| - Probably would give half a star, if I could...however, I have not tried the food or the "cocktails" because the service was so bad an unwelcoming that I felt uncomfortable even ordering anything. First time in Montreal, and I absolutely loved the city and the people - however if this was my only experience I would definitely think otherwise. I was travelling alone n business, which is hard enough being female. I read the reviews and decided to give this a chance since I craved a good cocktail and poutine. I sat at the bar for 20 minutes before someone acknowledged me; I had to finally ask for a menu. Waitress (the one with the stupid nose ring) was very rude and totally blew me off, especially when she thought I didn't speak French - although I really do, I just didn't feel like making an effort with her. The waitress who poured me my beer was pleasant. Strange comments from some of the male staff. Just generally unprofessional and unpleasant, which is strange for such a young staff and from my other experiences in Montreal, which I usually rave for being a very welcoming city. Too bad. Staff needs to realize that it is not "cool" making guests, or anyone for that matter, feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, especially when they are supporting your business. Also, if you advertise as being a cocktail bar, learn some standard cocktail recipes. Best of luck; I hope you improve.
