| - Popped in with some friends for a couple of drinks while in Montreal for the weekend. Almost went right by thinking we were in the wrong place when we saw the unassuming deli up front, then remembered we were supposed to be at a speakeasy. Right this way through the walk in freezer door and you're in a trendy, hipster but not too condescending hipster, swanky joint. Keeping up with the speakeasy theme, the menu was pegs pasted into the center of a book, for that "secret prohibition era" vibe. They don't have a full out bar license, so you have to order at least one food item with your drinks, even if it's just one oyster for the group. We got the cheese platter which was great. Decent selection of whiskeys. Mixed drinks with throwback sounding names. (My wife had the Bees Knees and while it was too sweet for me, she loved it.) All in all, a fun time, friendly staff, and good drinks. Can't ask for more than that.
