Self and boyfriend stumbled upon this super cool bar .... and stumbled out I might add. The atmosphere was great - so chilled. Actually, the owner was at the doorway when we were poking our heads in and sold us on the notation that it was a tavern. And he was right. We loved it.
Staff are uber friendly - our female server was so knowledgeable on Czech beers and liquors ... in fact we thought she must be Czech but she's a lovely local gal. My boyfriend is a Becherovka fan so he downed several. I tried and liked it, way too easy to knock back so I moved onto a recommendation from our server of Czech beer.
We were there midweek - having been unable to return to NY due to Hurricane Sandy. What a bummer to have to stay in Montreal ..... NOT!! Mr Piano Man and Mr Bass Man were strutting their stuff in the background, nice addition. The bar at 9pm was very busy and the noise level was fine. We sat at the back in comfy couches.
Should you pay a visit when in Montreal ..... absolutely! Not to be missed.
