My hotel was just one block down from this amazing low key bar. I was greeted by Joanna who also happened to be the bartender. Since it was one of those rare summer type days in Montreal, I asked her to make me something refreshing which was much happily honored by her. I ended up drinking quite an amazing drink (i usually drink straight drinks whether it be whisky, rum, tequila etc. and avoid mixed drinks). It was not on the menu and was made of gin, cucumber, & lillet. It was quite an amazing experience and I ended up going there couple more times during my stay. She also imparted some of her knowledge around gin distilled locally in that area, and I was able to grab couple bottles from SAQ (local liquor store chain) to bring with me to states. Also, became instagram buddies with the bar page Whisky_Reserve & N_On_Mackay
