Came in for one drink, left with the best birthday memory ever. Staff were beyond sweet — got surprise shots, free drinks, and birthday love from the bartender. Absolutely unreal🥹🩷

The definition of speakeasy, good lick finding it your first time! Great transition inside!

The cocktail menu was creative and well-crafted. I tried the Mad whale and it was easily one of the best I’ve had—balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Atmosphere: 8.5/10 Located in Little Burgundy, this hidden cocktail spot offers a casual yet stylish vibe. The space features mirrored walls, some street-style art, and a well-stocked backbar that fits the energetic mood. Mixed crowd. Plenty of seating: couches, tables, bar stools. Music is good but leans loud—conversation is possible, but not easy during peak hours.
Drinks: 9/10 Recommendation: La Récolte Menu is sleek and functional, organized by flavor profile with ingredients, ABV, and glass type clearly noted—great for navigating. Glassware is solid quality, garnishes are thoughtful, and overall presentation is on point. No coasters. Drinks are impressively balanced. Special mention: Smoke Show — a fruity cocktail with an Instagram-worthy presentation and solid flavor to back it up.
Service: 8.5/10 Water served on arrival. Team is friendly and attentive. Prices are average for Montreal, but the bar felt lightly understaffed for its size—orders can take a while.

Nice little cocktail bar! Drinks were good and servers were very friendly. Definitely will swing by again sometime.

Creative cocktails that live up to the hype. Really cool space overall. Might be a little wait depending on group size and timing, but the staff won’t play games and will do their best to get you in the door. Again— this play totally lives up to the hype.

Drinks and atmosphere live up to their reputation—if you can get in ;)

Amazing service from security, to the servers and bartenders. They made sure we were taken care of and made our night. The cocktails and ambiance were amazing as well! Will definitely go back!

Jess is an angel on Earth and happens to also be a bartender here, which is suiting since ACC’s atmosphere is so otherworldly. So many things to come back here for, and she’s one of them. Great drink suggestions, a true mixologist, a total babe, and clearly a team player. Thanks for turning our night around and making us feel like lifelong friends instead of a pair of strangers!
The Atwater Cocktail Club is a fun little hidden cocktail bar, which is known as the one of the best bars in Canada. We were greeted at the hidden door at the end of the dark alleyway by a giant doorman, who was eventually friendly. Nevertheless, the service was great, the atmosphere was cool, and the cocktails were delicious. Just for the experience, I’d recommend trying the “Smoked Show” cocktail, which comes out under a glass vase filled with smoke that infuses the drink with flavour, (check out the video below). Lots of fun!

Waited outside in the cold almost caught frostbite to then be let in and had to wait 30 minutes prior to getting a table. Drinks were over priced . Service was terrible Quick to take our order but waited over 25 minutes for one drink. Do not recommend. There's a security guard that works there that looks like a wannabe builder although he's a very rude looks like he hates his job and just wants to get through the night. I was looking forward as I've seen all these great reviews, but I honestly hated the experience I received and I will not be coming back

Difficult to get in to without waiting so it's definitely worth showing up when they open for cocktails before dinner. The bouncer will still be slow to let you in but they want to keep up the appearance of a long line. Drinks are really good but a little over priced. They're busy so service is slow, we were joking about ordering two drinks at a time with the server because he was impossible to flag down...he didn't like that.

Came on a FRIDAY night. Waiting line was quick, even if full. The atmosphere was amazing and waitress Marie-Eve gave an impeccable service. Fully recommend.
