You want to be brought in and it's dark and moody with the BEST craft cocktail list. The theme is duck - which is so fun. Our bartender was OUTSTANDING. He gave not only the best drink recommendations, but also gave us a hand written list of his favorite spots in MTL (drinks, dining, activities, etc). I wish we would've gotten his name because I cannot praise him enough!

The Coldroom is a fantastic bar and definitely worth visiting. We actually ended up going twice…read moreduring our trip, and each visit was a little different. The first time, the music was extremely loud, and it seemed like they were short-staffed. The bar was completely packed, and there was only one bartender making drinks, so the wait was a bit longer than expected. We decided to give it another try, and I'm so glad we did. The second visit was amazing! The bartender working that night was incredible--she clearly knows her craft and made our drinks quickly without sacrificing quality. Every cocktail was delicious, and the overall experience was much more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Coldroom. My only suggestion would be that, with a space that busy, the bar could really benefit from having an additional bartender during peak hours. It would help keep wait times down and make an already great experience even better.

Upon arriving there, for a nice beer on the terasse (isn't that what all should do on a warm, sunny…read moreafternoon?), I kept in my a previous not-so-great experience that occured in the spring at the location. Upon arriving, the waitress was quick to welcome us and to offer (yes, offer. I do believe the word's definition got altered in the restaurant business) drinks and ordering. We ordered, my guests going for burgers and fries and I am going for appetizers. Well, let me say, the experience was great. The food was good, the beers cold and the waitress was fast and reliable, while being discrete. A huge improvement from this spring (which I didn't bother rating). A nice pub to go.

It's a fun place to dine, and I'm not just saying that because we were able to order a pitcher of Aperol spritz (okay, maybe a little). The atmosphere here is just plain fun, and the decor is cool, especially that circular bar in the middle. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The polenta fries were delicious and paired well with the tomato salad. It continued with my Grilled Half Cornouailles Chicken, with chimichurri, and it finished with the Basque Cheesecake. Darling is likely to become a regular favorite on future trips to Montreal.

There's 2 different sections: the food station is outside at the back side outdoors has lots of casse croute options: you get fries, poutine burgers and light snacks I believe it's the same owners of Patate & Persil .. check out my review from them they're super good too. At the bar section: theres famous cocktails sangria, bloody marry and lots of more drinks .. it is quite pricey not going to lie 2 drinks was around 31$ but it was very nice and tasty ... You can also bring your own drinks and food if you like they're just street vendors and don't own the establishment Overall, It's a beautiful place to gather around and totally worth checking it out.

So, I was quite happy when I realized this was literally right across the street from my air bnb. This is the bar my friends and I went to during our undergrad and so when I was recently visiting Montreal with a friend and she wanted to grab an early drink, I knew this is where I was taking her. Personally I like fruity mixed drinks that don't taste like alcohol. My friend is a scotch drinker and goes for stronger drinks. We both were able to find something that made us happy. La Distillerie does mixed drinks like no other. They also do it with a heavy hand so while it may seem pricy to some, you definitely get what you pay for. My friend and I had some beer before arriving and then two drinks each here and both walked out very much not sober. The vibe is chill and a bit nostalgic and the menu options are exceptional. Definitely one of the best bars I have been to!
