    To be honest, I thought 2nd time would be the charm, but we walked away feeling meh about the…read morecocktails we just had, similar to the feeling I had when I first visited this speakeasy in Dec. 2019. 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.

    As far as hipster spots go I actually really like this one…read more They've split the 2 sections now, now one side is the restaurant and the other half is the bar, you can still order food at the bar but they've split the sections into two distinct areas now that only staff can pass between the black curtain separating. It's a shame because I preferred drinking on the now-resto side. Service is decent, nothing spectacular, again I found service on the now-resto side previously better than the service we received at the bar side. Again it's a shame cuz the bartenders on the now-resto side were fkin awesome: tailored drinks and personal caring customer service. Whereas the bar side was just typical 'here's your drink you ordered' nothing more nothing less. What I do really like about this place is I tend to like almost every single cocktail I order here. They change the list regularly so that's fun too 'cuz always new options to choose from. It is pricey and unfortunately the alcohol content is maybe not as strong as one might like for that price point. However, it does allow to try many many drinks in one sitting without becoming a total drunken a-hole so not necessarily a bad thing. Here's a list of all the drinks I've tried here so far and I've adored almost every one of them and would definitely order again: - Frank sinatra - Trinidad sour - Paper plane - "Gina And Cucumber" shooters - Bloody Caesar: steak spice rim for this one is awesome - Nina Simmone - Pinky Swear: meh good hit the spot, but probably the most disappointing of all drinkerie drinks ive had - Redwine: Pepperwood Grove Cab Sauv 12$ good but not worth inflated price for a glass - Cidre Dublin's Pub: delicious!!! My favorite cidre ever so far. - Martini Lychee: hit the spot not their forte but I was craving one and it did the trick. It's not a place I choose first, but I like comin here every few months to enjoy a few cocktails in a chill vibe and hope they don't close anytime soon.

There are many…read moreterrasses in Montreal that could have easily accommodated our needs, but I saw the courtyard/garden at the Burgundy Lion which looked like a great space, plus they are dog friendly. I made a dinner reservation and made a note that we would like to sit in the courtyard/garden and that we would be bringing a dog. When we arrived, we were told we could not sit in the courtyard/garden, since we would have to enter the restaurant to access the courtyard/garden, and that dogs are not allowed inside. This was not a big deal, but I wish they could have let me know in advance. The restaurant had a terrasse outside which was dog friendly, and where we were directed to sit instead. Overall, service was good. One of the employees stopped by a few times to offer my dog water, which was very sweet of him. I expected the food at the Burgundy Lion to be mediocre, we didn't particularly come for the food, but for the fact that they are dog friendly. I had a salad, but this was such a well- made salad, and the portions were huge. I enjoyed it immensely. My husband also enjoyed his fish and chips. We split a bottle of Nebbiolo which tasted okay.

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!

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.

    Noooo let's not do this again…read more In talkin to my friend about how much me n Pat loved Monkees, Alberto seemed determined to show me another awesome dive bar. This is not the case. If we were to come here for Pub Golf* then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. But otherwise, unless u wana slit ur wrists.. or gamble all ur welfare check away until u wana slit ur wrists: maybe skip this place. *Pub Golf is a game created by my friends which fking kicks a$$, contact me for more details if interested. Waitress/ barmaid was friendly and sweet enuf but let's just agree this place is depressing as sh*t on the whole. 3 bars, 2 of which empty. I would assume: at all times, since we came on a Friday at 8pm. My buddy explained: here in Mtl you can legally have 5 poker/lottery machines for each bar (and I mean the actual bar with booze and stools not the building itself). So you guessed it: 15 poker machines here despite 2 bars in zero service. Ahhh logistics. Fk u Sergakis u know what ur doin sux ballz and I wish u had a bigger philanthropic bone than wallet (and I say that having worked for you many, many times so seriously, fk u.) Now to add to the depression: we arrived on Welfare Check day. (For my American friends thats Canada's way of making sure people don't starve to death in the freezing cold). Oh boy. Out of the 15 lotto machines...14 were occupied. I work in mental health, I'm pretty good at sizing people up without talking to them...I would be willing to bet my life that out of those 14, 11 or 12 MINIMUM were gambling away their welfare checks. My tax money. Your tax money. That we worked fkin hard for, btw. 2 regulars approached me during my visit (both of which definite Welfare recipients) and I interacted as if they were old time friends, but their stories left me sad and weary. I will spare you the details, but again working in mental health I had to resist all urges to pull the nursing card. I needed to get out asap, insisted my friend chug his beer 'cuz there was no way I was having another drink in this depressing hole. Not a fun dive bar by any means. Ghetto and ugly. Definitely avoid. Though the service was nice and the regulars friendly, it was just a sad state of affairs I don't ever want to experience again. Seriously Sergakis: with all the money u have, don't you wana do some good in this city for once instead of being part of this sh*t?! Naïve stupid Kandi. He's been like this since I was 18 and now I'm 35. Yahhh I bet a change is just around the corner..

    Dive bar. Cash only. Poker machines are the 'draw' and pay…read morethe bills. It's what you expect... Inexpensive BIG beers ($5 before 7pm). Middle aged bartenders, older crowd. Could use a pool table and/or jukebox.
