Absolute gem of a place. Sat at the bar on the comfy stools. Cocktails are spot on. 70s tiki vibes. Love the “snacks” from one of the oldest running Chinese food establishments in Montreal. One word. Dumplings. Make sure you squeeze the spicy pineapple sauce all over the plump dumps. Service ruled. TRES BIEN! Last photo is the wallpaper in the bathroom which topped my experience.

Love this spot, and every time I’m back home in Montréal it’s on my go to list. The drinks are great, the vibes are incredible, and the bartenders that I’ve had (Charles, Chris, and Evan) are just some of the nicest most welcoming people I’ve met. Really excellent place and the staff and service are top tier. Highly recommended for a date night or to introduce a small group of people to the highlights of Montréal.

I've always loved this place for its amazing music and drinks. However our experience was tarnished by the fact that we were charged more than what the menu said. Since it's COVID, only the online menu is available. We ordered the $6 dumplings (shown on their official website menu), but when we checked the receipt, we were sneakily charged $9 (that's a full 50% more than the original price). We realized the extra surcharge after we had already paid, and we told the server. Not only did we not get a refund for it, the server didn't seem to care and just said that they'll update the online menu. This bar won't be getting my money again anytime soon.

The cocktails were really good and had a great presentation. Good DJ.

I enjoyed some fantastic cocktails here a few months ago. After settling up, I asked the bartender how he makes his horchata. He took the time to walk me through the process, and I just referenced his notes again as I made another batch. I highly recommend this spot for the awesome cocktails and amazing service.

Great ambiance, the DJ was great his music fits the vibe of the bar. Drinks were good, service was a bit slow but other than that, fully satisfied.

Good vibes, good drinks but on the sweeter side. Would recommend!

I have been to this bar a few times now and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a cocktail bar and the drinks are so yummy! With covid restrictions, this place feels like a little piece of normal. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Tikki Bar style cocktails. The staff is wonderful! There is music from a DJ, and if you like cocktails, this is the place to go. The location may seem a bit scary at first, but it is really safe. They have rows and rows of pineapples and coconuts to prepare cocktails in them, and as you can see from the picture, an incredible variety of drinks. The music is very nice. Not a place to hold conversations but rather to enjoy quietly with friends. I would definitely return!

loved it!! so much fun. yummy drinks
