This place straddles the line between three stars and four stars, but I'm rounding up to four because it's truly the only somewhat decent cocktail bar in Montreal. No one is really doing mixology here in any serious way (other than Le Lab).
What's to like:
--Pretty decent music. The night we went there was a very capable DJ at the MacBook helm.
--Cool decor.
--Nice menu with good recommendations.
What's not to like:
--Overstressed, underserving staff. It appeared one server was servicing all the tables, so she would disappear for looooooong stretches during which one might like to order another round or get more water or a check. She was overworked and, though sweet, just too slow by virtue of the setup.
--A bit TOO loud (so thankfully the music was good).
--$15 each for our less exciting cocktail round. STEEP for cocktails that would cost about $10-11 U.S. and really should have here, being not so special. (Our first round at $11 and $14 was much more exciting.)
