    We only had drinks at this establishment so I do want to be candid about that. However, the drinks were fantastic. The service and the ambiance of the place was also fantastic! However, the price was crazy expensive for just drinks! I wouldn't do it again due to price, but I enjoyed the experience. These drink prices were the highest we paid in Montreal ! And we visited places with better prices and just as amazing drinks.

    The Scarlet Vetter says....just love love love this chic gorgeous venue with a super smooth vibe. Great drink menu with true mixologists married to and clearly in love with their craft. They make their own syrups and the drink menu is quite unique. Nordstrom level service with a smile. Intensity for the work is very clear. You are in great hands with these folks. A beautiful lounge with great beat music that is not too loud and not too soft. Perfect! A nice exclusive feel to the seating arrangements. Great little venues throughout the bar...nooks and crannies!!! I'm super happy we stopped by for a cocktail. The Manager was engaging and welcoming as well. It is elevated drinks, as entertainment. My first drink came with a beautiful edible flower. My second came with fresh speared rasberries. Yum. This is a must visit when in Montreal!

    My sister wanted to check out Terrasse Nacarat for some cocktails and views. It's located on the third floor (take the elevator) of the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth hotel. Make sure not to confuse this with Nacarat Bar (located in the lobby). We came on a Sunday evening (with 7:00pm reservations). The terrasse is spacious with a mix of sofa cushion seating and high chair tables. Service was okay but be prepared to flag down your waiter if you want more drinks. - Madame violette ($18.00) - Pink sangria ($18.00) - Hemingway special ($18.00) - basically a margarita on the rocks. - Fairmont old fashioned ($18.00) - Spicy tuna tartare ($38.00) - have to mention there was 6 tortilla chips to go with the tartare. Taste was standard fare. Probably the priciest tartare I've ever had and the portion was meagre. Complete rip off. - Mozzarella di bufala ($28.00) - a grand total of four tiny mozzarella balls. Again, expensive. - Grilled octopus ($36.00) - octopus had a slightly charred note. Roughly 6 small pieces. - Marinated grilled shrimp ($26.00) - decent flavour but you only get 7 pieces. - Chips ($7.00) - a bowl of Miss Vickies salt & vinegar chips. The smallest portions of food to go with expensive cocktails. 2.5 stars.

    Came for a rooftop vibe and al thought it wasn't as a rooftop than I am used to (this was on the 5th ish floor), the vibes were still giving. My friends and I got drinks and it's a cocktail bar, so if something isn't on the menu they said they would make it for us. Our server explained the menu and gave us recommendations, and even made my friend a passion fruit mojito even tho it wasn't on the menu. This focaccia bread though omg, the bread was phenomenal. I personally didn't enjoy the hummus, but my friend really did. I'm not a big feta person but the bread alone was already amazing and rich. Definitely would come back as they view also shows the big circle in the background for photos!

    On a recent visit to Montreal, my husband and I stayed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel. The Nacarat Bar is on the ground floor of the hotel. On a Thursday night, the place was crowded. It could be that many of the business people who were attending seminars at the hotel had come to unwind. Considering that the bar served up drinks and charcuterie-- but no hot food--I found the turnout impressive. I wanted a hot meal. We would wind up grabbing a late dinner at the hotel restaurant next door, but not before I tried one of the bar's heavily promoted Barbie cocktails. I picked Pink Dreams, a delicious martini concoction consisting of vodka, raspberry syrup, coconut and egg white. What perfected the drink was the fact that "Barbie" was cleverly stenciled onto the drink. The hotel likes to promote the talents of its bartenders/ mixologists with in-house videos, which is why I actually recognized some of them. They did a great job. "Barbie" is no longer playing in theaters and can now be streamed at home so I'm not sure if the martini is still available, but I'm sure the mixologists at Nacarat can whip up plenty of other delicious cocktails.

    This rooftop terrace restaurant is amazing! We went for drinks and a quick appetizer before heading out to dinner. This place is pricey but the service is excellent and they have a variety of cocktails!

    After supper drinks at the very complete and lively @nacaratmtl are just what you'd expect from the luxurious @fairmontqueene. Quick (Very Quick) and expert bartending, a stimulating atmosphere and a large, large cocktail menu. We even had a delicious little dessert

    1.5 is a better number, but cannot be done here. A fantastic place to watch drinks be made with the most supreme attention to detail. Small flowers are delicately placed, colourful swirls of art placed at the top of the impending hangover. Takes about 15 minutes a drink, so pack your patience. The food is good, limited but good. You come here for the drinks and general pretension you'd hope for in a good cocktail bar, not the food. Eye contact with the male staff seemed impossible unless you were a group of women. You'd be hard pressed to over drink here, as the time between drinks helps sobriety stay close. Woman server also, could care less about couples. I watched her offer EVERYONE seated at the bar some type of cupcake, except the two couples. Brilliant strategy, avoid comping the people who seem to populate your bar the most. Although, here at what is basically a hotel bar, if you don't speak the language you don't fit in. Polite staff eventually will talk to you, and they know their stuff and can be helpful if you've got time on your hands. All in all, good selection of liquors, wines, whiskeys and specialty drinks. If only you could order one...

    This was on my to-try list. We were gonna go check it out before dinner but I realized they have a new terrace so we said we'll check that out instead, this time, as it was a beautiful day out. The terrace itself is nice, felt more narrow than it really is because of the tall building. The staff is courteous and attentive despite the crowd. The drinks were great! The menu is limited due to the fact that it's the extension of the bar so I will definitely be coming back to the bar itself :)

    I was thinking of visiting the new version of the Fairmont for days when I randomly ended up going there with friends on a Thursday evening. I had heard about their new bar Nacarat and wanted to give it a try. Upon entering the hotel, we had a moment of hesitation and thought that it was located in the Roselys, but the hostess was kind enough to tell us where it was. From the entrance, you can see the refinement in the decor, sober but sophisticated, modern but classy. We were seated near the windows. It was not crowded (mostly people in suits). The music was neither too low nor too high (very good selection by the way). We were greeted with a small non-alcoholic drink. Having already eaten, we ordered cocktails, I went with the waiter's suggestion and had the 57 Colada, made with Fernet Branca, Rum, Coconut Cream and Pineapple ($16): In other words, a revamped pina colada... I enjoyed the drink, the service and I had a great time. I highly recommend this place!

    After dinner on a Saturday night, a few of my girlfriends and I decided to grab a drink at this highly rated bar located in the lobby of the Queen Elizabeth hotel. The venue itself was very modern, nicely decorated with touches of bright orange and white leather seating against a long black rectangular bar. We grabbed a seat, and were presented with the cocktail menu; classic mixes as well as some original drinks, all over 16$. I ordered an old fashion; the cocktail was perfect! I especially enjoy that my drink came in a rock glass (just like it should) with no bells and whistles. The perfectly squared and smooth ice cube totally added class too. The vibe of the place was a little blah and confusing. There was AC/DC playing in the background, a mixed group of mostly tourists, so for a Saturday night, maybe this place isn't exactly the place to hit. So overall, maybe I'd give it another try for a weeknight apéro but the prices and vibe won't have me going back soon even though the drinks were great.

    We had a party at this hotel and it was this Bar that was most elegant. They have Rosies, but this is more nightlife versus restaurant.

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.
