I read about La Distillerie before going to Montreal and wanted to try it out. My sister who lives there actually knew the spot, which happens to be La Distillerie N.2
They have a very nice cocktail list but the talented bartender also made us a couple of other drinks with ingredients we requested. We were very happy!
Of course, everybody loves the Mason jars but I think the large format ones take a bit too long to drink and by the end it's so watered down by the melted ice cubes that it's not really worth it.
Even though I appreciated the eclectic music selection, we went there on a Saturday and the place was super loud. Maybe it's less appealing to me as I get older or maybe I like places that are a bit quieter when I get to enjoy well-crafted cocktails but if it doesn't bother you I say you have to go get a drink there!
