Le Lab is the place to go to for cocktails in Montreal. It is more than just a bar where you can get some drinks. Le Lab is a revolutionary bar where cocktails are created at the intersection of art and science (yeah, I went there).
Here is what you need to know:
1. The place can get so busy. If you go right when it opens, it'll be pretty empty at the bar but tables are generally reserved for all the hours that Le Lab is open.
2. You have so many options. There's the rotating menu, specials written on a whiteboard hanging above the bar, and basically anything you want can be created here.
3. Why art and science you say? To make my drink, the bartender LIT IT ON FIRE and mixed it with flames engulfing the tequila. My friend's drink was served in a multi-tiered teapot.
4. The drinks are strong.
5. It's more of a small group of friends vibes.
6. Mostly locals, some tourists.
7. Service is great.
I can't recommend Le Lab enough if you love cocktails and are in Montreal. It's a place you have to check out and experience.
