You make a separate reservation and then enter through a black door and green curtain. Service is phenomenal. The bartenders and weight staff, as well as manager, all greet and serve you. They are extremely knowledgeable, and I love their forward thinking. They only use local ingredients for their drinks. If it doesn't grow in Canada or Quebec, they do not use it. So they do not use things like citrus. Instead, they come up with other ways to bring the flavor into their cocktails and food. And definitely try some food! We went for the drinks, but the food blew our minds. We got some mixed tapa plates and loved it all- especially the homemade beef jerky. The back patio is so nice during the summer. And the inside is a definite vibe. Can't wait to go back!

That means, no basic ingredients like citrus are used. That's basically telling the bartender they cannot make 99% of cocktails in mind and have to take risks to make something tasty happen. That concept in itself is a recipe to create things that will be genuinely and authentically Canadian. In other words, experimentation at its finest. Opened in 2024 by the team behind Quebec City's only 2 Michelin starred restaurant, Taniere, this is now the spot to be for those in the know. So, how is trial and error going of crafting something genuinely Canadian? Cocktails are superb on both taste and presentation. The food is remarkably plated with extremely high quality ingredients. Everything tastes excellent. If that's not enough, the entire interior looks like a very private club and the team of servers and bartenders is superb and welcoming.

This place was recommended to me by a maitre de' when I inquired about a calm relaxed bar to visit on Grande Alle. He didn't steer me wrong. On the Sunday night I visited, I was fortunate enough to catch the one man guitar act. I loved it. And I loved the female bartender behind the bar serving drinks. She was without a doubt the most beautiful girl my eyes have ever laid upon. And that observation was made long before I ordered my first beer.

I like how they have the cocktail backstory and describe the flavors. The reason for three stars is really the service... Our server took forever to come take our order, then came back 7-8 minutes later and asked us what we ordered, which means it didn't even go into the system yet. Then we see others who arrived after us who were given waters, and bar snacks of chips and mixed snacks... We had to ask for those, and he only brought the mixed snacks, not chips. We ordered the hummus, but he never brought it, and by that time we were over it so we didn't bring it up.

Low ceilings with some U$D on a door way, tiny rooms that add to the warm atmosphere. They surprisingly have narrow and deep subterranean levels ( not DR ). On warmer and not rainy days, a few tables are on a made do sidewalk patio. OA maybe the oldest pub in QC. ++. Food is pub fare. OA is known for their French Onion Soup and that's what I came for. They do serve draft beers. I was happy to find OA serving FOS as many places in the uptown didn't serve it yet ( I was told it's too warm .... Ummm it's 50-65F and rainy! ). The FOS was hot, cheesy and flavorful! It wasn't too salty and light on onions. I would've liked a bit more onions but very much enjoyed it! +. Price seemed fair enough for this hot and flavorful FOS on this cold rainy day. ++. Service was prompt, friendly and cheerful! =. Parking is challenging in this old cobble stone city.

The perfect place to stop when the skies suddenly open up and soak you as you are walking down! Parking: ummmm.. why would you drive here? Place: It's a pub. Obviously havent been updated in a while but the that's what all the good pubs are like :) There are 2 sections I sat in the back part, the front was filled with customers who had been sitting out under those umbrellas before the rain came . Lots of different sized tables. Ooh they have a shelf full of board games. Food: I don't drink but they have lots of craft beers and the couple next to me loved the amount they had on tap. When I first walked in the waitress walked by with what looked like a giant lasagna with salad and I thought oh I want that. When I looked at the menu I realized they don't have lasagna and I figured it must be the croques Monsieur. So that is what I ordered and that is exactly what came. It was very generous and full of cheese which was toasted golden brown it was really good. The salad was good too really fresh the dressing was good. I'm glad I chose it. Staff was nice. They spoke both French and English depending on what you were more comfortable with. I stumbled through French because I'm in Quebec I should speak French. It was a really casual vibe it was like a nice little oasis I had been walking a lot that day and it was just relaxing and chill. Would totally go again. I really like the food.
