Absolutely terrible service, extremely incompetent. We were a group of 12 & basically were pressured to drink. 10$ per shot of bar rail tequila. 9$ for orange juice shot for our non alcoholic friends. We were in the middle of giving speeches for a friend & were interrupted to pay the bill asked for two more minutes to have our reserved table she said no there were other people waiting, the bar was empty. We asked the waitress to put the drinks on the table she said she needed her tray back & wouldn't just put them down.

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 !

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.

Fantastic experience! Tommy & Larry are fantastic bartenders, really make you feel welcome. The menu is excellent, all the drinks I had were crafted with care. The music is upbeat but not too loud to have a chat & enjoy your time, & the lighting is appropriately dim where it sets a mood but doesn't impede practicalities like seeing or reading.

A+++++++ experience, would definitely recommend & go back.

& no, just in case anyone is wondering with all the 5-star reviews, I did not get any kickback for this. The bar really is just that good.

So fun! Enter through the door at Sabrosa. The bartender made me a drink based one what I liked - it was delicious. Also a fun nerdy theme!
