A wonderful little jewel tucked away in one of the last 'real' neighbourhoods in Winnipeg…read more Nestled smack into a residential neighbourhood, this super intimate little spot fills quickly because it's so tiny. A few tables, seating at the window and a dozen seats at the bar gives this place its intimate feel. You'll feel like you're part of the bootlegging industry or that you're onto something others aren't aware of when you're here. The drinks are top notch tasty and the small bites and pizza menu goes well with the minimalist turn of the century ideal here. Prices are 'you get what you pay for' so if you're looking for a quick rye and coke, skip this place. This incredible little place is meant to be savoured and enjoyed like a fine cognac.

What a lovely, but very small, hidden gem. The Roost is…read morelocated upstairs from what also looked like a tasty milkshake shop and is quite small. When I called to make a reservation (only taken between 5-7pm) the staff member told me they only have 18 seats so it is very "cozy". There were 3 of us and we ended up sitting at the bar, which was actually just fine for us. Since the Roost is renounced for their house cocktails, it was actually quite entertaining to be able to watch the bartender make the cocktails, see the different glasses and cups they had for each drink and just get to know the staff more. With that said, the Roost's cocktail menu is so fun and there were so many choices, including mocktails, that it was actually difficult to choose drinks. I think in total we tried maybe 5 of them and they were all phenomenal. For food, we ordered a couple of different things. We had the vegan cheese platter - oh yeah, this place has a large vegan/vegetarian friendly menu - some baos or steamed buns and the scallop risotto. I want to say my favorite were actually the steamed buns - nice and fluffy and warm and full of flavor. This place was such a nice little treat during our time in Winnipeg and I would imagine that, if I lived in Winnipeg, it would quickly become one of my go to places for a date or a night out with a friend. Worth the visit if you're in Winnipeg.

The cocktails and the mixology are inspired! The food, on the other hand, is not my idea of great…read more Warm olives were scalding hot, and buried in so much balsamic glaze and blue cheese that there was no point in putting olives in there. The service was slow and sporadic. The vegan burger was tasty but so mushy most of the "burger" ended up on the plate and not part of the sandwich. It's a nice place to go for a drink (good ambiance) but I wouldn't even recommend the tapas from the VERY limited menu. So just to qualify, it's a good place. It's just me that won't be going again.

It's located in a slightly quiet area but despite walking there around 9 and leaving after 11 on a Saturday night there were no issues. No coffee, wines or beers here but there are non-alcoholic drinks and of course loads of cocktails. Most cocktails are $13 and they even offer old school punch bowls (recall the ones our parents owned) except these are smaller ones and need a min of two people for $15 each. Food was just a few cheeseboards - one is a vegan cheese board too. Loved all of the cocktails we tried: - Golden bird - patent 5 vodka, apple jack, golden apple syrup, green strawberry bitters, Malic acid - espresso martini - patent 5 vodka, dogwood neon espresso and Kahlua - Long Island gimlet - patent 5 gin, rum, tequila, house cola cordial, citric acid. This was my favourite - maybe because it has a lot of liquor. Service was laid back yet helpful. Vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Just people having a cocktail and a good time. No pretension. Loved it. I will be back!
