Montreal is bubbling over with eclectic speakeasies, tropical tiki bars, and establishments helmed by cocktail celebrities, each pouring their unique talents into the world of mixology. Here are some exceptional places in the city to quench your thirst for (and with) expertly mixed cocktails.
Mayor Valérie Plante often uses social media to showcase the Montreal businesses and institutions she visits, both as part of her duties as the city's chief executive and, occasionally, in her personal life, as just another Montrealer seeking a good time in the buzzing metropolis. On May 21, she took to the city's Sud-Ouest borough for an apparent date night, "playing tourist," in her words, as she zipped between some of the area's trendiest drinkeries with some time for architecture gazing along the way.
Ever looked at your Montreal neighbourhood and thought, "Hey, you'd make a fine cocktail?" No? Well, Absolut Vodka has. The company teamed up with local bartenders to create concoctions that'll have you drinking in the essence of your ‘hood quite literally.
