| - As soon as I turned 18, I made my way to Montreal so that I could hit up some bars! After the 6 and a half hour drive, it was 10:30 P.M., and though I really wanted to sleep, my partner insisted that we do at least one thing that evening. At the time, my partner was obsessed with speakeasy's, so he really wanted to hit one up. We heard some things about this one and decided to give it a try, and boy were we impressed! Of course, the place itself is absolutely brilliant - it's hidden so that it looks just like a tailor's office, and when you walk in there's a plain-looking room that seemingly looks like... nothing. However, after a minute or two, a man in a suit comes out and invited us in! I'm not sure if we just got lucky that day or what, but it was quiet enough that we managed to get a table (though, as other reviewers have suggested, coming here with a party any bigger than 2-3 you might get turned away, as this bar is very small!)
The atmosphere of the bar was the coolest I've ever experienced; it was super dimly lit, very romantic, and had some quiet older-type music playing. The bartenders were honestly another highlight for me - ours was super friendly and outgoing, and made lovely conversation with us while we waiting for a drink. And though the drinks aren't super cheap - they were, without a doubt, the best drinks I've ever had. As other people have mentioned, they don't have any kind of drink menu, you can simply tell them what you're feeling like, if there's a specific kind of liquor you'd prefer, literally anything you'd like and they'll make it. I had 3 different drinks, and all three were phenomenal. Super excited to go back next time I'm there!
