15 Best Bars in Montreal | Condé Nast Traveler

"Open an understated door, descend a staircase that's been decorated with gilded wallpaper, and walk along the longest, narrowest hallway you've probably ever seen: at the end is this basement speakeasy-meets-izakaya, one of the most chichi hangouts in Old Montreal. Seasonal cocktails boast interesting flavors and Asian ingredients, including sake, plum wine, Japanese whiskey, and soju (Korean vodka). Take the Ichigo Monkey Business, a wowsa-yowsa concoction of rum, Campari, citrus juices, rose and hibiscus syrup, and—for the kicker—grapefruit Red Bull." - Isa Tousignant
