“ Tucked away in a typical plateau neighborhood is one of my favourite bars in Montreal. The selection of beer is great and the food has gotten a lot better recently, but sometimes the service can be neglectful. ”
“ Nice little spot with a cool vibe in the evening. Friendly staff, and funky decor. Nice spot to go have a pint and eat. The prices are decent! ”
“ The ambience and service is really nice, the food options are limited but tasty. Cocktails made well too. It gets quite busy at least when I was there on public holiday and dinner time. I tried an espresso martini and it was yummy for coffee lovers. ”
“ First time in Canada from NY. My girlfriend went ice skating and I went here since it was not far from my hotel. I had a few beers and the pulled pork sliders. They were super tasty and flavorful. There was something special about the flavor and I recommend giving these a shot. I truly loved the vibe in here as well. The bartender Pat was super friendly, welcoming and attentive. I came in a stranger/tourist and left feeling like a local. Had a fantastic conversation with a local sitting next to me at the bar. Check this spot out for pretty much good vibes across the board. ”
“ This is my first visit here. Early summer travel from Ottawa. At first glance at the menu I did not see the typical, appetizer, salad, soup, entree dinner menu selection one would normally expect. At first I was, ok, so I ordered the dumplings, wings and ribs to share with my wife. Catherine was on the ball for service. The food was amazing, I shared some food with my 4 friends at the table because I wanted to them to try it. The wings were served with an arugula noodle salad and it was delicious, ribs with a creamy double baked potato and the dumplings with 2 dipping sauces and charred just right on the edges. The whole table was impressed with all of their meals. We want to make a shout out to Sam and Josh who were the cooks working tonight's shift. Highly recommend this place, I suspect you will have to wait in like to get in here when it is busy. We'll worth it. Chris ”
“ Im definitvely saving up this place. Cozy and comfortable place and great service. I tried the orange wine . Something different with a fruity taste. ... ”
“ Hands down my favourite bar in the plateau. I haven’t eaten much of their food but what I’ve had has been delicious! I love the vibe in here. I will always suggest this bar. It’s my plan A and my plan B. It can get pretty busy towards the weekend, but if you’re willing to wait a few you can usually get a table. The staff here are very good with that. ”
