| - I was shocked that we managed to get a seat after waiting only thirty minutes; we came at 9 pm on a Saturday night, so of course the line was nearly spilling out the door. Our server didn't handle the crowd very well, and it took a long time for us to get our order in and drinks when they were ready. I made the mistake of ordering the Zombie goblet, which is listed under a punch bowl. I chalked up the hefty $25 price tag to what I thought would be a generous serving, but was only slightly bigger than a pint. It tasted exactly as you would expect of the strongest liquors thrown together: not great, but if you have the money and want to get drunk, go for it.
My friend got the strange jerky lab jack, which came out with a piece of jerky on a mini-pulley. It was better than the zombie for sure. Everyone else also got flaming shots. Fire seems to be a key theme here. I had a bad seat, but the bartenders started doing some kind of flamethrowing show while we were there that everyone ooh-ed and ah-ed over. Everyone else, my friends included, seemed to be having a great time, so I figure four stars is fair. I was just disappointed that we kept hearing this was The Best Bar in all of Montreal, and it didn't quite live up to that.
