Loved it!!!!!! So did both my friends!!
So happy I went! So sad it's closing soon for the season and will hafta wait 'til spring before they come back! (I believe we overheard the 10th of October (2016) as the last day). We weren't smart enough to ask when they're opening back up in 2017.
Follow Atwater down past the Atwater Market and just to the right of the sign for the Lachine Canal at the end of the street is the dock leading down to Canal Lounge.
Prices are fabulous!! Drinks are fabulous!! Ambiance is fabulous (nice soft jazz music playing and -- despite thinking it would be -- not at all hipster...actually surprised at the much older crowd for a Wednesday evening).
DO NOT EXPECT TO EAT!! And therefore please do not give this place a bad rating thinking it's a restaurant...it's not. It's a cocktail lounge. Period. It has a few snacky items but that's it.
DO EXPECT to drink wonderfully mixed drinks. Unfortunately do also expect your red wine to be cold.
Service was very nice, don't expect speedy because they do take the time to talk to their patrons and it's a small place that fills up around 5pm and empties again around 7 (at least on Wednesday).
The bathroom was incredibly adorable I absolutely loved it!! The door slides open (don't try to push or pull). The flush is actually a button on the cabinet below the sink that you hafta hold to flush...took me a minute to figure it out (despite the sign next to it) which is why I mention it.
Got a chance to speak with one of the owners who was surprised to hear I learned about them on Yelp...he didn't even know what Yelp was lol!! He was happy to learn of their perfect rating here too (he told me they have a perfect rating on fb too). He also told me they want to expand with other boats all down the dock like a boardwalk type set up...so excited for that to happen!!
This place is a perfect gem of a Yelp-iscovery! Will definitely be back!!!
