Was just visiting Montreal for a couple of days & stumbled upon this Latin speakeasy by accident, but it quickly became one of the highlights of my trip!
Fayza was attentive & delightful, her hospitality & drinks were absolutely top-notch. The atmosphere, music, & overall vibe made the experience unforgettable. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal!

I was in Montreal for just three days & had to stop by here more than once! Fayza is an angel & the hospitality she gave us was unmatched. I can't recommend this place enough!
Superbe expérience au speakeasy Le 404 dans le Vieux-Montréal ! Les cocktails étaient délicieux & nos deux barmaids étaient incroyablement gentilles, offrant un service & des conversations mémorables. Fortement recommandé !
Friendly service. Cool decor. Not really my type of music. The Flora cocktail was a little odd, not bad but I probably wouldn't get it again. My friend enjoyed her mocktail.

Tucked away downstairs, this little speakeasy feels like you've stepped into another era. Dim lighting, vintage décor, & lovely music.
The cocktails were thoughtful & inventive. You can tell the bartenders actually care about what they're making. Service was warm, knowledgeable, & never rushed.
If you're looking for a cozy, moody spot to unwind with friends or have a date night that feels secretly special, this is it. Montreal has plenty of bars, but few places with this kind of character.
Highly recommend! & thank you Tommy for the service!
Oh my gosh what a hidden gem! This is arguably the best speakeasy in Montreal. The cocktails are fantastic, but the bartenders are even better. Larry & Tommy were soo much fun & so personable that we came back the next night. Do not skip this little speakeasy (underneath the sabrosa restaurant). I would argue that this is better than coldroom. Truly one of the best bar experiences my husband & I have had in all of our travels.
