Categories

  1. Rank 1. The Cloakroom

    Cocktail Bar

    Tucked behind a menswear boutique in the Golden Square Mile, this 25-seat cocktail bar has no menu, because the whole point is that they make whatever you actually want. The bartenders size you up, ask a few questions, and tailor something to fit. It's landed on Canada's 100 Best Bars, which tracks. The crowd tends toward people who know what they like but are happy to be surprised. Dress like you wandered in from the shop out front.

  3. Rank 3. Bar Dominion

    Cocktail Bar

    Bar Dominion is a cocktail bar and gastropub that looks like it was always supposed to be here, because it basically was. The Art Deco bones, original tile floors, and dark woodwork give it the feel of a grand hotel bar where serious drinking is the whole point. The cocktails are genuinely excellent, the raw bar is a flex, and the steak frites will make you feel like you made good choices. Canada's 100 Best Bars agrees.

  5. Rank 5. Atwater Cocktail Club

    Atwater Cocktail Club is a seriously good cocktail bar that somehow never turned into a tourist trap despite being gorgeous enough to warrant one. The backbar is stacked with rare agave and sugar-cane spirits, and the cocktails are genuinely creative without being annoying about it. Locals in good outfits fill the glittery booths while DJs play Thursday through Saturday. It's on Canada's 100 Best Bars list, and it's earned it.

  7. Rank 7. The Coldroom

    Cocktail Bar

    You're looking for an unmarked door with a painted duck on it, and yes, that's exactly as fun as it sounds. The Coldroom is a genuine speakeasy tucked into a 19th-century warehouse in Old Montreal, small and candlelit, the kind of place where everyone looks like they found a secret. Ring the bell, head downstairs, and tell the bartender your mood. They'll build something around it, which honestly beats reading a menu.

  8. Rank 8. Bar Bisou Bisou

    Cocktail Bar

    Bisou Bisou is an aperitivo bar tucked into Old Montreal's stone-walled streets, and it does one thing really well: it makes you want to stay for another round. The focus is on sherry, vermouth, amaro, and fortified wines you'd normally only find at a place that takes itself way too seriously. The food is built to match, which is exactly the right call. The crowd skews stylish and unhurried, which sets the tone nicely.

  11. Rank 11. Le Majestique

    Seafood

    The seafood tower alone is worth the trip, and Le Majestique delivers it inside a room that looks like a hunting lodge threw a dinner party and never stopped. This lively diner on St-Laurent draws industry folks and regulars who drink natural wine like it's water and eat oysters without making it a whole thing. The kitschy wood panelling and deer heads are sincere, and somehow it all works.

  15. Rank 15. Bar Numéro

    A serious cocktail bar on Saint-Laurent that landed on Canada's 100 Best Bars list before it even had time to break in the barstools. The bartenders work right in the room with you, lights low, no shaker theatrics in sight. The drinks are technically wild, but the vibe stays neighbourhood enough that a Labatt 50 is always on offer. Bring someone you want to impress without making it obvious that's what you're doing.

  16. Rank 16. Bar Bello

    Italian Cocktail Bar

    Bar Bello is an aperitivo bar on St-Laurent that commits fully to the bit: taralli on the table, Aperol in the glass, and a vintage vending machine stocking bottled Negronis in rotating seasonal flavors. The patio crowd looks like they've nowhere better to be, which is exactly the point. Push past the Spritz and explore the amari and vermouth list. It's on Canada's 100 Best Bars, and honestly it earns it.
