District 961 has been a go-to place for a night with shishas and good drinks…read more I've been there three times and have had three different experiences. The first time I was there was for a friend's birthday. The restaurant isn't very big but it makes it cosy and when it fills up with the music and the lights dimmed, it gives a pretty nice atmosphere. The food we had that night was a pre-chosen mezza for 35$ each. I wasn't VERY happy with the mezza just because it didn't include a lot of variety for the price (for example, there was no tabboulé, the fattoush came in a weird bowl and the manakish (which aren't part of the usual mezza) were made on this weird pita bread that made it hard to eat). It also took a long time to get the meat and fries. Now for the drinks, I have nothing to say. The drinks are good and the alcohol in them is generous. I've tried the red sangria and a mojito (10$ each), both were delicious! The music on that night was fun and although you can't really dance because of the tight space, we found a way to do so and to celebrate! The second and third time I was there, I was with less people and we ordered food from the menu directly. Let me tell you: it made a huge difference!!! The nachos were delicious, as well as the vegetarian sandwich I had the second time. I also reordered every drink I've had the first time since they were so good and even 9 months later, they didn't disappoint. The shisha service is good. They have multiple flavours and there's a designated waiter that goes around tables to check on every shisha. If you're with a small group of people, you can ask for a backgammon board or a deck of cards. They also have TVs to watch the games and other.

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.

However, for a minimum of $23, we expected a more developed and impactful drink. If we compare to establishments of a similar caliber such as The Cold Room and Bisou Bisou in Montréal, Le Bijou in Old Québec City or Jackalope and Apothecary in Ottawa, it did not compete.

Our coats were graciously taken and hung up when we arrived to allow for a more comfortable sitting experience. The restaurant sits below an Inn in the town of Montgomery, a short drive from our Airbnb during a weekend ski trip to Jay Peak. The cocktail menu was unique with several staples and an impressive selection of hot cocktails - perfect for the cold weather. The actual menu was impressive for a place seemingly unequipped to handle such culinary design. In our party of 6, everyone ordered a different protein and not one was chicken or beef. I had the lobster ravioli special- huge chunks of meat topping off a generous serving. My boyfriend was feeling adventurous and got the kangaroo steak, which he's never had before, and raved about it the rest of the weekend. All in all, this has got to be one of the top spots in the Jay Peak area. Make your reservation and make an effort to get here.

We ordered the antelope Swedish balls, French onion soup, and firecracker beef. Most of the food wasn't great - the antelope Swedish meatballs were the best of the 3. The French onion soup had too much thyme and a very watery broth. The firecracker beef was offensive!! It has a warning that it's very spicy (which is true), but it was a really strange dish! I expected an Asian inspired spicy beef dish over rice, but we got a hot sauce drenched rice bowl. Allegedly there was beef in it, but there was really no texture or flavor other than hot sauce! To clarify to the owner comment - we did tell our server we didn't like it, and that it was not due to the spice - it was due to the gross flavor. She simply said "oh I haven't heard that one" and did not offer to take it off the bill or replace it. Now the drinks and desserts were fantastic! We loved our seasonal cocktails, and we ordered two desserts and polished them off. The maple chomeur was drenched in sauce and so good - we actually poured the remaining sauce over our apple warm too! I loved the fresh apples in the tart since there was some texture. Service was also very good from the front desk to our server.

I first found out about Unik about four years ago because they used to hold a jazz jam every other Wednesday night. I don't spend any time in Saint Laurent, so I didn't come by too often, but when I did I always had a good time. Seeing as this bar is pretty close to Vanier College, the jam session crowd mainly comprised music students, so novices were welcome. At some point I heard the jam sessions were over, so I never planned to return, until one day I got some excellent news: Unik is hosting a blues jam every Thursday night! Each week, a different band hosts, then opens the stage to jammers. I've been playing jazz for a few years now, but blues was my first love, so I hustled myself on down, and got me a front row seat. I was not disappointed. I've met some of the biggest and baddest players here, whether playing or spectating it's always a thrill. The jam starts around 10 PM, and usually goes until 1 AM, so come on down, write your name on the sign up sheet, and play some blues!
