    Hurricane
    Orsy F.

    Yesterday night we visited the place with a little group. I liked the way how people treat the customers. In 2 minutes we had table, we got our drinks fast. I recommend to try the small jar first, if you don't like the taste the big one can be too much. After all my favourite was the hurricane. If you like a little sour, refreshing cocktail you should take this. The bartender is amazing. I loved to watch how he's working. The atmosphere is pretty cool. I really liked to listen these old songs, I felt myself young again. ^^, almost dancing... :D The guy who was at the entrance usually came around and asked how we are, checked the tables. Thanks for this great night. From me 5*! Highly recommend place. (Credit card and cash only, ATM inside)

    Moved into the area which.. Well let's just say a few of my neighbours have nationalist posters in their windows. Thankfully this place was very welcoming and anglo friendly! Drinks were delicious and STRONG! Around $10 per drink if you get a small, and honestly two is MORE THAN enough. We had already eaten dinner so we didn't try any of the food available but it looked tasty and affordable. We'll def be back.

    Awesome and friendly staff at D2! I just love this laid back bar. Seems like whether you're feeling for a relaxing weeknight drink or a night out drinking, this place is that versatile bar that will be fun no matter what. The cocktails are delicious and creative. The devil is in the details. For starters, the beautifully designed and personalized menu will get you wanting to try every single drink. All fruit purées and most syrups and seasonings are made in house. A lot of love and respect for the craft goes into making the drinks that are served here. I often ask the bartenders to make me creations that aren't on the menu and they really take the time to analyze what I like and create something delicious every time. I highly recommend this place :)

    Madmen cocktail
    Marisa Z.

    After walking along ave Mont-Royal and doing a lot of souvenir shopping my Hubs and I were in desperate need of a frosty libation. As if Bacchus was winking down upon us La Distillerie showed up at the exact moment we decided to take a break. The front of the bar opens to the street, in case you need a peak inside before settling into one of the booths or at the bar. The cocktail list features many intriguing craft cocktails. I was drawn to the mad men whiskey based cocktail. Think a more detailed version of an old fashion. We had a few drinks here and managed to actually have a conversation, as this bar was more quiet than most others in the area. The decor is dark wood, so inviting after walking for hours under the blistering sun. The booths looked small but comfortable, and probably helped keep the conversations low, you don't really need to scream if your party is within whisper distance. I can see this bar being popular with the singles that like to mingle. The lights are low, the tables small, all key ingredients for romance. The music, whether chosen by the staff or a satellite station was kick ass, lots of great local music mixed with the now popular local bands. I.e. Arcade Fire, Wolf Mother, etc. If I lived in MTL I would make this a frequent stop for after dinner drinks with coworkers. Especially in the winter, when a good drink can mean the difference between being comfortably cold and just plain freexing your ass off.

    Large Bloody Cesar
    Grace M.

    Loved the atmosphere at this bar! And I definitely had the BIGGEST Bloody Cesar of my life. And the only reason I got a Bloody Cesar because I thought that's what Canadians drank! (I'm from California) The service was pretty slow, but the bar was packed. I definitely enjoyed it and if I'm ever there again, I will get another large mason jar drink, but probably not a Bloody Cesar. It was beautifully garnished though! Yummy pickles!

    I was super sad that there was a line Saturday night but I got to try this place for a Sunday happy hour and the drinks tastes as good as they looked! This bar seems very fun with a group of friends on the weekend night but also a very nice date spot during the day. I loved the design of the menu and the rating of alcohol content. We both opted to get two drinks from the "refreshing" section of the menu. I ordered a mojito and my boyfriend ordered a special seasonal drink called the "Cucumber Rickey" which had gin and cucumber obviously. Both were so fresh and perfect for the heat. I wish I could've tried more cocktails.

    Goldfish and drinks
    Ariana A.

    My mom and I stopped in here on our recent trip to Montreal. We were there around 8pm, and the place was already fairly busy, but the staff sat us quickly. I had of course seen pictures of the cool drinks and must admit that part of the reason I wanted to go was obtain my own Instagram shot. The goldfish and board games were also a draw! I tried the Le Patriote and loved the fun combination of flavors. We were slightly disappointed to find out that the goldfish were only free earlier in the day, but overall I definitely recommend La Distillerie if you're looking for a fun place to grab drinks in Montreal.

    Jam jar perfection
    Laura H.

    Best drinks in montreal. I have dreams of this place. PLUS they give you free goldfish, what more could you ask for? When I went in, I was having difficulty deciding between two drinks, the bartender asked me what aspects of each drink I liked, and made me my own personalized drink based on what I told him!! He was so knowledgable and friendly. It is more expensive than most other montreal bars but it's worth it for the experience.

    Excellent food! I tried so much as you can see and loved it all! Don't be afraid to get adventurous…read moreon the menu! Everything is good! The cocktails were exceptional as well! Waiting staff for quick and pleasant

    Very cool vibe and aesthetic. We loved hanging out in this swanky environment for a quick bite…read more The service was kind of slow even though there were only 2 tables - ours and one other. That was annoying because we had to wait a long time to order for no reason. The menu is online and their website doesn't have an English option. Very inconvenient and not tourist friendly. Minus one star for an all around poor experience ordering. The host/waiter was drying glasses at the bar and kept blowing into them to get water droplets out so minus one star for that. So gross. The food came out separately even though we ordered at the same time and made it clear one dish was for one of us and one was for the other. That meant that one of us was eating while the other waited because the food was going to get cold. Minus another star for splitting the order by a full 10 minutes. This place has a lot of potential. The flavor of the nigiri was great, but the portion size was amuse-bouche and not tapas. To charge $15 for 1/2 oz of beef and 5 cents worth do rice is highway robbery. The shishito peppers were great, all 4 of them. Most of the dish is peas which are used as filler. Again, charging $15 for about $2 worth of ingredients is ridiculous ESPECIALLY since the flavor of that dish wasn't anything spectacular. If you want less expensive shishito peppers with better flavor AND a great view, head over to Terasse Nelligan. Bottom line, I wanted to love this place when I walked in, but left underwhelmed and feeling ripped off having spent $40 for two tapas plates.

    My hotel was nearby and I kept seeing people gathered outside or walking in this place. Around 4:30…read moreone evening it was quiet, so I walked in to check out the food menu. You walk in and there's a clothing store on one side and black curtains straight ahead. I just stood there confused for a second until someone suddenly appeared and escorted me through the curtains, down a long dark hallway, and into this intimate, dimly lit bar. Turns out, I had accidentally stumbled into a speakeasy. The space is tiny--maybe 6-8 seats at the bar and a long banquet along the wall for 10-12 more people. No menus either. They ask what you like and don't like, then craft a cocktail specifically for you. The pours are generous and the bar is stocked with top-shelf liquor. About a drink and a half in, I realized I needed actual food immediately and had to leave. The staff was friendly, personable, and chatty, and because the space is so intimate, you naturally end up talking with the people around you. Definitely more of a solo or date-night spot than a group hang. Such a cool, unexpected experience.

    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.
