Overall Impression: A relaxed, unpretentious neighbourhood classic with great house beers, solid food, and an authentically Montréal atmosphere. A favourite spot for a laid-back visit any time of year. What I liked: My wife and I visit frequently and always enjoy the relaxed, easygoing vibe. The food menu isn’t huge, but it’s reasonably priced, consistently good, and exactly what fits the atmosphere. Their in-house beer selection is a standout… there are always reliable staples alongside seasonal brews, so there’s usually something new to try while still keeping familiar favourites available. The décor has a strong art-deco feel that i believe is original, which adds a lot of character. You can feel the history of the place, and it gives the space an authentic charm you don’t find everywhere. From spring through fall, the street patio is excellent… lively without being overwhelming. We often stop in while out walking, and it’s the perfect place to sit back, people-watch, and enjoy the neighbourhood. Atmosphere & vibe: There’s a distinctly Montréal artistic energy here…relaxed, creative, and unapologetically local. It attracts a mix of regulars and visitors and feels welcoming without trying too hard. Who this is good for: Anyone looking for a laid-back, unpretentious spot with good beer, simple good food, and a genuine local feel. Ideal for casual evenings, patio drinks, or a relaxed stop while walking through the area. Closing: A place we keep coming back to… comfortable, consistent, and full of character.
