The Owners of Taverne Midway Open a Cocktail Bar in the Village | Eater Montreal

"I visited the new Village drinking spot Taverne Marion on Ontario Street East at the corner of Wolfe, which opened on February 15; co-owner Charles Landry says it offers a well-rounded selection of Quebec microbrews, wines, and seasonal craft cocktails. Currently on the menu are the “French Buccaneer” made with rum, pineapple, bitters, honey, ginger, and lime, and the “Siffredi” with bourbon, Italian herbal liqueur Lucano, coffee, and Demerara sugar. Because Marion has a food permit it has been able to operate under coronavirus guidelines ahead of the February 28 bar reopening, offering charcuterie, nachos, and wings for now, with a larger food menu and extended hours planned from March 14 when restaurants and bars can reopen at full capacity without vaccine passports. Bright and filled with bursts of greenery, Marion has white-washed brick walls and large garage-style windows that give the feeling of being outside (and will open into a terrasse in summer); the owners left behind the previous venue's video poker and pool elements when converting the space. Landry opened Marion with Midway partners Alexandre Théberge, Jean-Philippe Bouchard, and François Chamberland and named it after Théberge’s young daughter. The bar is currently open Tuesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. to midnight at 1151 Ontario Street East." - Valerie Silva
