Canal Lounge

Nice bar on the canal water with ship theme, beautiful design and nice drinks. Really cozy spot to grab a drink and enjoy sunset or for a date.

I enjoyed the concept of a lounge on a boat. It's beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and plants. There are several seats inside and a few outside. I couldn't do outside because it was on cushions, and I wouldn't be able to lift myself afterward. Seabreeze (drink) was delicious, and so were the shared appetizers. It's really cozy.

The vibes on this boat are really next level. I almost don't want to review it because I secretly want it to remain a *hidden* gem. The drinks are really refreshing and lovely prepared. The $19 Aperol spritz is not as overpriced as it seems. I didn't try the food but I'm sure it's great. Would be amazing to rent it out for a party. I'll definitely make an effort to return here when I'm in the area again.

The best place to go for a cozy drink with your partner and/or your friends. I will gladly comeback to this place. Drinks are good too. I guess the place itself and the ambiance are worth the price. There's a line up, as no reservations. The view outside is pretty cool while waiting for your turn. Even though the weather is chilly.

I'd recommend this bar to anyone looking for a nice drink on a boat during the evening! Service is great and the drinks and well priced. The ambiance is nice and when it's warm out it doesn't feel to hot in the boat and there's plenty of space. You have the chance to sit on the outside of the boat but those spots are limited. You may find yourself waiting in line to get on the host boat at times but they aren't too long. If you have to use the washroom, I'd recommend going before entering as they do have a bathroom but only good for peeing.

Went to Canal Lounge with friends on a recent trip to Montreal. We hit the market up first and then did the extremely short walk over to Canal Lounge. It is situated on a dock right in the canal. We were greated by the owner at the top of the dock who was kind enough to snap some pictures of our group. We started off inside the boat but noticed an upper roof top patio area big enough to accommodate 4 people and asked our server of we could sit up their. He abliged and said it was one of the most sought after seats. They started us with water while we waited for our cocktails. I ordered the sea breeze to start. It was an excellent choice for a warm summers day. Very refreshing, flavourful, not too boozy and had chunks of frozen fruit along with the ice. It prompted my friends to order one for their second drink. I got a beer for drink 2. The views are great and it is a cool spot to watch the afternoon go by while enjoying a drink. Service was excellent and I would return on a future visit to Montreal. Make this a destination on your trip to Montreal.

Wonderful place for a romantic drink on the water. Cozy inside or two lovely sitting areas on the bow or the stern. Great selection of drinks and cocktails. 🍹🍷 Will definitely be going back before they close for the winter!

This bar is simply stunning. The venue is a repurposed boat with a gutted inside to offer ample seating. They have a dozen or so tables along both sides and a bathroom at the back of the boat near the bar. When you're sitting down, you can feel the boat swaying back and forth. You can also open the windows and say hi to people passing by on paddle boats. This bar has two outdoor seating areas; one at the front, which can be challenging to get to as you need to swing around the side of the opening into the bar, and another one at the back, up a ladder. Personally, I preferred the front outdoor seating area, as it offers a gorgeous view of the canal and has gorgeous flowers to admire. Be aware that you are exposed to the elements outside of the boat and it can get quite chilly. The chairs are also not affixed to the boat, so one slip and you might end up in the canal. The rear outdoor seating is just a set of cushions in a wooden box, but it feels a lot more secure. The outdoor seating areas fill up immensely quickly, so you have to be lucky to get one, but the other tables indoors are gorgeous as well. I ordered La Bouee, which was a delicious drink, and a Perfect Storm, which I enjoyed mixing to my taste. My friend ordered a Malibu Seabreeze and said it was absolutely delicious. We also got chips to share, but I thought at $7 it was quite overpriced. Do note this bar has a 2 hour limit on stays, but this wasn't a problem in my experience. We weren't asked to leave, but also went on a weekday when the bar was nearly entirely empty. Keep it in mind if there's a line waiting on the pier.
