Such a great vibe. Music is the right volume where you can talk, bartenders are phenomenal at their craft, professional, & welcoming. It's hard to find, but well worth the search

I very rarely leave reviews. But as a self proclaimed'cocktail guy' I have to say Milee was an incredibly knowledgeable & friendly bartender. The menu looked amazing but even without it, Milee came up with fantastic options that hit perfectly. I can't wait to go back home to tell them about the Cold Room & I hope Milee is there to give them the services I received as well. & you know this will be the first stop when I'm back in Montreal.

Came as a recommendation from the chefs at Le Mousso & we weren't let down. Fantastic atmosphere, great drinks, & Jackson behind the bar was super friendly & personable. Do everything you can to keep him there; first-rate bartender.

Very cool hidden bar at the old port of Mot real! Cute & creative menu- the bartender made me a drink which was not on the menu after asking what I liked- it was absolutely delicious & worth it! Great atmosphere underground with vintage style decor.

Really cool speakeasy craft cocktail bar with very skilled bartenders. It can be a little hard to find, but all you do is ring a doorbell & wait for staff to come & add you to a waitlist. In the meantime there is a pre-bar to the main bar next to the entrance.

I got the Smoking Gun, Joe Peachi, & then an Espresso Martini. & my sister & I both got their long sleeve T-shirts. They're all balanced & decorated well. The menu also has descriptions for each drink. & they have some non-alcoholic mocktails too!

It's got a very cozy vibe despite the juxtaposition of a boiler room/cellar aesthetic, & the bathrooms are pretty cool!

Also, I pulled Narita Brian in Uma Musume during her banner event with one roll, so you know this is a lucky spot! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Montreal & gets a big recommendation for all my Mixology friends.
