. Besides that, we enjoyed our time at this place.
Les drinks & la nourriture étaient vraiment bon! C'est un super bel endroit & parfait pour aller prendre un verre avec des amis. Peux être un peu cher pour certains les drinks étaient 20-30$
Nice view, but drinks were not good & it was too busy to the point where you couldn't find a spot or be comfortable. For a Japanese cafe, I'd expect better matcha.
Incredible view, great good & drinks, & fantastic music/environment. The food & drinks are a bit pricey, & if you're bringing a laptop to work, beware of'lounge only' areas, marked with a sign on the tables. A great place to work remotely, or co-work.
J'ai tout aimé de mon expérience au sora45. Moi & mon copain avons commandé plusieurs des items sur le menu & c'était excellent. Le service était incroyable & nous avons bien été conseillé sur nos drinks & même certain était customized selon nos goût. La vue est incroyable pour le sunset & la musique est très bonne.
Overall it was an amazing experience. We ordered four dishes to share. They were all surprisingly good! I ordered the pornstar Martini to drink. It came with a glass of champagne. The bartender suggested to have one sip of the martini, one sip of the champagne. Very interesting drinking experience! We came at sunset. If you sit by the bar, you can see the sunset right in front of you. It was really pretty. We enjoyed our time there, with the food, drink, & sunset. It was a perfect evening. Plus, it is a great place for a date.

Very strange experience. The place feels luxurious while also relaxed at the same time, with beautiful views & chill music. The cocktails are intricate & delicious, with well balanced flavours. The service was, unfortunately, a let down. Nonchalant, throwing the drink coasters a meter across the table & loudly talking at each other, almost screaming, across the place. When we asked for the bill, we were made to wait some good time for no apparent reason.
I believe this can be a 10/10 place, but our experience was just not.
The absolute best spot for a drink, a bite & fabulous service! The view is the most beautiful way to appreciate Montreal, especially at sunset! Will go back again & again. A shout out to the manager & bar chef Carl, the best in the biz!
A very chill place with an amazing view. With a surprise menu & cocktails that change often. Ask the barman for any information for drinks or what they could make for you.
The talented people who run it bring to life an intimate, welcoming atmosphere with exceptional service. It was easy to be enthralled by their infectious enthusiasm for their craft, especially since everyone was so generous in sharing their perspectives & recommendations during our time there.
The drinks themselves were incredible - beautifully presented & delicious - several of my new favorite cocktails came from behind the bar. The Honeydew & their version of the New York Sour were among the standouts.
Visiting Sora, you'll undoubtedly leave with a greater appreciation for excellent cocktails & what the best of Montreal has to offer.
