| - Atmosphere
Looking for a casual bar to have a special drink with a bunch of friends? Distillerie is the place to go. It presently has three locations, first one in the Quartier Latin, second one on the Mont Royal Plateau and the third one in Rosemont, which are all in the downtown area. What is great about Distillerie is that its drinks are constant throughout each place. What they are mainly known for is their out of the ordinary combo of fantasy drinks served in big Mason jars. It's the presentation of the drinks that turns Distillerie into a cool Montreal experience. Unfortunately, all three of them, mostly the first one in the Quartier Latin due to its smaller size, become so crowded that it is really difficult to find seating and the waiting line at the door is really annoying. Also another downfall to Distillerie would be its lack of a terrace which is always appreciated during a nice summer day. I would give Distillerie 3 stars for its atmosphere.
Drinks & Food
As mentioned earlier, Distillerie has great and very varied drinks which will appeal to any taste. I would recommend taking the larger jar since most people will find it's more than plenty and the prices of the jars are very reasonable considering the amount you get in one single serving. They, however, don't serve food at Distillerie (except little fishy snacks) which means fill up your stomachs before heading there. Trust me; with the amount of alcohol in those jars, you will need a good meal. Distillerie gets a well deserved 5 stars for its drinks.
Insider tip - Try my personal favorite: the Missionary Downfall (a mojito with pineapple). They don't offer it on their menu anymore but they will still make you one and it is totally worth it.
Service
At Distillerie, the waiters and bartenders are very friendly and relatively fast considering the crowd that bar takes in. Make sure to arrive early to get a seat on either a table or in front of the bar which will aid enormously with the service you will get. The bartenders at Distillerie are really knowledgeable of their craft and will be happy to make a custom drink to your liking. When I go to the one in Mont Royal, I try to go as close to the bar in the back because that bartender (I think his name is Alex) is pretty awesome. Flipping his bottles, providing very fast service and basically just a cool guy to chat with. Even the bouncers there are really nice, which is not something I can say about many places. The service at Distillerie gets 5 stars.
Location
The locations of all three Distilleries are not particularly close to any metros which makes it more difficult to access if you don't have a car. The one I found was the easiest to get to was Distillerie number 1 in the Quartier Latin by getting off at the Berri station. For the location, I will have to give 3 stars.
The total amount of stars I would allocate to Distillerie in general would be 4
