Our room was ready at the hotel so after setting up our room we decided we wanted a few drinks before heading out for supper. Pooh found this place and we decided to try it. I'm glad we did. The drinks are cheap, the bartender (Ray) was very sweet. We sat at the bar and had a bottomless basket of hot popcorn, we shared a pitcher of Japanese draft called Kirin Ichiban which was a Pilsner - very smooth and very easy to drink and just 20$. We also had 4 shots each of Jameson - 4 shots for 11$ There are two free pool tables, free wifi and a jukebox Ray is super friendly and if you're looking for recommendations she is quite knowledgeable about the city

That being said, there's a nice side room for groups on the first floor, a stage for shows or random jamming (also open mic nights) the pool table is $1 a game and functional but there's only one cue. There's also an enclosed back terrace. I've only ever stopped in on two occasions so I could say I went to my friends show. Until yesterday I didn't even know there was a second floor. The owner was awesome and let my friends use the stage and instruments to jam at the end of the night. We chilled, played pool, were allowed to connect our own music into the speakers upstairs and it was actually really fun. I wouldn't go when it's full but people, but for some friends catching up and playing pool it was spot effing on.

By far the worst looking bar I've ever set foot in. It looks like someone took two 3 1/2 apartments…read moreand made them have a threesome with a dead hobo. Glory holes and peeping holes in the bathroom, stairs that have alarming cracks, balcony in shambles, etc. Prices are decent though and staff is okay. Last time I went there and I tried playing pool, one of the ceiling lamps fell on the pool table and interrupted my game. Also saw a girl fall down the stairs and after puking on them. Cheap beer though.

I visited on January 24th because they had a birthday promotion going on. A meal free when you make…read morea reservation on their Facebook page. I followed their instructions but they never replied on whether they had written the reservation down. I showed up and asked before ordering if it was ok. The man at the door said it was ok and I was seated and served by a different man. I ordered the chicken fingers with a side of poutine and an ice tea. Once I was done I let my new server know I should be getting the meal free but would pay for any extra like the poutine and the ice tea because those probably weren't included. He said he had no idea what I was talking about and that I should've waited to be invited before coming in for my birthday meal. I showed him the conversation and he said that because they didn't answer I shouldn't have shown up. His hands were tied and he couldn't anything about the promotion. He even laughed as I was explaining it. I'm not sure what he thought was funny but he informed me that they don't do the free meal on your birthday if you're alone. Thanks for shaming me there. I'm allowed to get lunch by myself. No need to make me feel awful. While paying I at least got to use my 20% card. He laughed at that too. Bro, I'm a university student. I'm pretty sure that's your target clientele seeing as your menu is 5$. So maybe don't laugh. He even punched it in wrong because 20% of 9.96 is $2 off not $1. Truly awful management. And the server was the same I had last time. He's polite in a brash way. Makes you feel like he's only doing it because it's his job. Not because he's actually a nice person. It's not like this is the only place with 5$ meals anyways. You're better off elsewhere. Food like theirs is sub par compared to everything Montreal has to offer.

There is a pool table if great live music isn't your thing and you can also admire all the art pieces on the wall. Really glad I went there.

The attention to detail is truly cristalizing. We couldnt help but stare and evrything for the first 15 minutes upon entering. Pointing and every pop culture reference we recognized (especially the Simpsons stuff). This is the type of place to return to over and over. Maybe next time we'll summon the courage to actually sing instead of taking the directive painted on the wall to seriously.

I really like this bar, but there is something missing to it that will allow me to share four star…read morereview. Discovered last year Cobra has now turned into an usual spot for a drink after hanging in Little Italy. I'm stubborn and continue to order Bloody Caesars although they recently have brought a major disappointment. The cocktail is consistent, but when I had it for the first time last year there was a beef jerky in it. This summer for whatever reason the jerky is gone from the cocktail, it is still supposed to be there according to the menu, but nowhere to be found in my drink. This is why a star is removed, sorry, I'm picky about the Caesars. Cobra is definitely kind of hip place to be looking at the crowd gathering there on Friday night. I really enjoy the 80s memorabilia, the movies shown on an old TV using VHS system, the list of drinks has been now transferred into a VHS boxes, funny, but difficult to read. The music choices have been always awesome. The service may be spotty. Even on an evening when sitting on the little patio and there were only few customers we had to wave persistently to get another drink or just the check. Drink wise Cobra delivers, they will surprise you with local beers that you would need to search hard for in Montreal as the the amazing Milkshake IPA of Jukebox or the old fashioned Laurentide of Molsson. Conclusion I would continue coming here, but please bring the jerky back in my Bloody Cobra if you want another star.
