La Distillerie

300, rue Ontario E, Montréal, QC H2X 1H6

We hope you’re thirsty because the drinks at one of the three Distillerie locations are rather large. The experienced mixologists will dazzle you with their skills and serve up many cocktails in mason jars. They have a seasonal drink menu with recommended cocktails, and they are all rated depending on how strong the drink is. The crowd is young and hip, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Make sure to be there early as this place can fill up fast.

When someone mentions cool cocktails, Le Lab on Rachel immediately comes to mind. The mixologists will put on a real show that includes juggling and flames. Order from a wide array of cocktails like the Jerry Lab Jack, which comes with the house beef jerky, suspended on a string. They also serve beverages mixed with their homemade ginger beer.
