| - After our experience at The Cloakroom, my partner and I were looking for another speakeasy-type place to go to when we heard about this one. When we approached the alleyway, there was a security guard there that we chatted with who was super nice - we were waiting for a spot for about 15-20 minutes, which we ended up not minding at all after talking to this guy! Anyways, after finally being let in, the place itself was pretty neat looking - it was packed, which we were expecting, but I didn't expect it to be as difficult as it was to move around. We were seated at the bar first, which we didn't mind, and we ordered our first drinks. Our drinks were unfortunately a little underwhelming - they were decent, but a little watered down. We shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just one drink, but even after we were seated and ordered another, different drink, it still tasted watery! If I were anywhere else I wouldn't have minded as much, but considering the drinks weren't cheap and it had been so hyped up, we were definitely disappointed.
I will say though, that the french fries we got (which were super reasonably priced) were amazing! Like... some of the best fries we've ever had, which we definitely weren't expecting to find. Also - please keep in mind this isn't a recent review, as this is from last summer. It's possible that this might have changed. I might check it out next time I'm in Montreal, because I really did want to love this place!
