They curate whatever drinks based on your preferences, including sweetness, fruitiness, etc. They ask you about your preferences, and then based on that they have a designated drink ready. It is not in a traditional menu where you order it which makes it all the more fun! The vibes were immaculate and very clean, the service was fairly nice even though they were busy. Drinks run $20 each and we're all amazing!

The Cloakroom Bar came at the recommendation of one of my colleagues as a place to check out in…read moreMontreal. I'm a fan of cocktail bars, and after reading up on this spot I made it my intention to check it out. It just so happened that it was a short walk from my hotel, so we decided to check it out one night before heading to dinner. The Cloakroom is a speakeasy, nestled behind a hidden door in a men's clothing shop. In the line of being a speakeasy, the space is small - there are only 24 seats but since we got there right at opening we were seated right away. The space is dark and intimate, with the bottles of liquor lit up behind the bar providing an attractive focal point. One of the more unique features of the bar is that there's no menu; we told our server the types of liquors we wanted along with the flavor notes and they crafted a cocktail based on our tastes. We ultimately had two rounds; my first drink was vodka-based and fruity, while I went with something gin-based and dryer. Both were very good - there's little fanfare with presentation; the bartenders let the drinks speak for themselves. Service was great; due to the setup, each patron is given extra attention which really highlighted the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at The Cloakroom Bar. This was definitely a unique experience with excellent curated drinks. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Montreal.

The interior was really fancy - so if for nothing else, you'll get a great photo from visiting this place. The bartender was friendly, but we didn't like any of the cocktails he recommended. Maybe we weren't very good at describing our flavor preferences. The service overall was great, and we even got some free shots for willing to switch seats for other customers. After visited few other speakeasies in Montreal and Quebec City, I can conclude that this was our least favorite stop.

I was starting to lose hope in fancy cocktail bars until Atwater Cocktail Club came along and…read moreexceeded all my expectations. Every cocktail is uniquely crafted with interesting ingredients creating delicious flavor profiles you won't find anywhere else. My friend and I arrived at around 9pm and there was already a short line waiting to get in. The good thing about being the first few in line is that you can get under the heat lamps and stay warm for the duration of your wait (a lifesaver in the middle of winter). After around 30 minutes, my friend and I were welcomed into the bar. The vibe is chic but somehow cozy. Probably because the service and the people in the bar are friendly creating a warm and welcoming environment. Our server made great recommendations for drinks. The La Recolte is one of the best and most complex drinks I've had in a while where you can really taste the Asian influences like the pandan and chinese dates. The drink is smooth and perfectly balanced so it's not too sweet, has the alcohol kick, and a slight creaminess from the coconut milk. The butter cookie is a great touch. The Chichera was also really unique and I loved the coffee infused coconut oil. My friend got the It's a Fugazzi and the Purple Rain which were both very pleasant to drink. If you come to any cocktail bar in Montreal, definitely come to Atwater because you won't be disappointed. These cocktails are really one of a kind.

The inside of The Coldroom was dark but cozy. They had bar seating, a few tables, and a booth. I really enjoyed the Rubber Duck theme for the whole menu, and how each drink is inspired by characters in 1970s Montreal. The drink I chose was the Death Mark. I am a huge fan of mint and peppermint. The Death Mark is mint chocolate ice cream in alcohol form. The balance of the alcohol and crème de menthe was chef's kiss. I would absolutely return to have this drink again!

Staff was extremely friendly despite the hectic pre-concert crowd. As a gastro pub the menu was small but intriguing. Half the table had the lobster roll. Didn't get to taste it but they seemed pleased with their selection. I had a burger with fries. Burger was a bit burnt on the outside. They apparently chop their own meat and serve to medium. May have been rushing the orders a bit as it was a packed house. Good fries. There is a happy hour special on oysters that I look forward to trying on a future visit. We had a few cocktails. Not my favorite old fashion, a single block of ice works best and a bit too sweet but still good enough to have more than one, ok three. The spicy margarita was nice as well. Prices fair and again the staff and vibe here is great.

The ambiance is comforting and tastefully decorated with different elements of Filipino culture. It's also very clean and the service is excellent. The waitress asked if it was our first time at Junior and explained the menu. The bistek onglet was a 5 out of 5! It's not like the traditional dish but I love how they added their own flavors and creativity, such as the chimichurri and a bit of sourness to the sauce. The beef just melts in your mouth! They added uniqueness to each dish on their menu and it works in their favor. Overall, if you're looking for delicious, elegant Filipino food, this is the place for you. Highly recommend!
