The Top 12 Places to Drink Near Babar Restaurant

  1. Rank 1. Atwater Cocktail Club

    Glittery couches, a backbar stacked with hard-to-find agave and sugar-cane spirits, and DJs on weekends make the setup clear before the first drink arrives. This is a cocktail bar that takes its mixing seriously, with odd, exciting combinations sitting alongside mastery of the classics. The kitchen turns out proper bar food, too. North America's 50 Best Bars has it listed, and the crowd skews local, which is usually the better sign.

  2. Rank 2. The Coldroom

    Cocktail Bar

    A painted duck above a handleless door is the only sign you're in the right place. Ring the bell, wait, then descend into a 19th-century warehouse that now runs as an intimate speakeasy in Old Montreal. The bar team builds spirit-forward cocktails tailored to your mood, and the room rewards the kind of night that starts with "just one." North America's 50 Best Bars placed it at number 97 in 2026.

  3. Rank 3. Bar Bisou Bisou

    Cocktail Bar

    Stone walls, whitewashed brick, and colourful tiles set the mood at this aperitivo bar tucked into Old Montreal. The list leans hard into sherry, vermouth, amaro, and obscure fortified wines, with low-ABV and spirit-free options that don't feel like an afterthought. Small plates are built to pair, not to fill. It landed on Canada's 100 Best Bars list, which tracks for a room where the drinks menu reads like a love letter to everything your wine shop keeps behind the counter.

  4. Rank 4. Bar Dominion

    Cocktail Bar

    The original Art Deco tile floors and woodwork have been around forever, and the team behind Bar Dominion wisely left them alone. This is a gastropub with a serious cocktail program, the kind of room that feels like a grand hotel bar but where people actually stay for a second drink. The raw bar and steak frites handle the food side; the cocktails handle the rest.
