So I was on a quest for this legendary drink, the “Golden Idol.” Supposedly it gives you this feeling of like, total bliss if your brave enough to drink it, and it led me to a place that people only talk about in whispers: The Serpent’s Kiss.
Getting there was a whole thing. I had to cross the Îles aux tourtes bridge over a treacherous river, and then fight through the downtown Saint Lazare jungle where honking cars are like the war cries of some forgotten tribe.

The entrance was super low-key, just this little carving of a snake eating its own tail. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of spices and old booze, it was really cool. The lighting was all moody and made these long shadows dance on the walls, and they had artifacts from all over the place. I was half expecting a poison dart to shoot out of the wall or something. Behind the bar was this guy who could only be the high priest of the place, he had a grizzled beard and these eyes that looked like they'd seen a thousand happy hours. He was polishing a glass like it was a sacred relic.
“I seek the Golden Idol,” I said, my voice was barely a whisper.
The bartenders eyes narrowed. “Many have sought it,” he rumbled, his voice like rocks grinding together. “Few have been worthy.” He then gave me a bunch of trials. First, I had to figure out a menu full of riddles. Then I had to pick the right glass from a whole bunch of chalices and goblets and tiki mugs. Any one of them could have been like, a poison cup or something. I chose… wisely.

Making the drink was a whole ritual. The bartender moved with this real precise, almost mystical grace, he was combining rare liquors from unlabeled bottles and muttering stuff in a language I didn’t know, and garnishing it with a plant I'm pretty sure is extinct. The final thing was this glowing, golden drink that practically hummed with its own energy.

I took a sip. Woww. The world just dissolved into flavor. It was like they opened the Ark of the Covenant, but instead of melting my face off it just melted away all my anxiety. I felt total euphoria, invincible even. I understood the secrets of the universe, I probably could have outrun that giant boulder..But the moment didnt last long. Out of the corner of my eye I see this other adventurer dude, wearing a cheap fedora, eyeing my drink with some serious jealousy. I knew I had to get out of there. I grabbed my precious drink and made a run for it, dodging a flying peanut and just barely missing a swinging light. I burst out into the night with the taste of victory and aged rum on my lips.

The Serpent’s Kiss is not for the faint of heart, its a perilous journey. But for those brave enough to face the trials, the reward is definately worth it. Five stars. Just make sure you bring a whip.

We bought tickets to the Grande Ouverture de Terrasse for June 21, 2025. We went but did not stay because tables on the terrasse were already reserved. It was a complete waste of money and time. We don't understand what we paid for.

Worst experience of my life at a Halloween costume contest, I went there with a great costume that I worked on knowing that there was up to $2000 in prizes, lots of people said they would vote for me not knowing how It worked since we weren't told anything about the jury, I put on a show with my costume, I had a rocket that went off and I sang a pirate song and the people who were called to the stage were practically there no effort in their costumes, a lot of people then asked me why I wasn't called, I said I didn't know but it was super disappointing and those who were being judged clearly had no idea what they were doing and we nothing done to choose the few people who really put in the effort to win. I was No.22 thank you good evening I'm not going back there.👎 PS: $6 per shot...seriously..

Always a pleasure this place, smiling, welcoming staff. So much for eating and shows.

They serve food here, besides drinks. Nice selection of food choices in the menu. We ordered the pizza and the buffalo chicken wrap sandwich with fries, everything was delicious! The pizza dough was nice, so as the fries. Very busy bar, so expect it to be loud and fun!
