| - This place is so cool. It was my favorite stop in Montreal! Music was chill, servers were chill, and the atmosphere too. Crowd was cool. I expected pretentious hipsters, but really everyone was just hip. Reviewers suggested going to the 2nd floor to sit, but realized there would be a difference in the winter. I just got back from our trip, March, but it was snowing a bit. So the upstairs ended up being just more seating space rather than an open terrace.. a bit lounge-like, but definitely much less pub-like and loud than downstairs. It closed earlier though, maybe 11pm-12am ish. Our server was sweet, friendly, and very helpful. She offered to translate everything and was very attentive, her timing was perfect in bringing over our second round of drinks.
My boyfriend and I both got the cream ale. I just checked the menu online and can't find it, but if you happen to see it when you're there, get it!!! So, so good. He can't stop talking about it. I'm less of a beer aficionado and I can't stop either! So CREAMY and rich and smooth. Definitely coming back, even just for that beer.
We ordered from the written menu, and our friends ordered from the specials on the board, some fish dish that I didn't try, but looked delicious. We got the grilled cheese, fish and chips, and arugula salad. Overall a great combo! The grilled cheese was quite small for the price, in my opinion, with 1.50 for extra bacon, which we got of course. But it was just too good to complain. Pickles were eh, though. Fish and chips were very yummy, nothing crazy to rave about there, but the arugula salad was especially nice. Extremely light yet flavorful. And definitely necessary with all the greasy stuff we were eating haha
Coming back without question.
