Some friends and I are gong to Montreal in November for a weekend and i was hoping to find a great bar for cocktails. When in NYC I took them to Pegu, D&C, Little Branch, and PDT for drinks which they loved and now they are wanting to go out for cocktails in montreal.

Any suggestions?

I suggest you spoiled your friends in NYC! :smile: You'll have a hard time matching that lineup in any other city in the world. Are you basically just looking for one good place? Or do you need a whole lineup?

All we need is one good place in Montreal.

I would guess that the best cocktails would be found at a hotel or restaurant bar somewhere in the city.(This may be a bad assumption, but i'm going with it)

Couple of places :
Assomoir (old montreal and on Bernard st), extensive mixology list; but it is quite noisy (at least at the Old Montreal location).
Le Lab ( 1351, Rue Rachel Est ) never been, but heard good thing about it.
Barmacie (Laurier St.) is nice, and a good area for food for before or after or in between drinks.
