Best Original Places To Have A Drink In Montreal Near Me

Franck Cellier: Cozy little speak easy.No menu, all drinks are made function of your taste.Service is excellent, waiters are extremely friendly.Quite on the high end pricewise, but worth it from time to time.The custom made cocktail makes you feel special which is really appreciated.

Richard Martz: and I was blown away. Beautiful, sophisticated design, but still feels intimate and low key. Staff were fun and friendly; drinks were fresh, interesting/unique and stiff.Loved the vibe overall and definitely worth making a detour for - it's a great spot for a date, to hang with friends, or to entertain business colleagues/clients.They've completely upped their game even further and cemented its status as one of the best cocktail bars in the city.

Martin Berger: . They aren't patient, cut off customers mid-sentance when totally unnecessary, and do not track the table throughout the meal.3. Ambiance... WOW! This building is an absolute gem and it pains me that the food and service don't do it justice.

Michel Condoroussis: A great place to grab a drink, they have a nice selection of cocktails. I had a Fuego Fresco which was spicy and really good, followed by the Margarita Lime Kafir which was also great. You can pair that with some snacks or even a full meal as they do have a full restaurant. The food was good, the fries were excellent and the Karaage chicken served in little bite sized balls was very good, although I thought the sauce was a little too sweet. The service is fast and friendly and you can actually hear yourselves speak, which is a major plus compared to many other bars. It got a little louder as the time passed but still quite good.

Stephen Inniss: A tiny bar located right next to The Coldroom & across from Bar Bisou Bisou, El Pequeño bar stands out from its sister bars. Like it's name, its very small, seats less than 10 people and little standing room. But rather than detracting, it adds to the intimacy of the bar and a close knit vibe. The cocktails are all Cuban twists on rum based classics like the daiquiri and Pina Colada. I thoroughly enjoyed the drinks!

R Ratna: hospitality We had an amazing time . Thanks to all the staff for making our evening memorable. Theo made me a drink call “ Negronen” was amazing.Overall perfect evening, perfect atmosphere!!Thank you everyone for your excellent service!! Appreciate a lot!!

Mike Matjasec: Great place and prices.

Raphaël Sylvestre Bouchard: Last night was a catalyst for a deep rethinking of my lifestyle over the past year. Lying on my bed, facing the wall and kept awake by my late coffee, the formerly exhilarating feeling of discovering delicious places to eat was replaced by a feeling of emptiness, of futility.Was Bar Pamplemousse so terrible and the source of this disillusionment? No, it’s quite the opposite! Everything was pleasant, starting with the sublime jerk half-chicken with its delicious smoky taste, through the warm and welcoming character of the bar, to the excellent choice of beers on tap at reasonable prices. In addition, I was in the presence of a friend who was precious to me and always excellent company.However, I did not seem to be able to take full advantage of it and this perception caused me deep distress. Could it be because I go there so often that the experience loses its exceptionality? Could it be because I should instead indulge in other, more “enriching” activities such as learning to cook or even dance? The answer to these questions remains unclear, but I am following a different line of thought.What if the discomfort simply came from ungrateful behavior? Being unable to feel grateful for all the blessings I receive daily. Being incapable of realizing how lucky I am to be in Montreal and to have access to such culinary richness which has nothing to envy of the tables of the kings of Antiquity... By dint of living in the abundance, even abundance is no longer enough.Gratitude, often compared to a muscle, requires a break from the hectic pace of life to exercise. You have to join your palms under your chin, take a deep breath and say “thank you”. Not an easy task for someone constantly looking for “productive” activities and allowing themselves few moments of respite.So, thank you to Bar Pamplemousse and the entire team for the hospitality and the delicious meal. I also appreciated the layout of the space and the reasonable level of the music which allowed discussion without raising my voice too much even at full occupancy. That said, three small churros for $13 seemed a bit parsimonious to me. Why not two more?Vegetarian options: Yes, but they are quite limitedParking: We went quite far to find a free one.Kid-friendliness: No... It's a drinking establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: We can say, we “just” have to take one step.

Sara F: Great cocktails and food

Anna Valdes: Maude is the best

josie: this was the best amarato sour i’ve ever had. amazing drinks, great vibes, good music. everyone who came loved it. 5/5

Leora Lc: Rad Bar, their bathroom is an expierence lmao.They have a cool drink selection and the staff was Rad too.

Laurent Grenier-Labrecque: Chill place

R: I like the layout & vibe of this bar, however when we went last night the music was too loud, peaking and distorted. It was insufferable, we left 10mns after walking in. I’m still leaving 4 stars because it is a top tier bar besides from that. Don’t let the sound get to the red lines DJs! It’s not pleasant and speaks on your professionalism

Arouna Laleye: Clean and welcoming

Jillian: Super cute and not too loud. Has very attentive and nice staff. Drinks were incredible and the staff explain how to best experience some of the ones that were more special. There are different levels of cocktails - some more classic and some more out there. It’s open pretty later and they serve snacks from the restaurant upstairs if you want a bite.

Ian Benson: , you go underground for a really intimate setting, with great music and atmosphere. Relaxed, efficient table service, with an evocative menu of cocktails
