. . . "1"^^ . "HIDDEN GEM ALERT!\n\nOMG this place was amazing but a little challenging to find! To find this place, you have to first understand what a Speakeasy is. A Speakeasy is an establishment that illegally sells alcohol (sit down Lot 332, I am talking about during prohibition time in the 20's and 30's). \n\nBy design this place should be underground but we didn't realize that that would include the entrance. My friend and I showed up to 420 Rue St-Gabriel and the door was locked... are they closed on a Saturday? My friend really had to go to the washroom and since we were already in the Vieux Port we decided to go to the bar next door called L'Auberge. \n\nWe arrived at 11:30pm and begrudgingly paid $15 at the door. Once in, my friend noticed some bouncers hanging by a staircase and beats coming from that general direction. Went down and saw the cobblestone tunnel seen in the Yelp photos... were we in the right place after all?!\n\nYup, and let me tell you this place was gorgeous! What else was gorgeous? The staff! My bartender and busboy were HAWT and the super cute bar service girls were super nice and danced around with the patrons all night.\n\nThe music was an awesome blend of House, minimal techno and electronica. I loved all the art used in the space and small details like the poetry on the walls. The drinks were pretty strong and about $8 each and $6 for shots. I will definitely come back when I am in town again."^^ . "2010-06-29T00:00:00"^^ . "6"^^ . "5"^^ . "4"^^ .
