| - Atmosphere
What to say about Le Lab besides that it is probably the best Montreal bar I have been in a while. I went there for the first time for my birthday a couple of days ago and I had a blast. It is just a small cozy bar with great music and great atmosphere. At one point during the night, the bartenders started putting on a show with fire which was very impressive and entertaining. You could see everyone from each table getting up to go take pictures of those two bartenders juggling with balls of fire. To top it off, the song they chose to go along with their show was thunderstruck from AC/DC. Simply awesome! If you are not too many, I would even suggest going to the bar, considering the bartenders would do tricks in front of you and entertain you constantly throughout the night. The Lab gets 5 stars for its atmosphere and entertainment.
Drinks & Food
The drinks the Lab has are very varied, going from exceptionally original drinks to an entire page for non-alcoholic ones. It has a beverage for every type of person. I was actually surprised to see they made Pisco Sour, which is a drink I discovered in Peru and could not find anywhere else, and even though it did not taste the same, it was still pretty good. Another shocker for me that evening was a strange looking device they used to pour drops of water on a cube of sugar for absinthe. I have to say that, from all the drinks I have tried that night (and, trust me, I have tried many) the one that caught my heart was the Jay's Basilic. If you love raspberries, it'll be your favorite as well. However, if you are looking for a show you need to order the Rouleau Parisien which is a shot they put on fire in front of you. At this point, I forget which type of alcohol it was, but I remember it was really good. The prices of the drinks are pricy but worth trying at least once (the drinks are also incredibly strong). Therefore, for drinks, I give le Lab 5 stars.
Service
The service at le Lab is extremely slow and our waiter was not very pleasant at all however they do warn you in their menu that the service will take a while considering the complexity of their drinks. I was not very satisfied with their service but the show and the entertainment that the bartenders provided made up for it partly. Also being with a good crowd makes having bad service more bearable. I will give the service of this Montreal bar 2 stars.
Location
The location of le Lab is not really accessible without a car but being close to la Banquise on Rachel Street makes it totally worth taking a cab for. For those who know me, they know I love ending there after a good night, which I totally recommend against hangovers. The location gets 3 stars.
The total amount of stars I would allocate to le Lab in general would be 5
