| - super pricey for what you're getting, pretty good cocktails, good service.
The food is crazy over-priced here (maybe it's a Montreal thing), so too were the drinks. BUT, on the other hand, this was the only place I could find in the downtown-touristy area that had a bottle of Angostura bitters, so the pretty friendly barkeep, tough he'd never heard of it before, let me walk him through an Old Fashioned, which was great (and I'd been looking for an Old Fashioned for days by that point, but nobody carried bitters). Also tried their version of a pomegranate mojito, which was also done really well - tart instead of sugary, which I liked.
The decor is shamcy-low-key, mood lightning, swanky. It felt great to get out of the snow for two hours and feel a little chic, and I was really happy to have a good bartender, but I don't think I'd be back again. Trop cher pour moi.
[this will mean very little to most people, but Le Newton found an AMAZING designer to do their business cards. I want to know who's responsible. They're incredible.]
