The Best Montreal Bars and Cafés With Air-Conditioning | Eater Montreal
"Sometimes Montreal’s balmy summer weather calls for an afternoon a sunny terrasse, and other times it calls for a basement hideaway: for the latter category, there’s Clandestino, a cool underground (literally) mezcal and tequila bar. Clandestino doesn’t open until 7 p.m., but with Montreal’s summer nights sometimes staying above 25, there’s no time limit on the need for a chilled out, dark escape." - Holly Tousignant
12 ‘Hidden’ Montreal Bars To Know | Eater Montreal
"This plush, cavernous space is hidden away beneath beachy Old Montreal restaurant Venice and its next-door bar Boho. Hope you like Mexican spirits, since tequila and mezcal are the focus here with over 100 private imports on hand — get them in tasting flights or in cocktail form. Those not interested in cactus- and agave-based spirits should probably remain upstairs at Boho." - Carla Bragagnolo
My friends from out of town and I really enjoyed this intimate speakeasy. All the drinks were good. My favorite was the colada with curry based horchata (sounds funny but sooo worth it). The bartender/owner was kind and easy to talk to. Music was also great.

This is the peak speakeasy experience and my favorite in all of Montreal. Their specialization in tequila and mezcal is so exceptional that even those that don’t enjoy tequila or mezcal will appreciate the menu.
I came here years ago and was blown away by the quality of the cocktail, extensive tequila and mezcal selection, environment, and fantastic service. We come back every summer and always have a great experience - and you will too.
(Can you tell I love cocktails?)

Beautiful bar in old Montreal. Their drink selection was amazing. As a fan of mezcal and tequila, they definitely know how to prepare a drink. The staff was friendly and fun to speak with. I am amazed at the drinks they served; you can tell the amount of preparation and dedication they pour into their menu. Most definitely will come back again on my next trip to Montreal. Space is intimate and welcoming.

Well executed speakeasy featuring a developed cocktail menu and house DJ's. Some seating available but mostly standing room. Staff is cool. Great nightlife destination overall.

I’ve never tasted a better tasting spicy margarita than I have here and quite honestly I’ll probably never taste one as good ever again. 10/10 vibes. 10/10 drinks. 10/10 experience. I didn’t catch the owner’s name but he kills the drinks and he explained the science behind it all and I’m still in awe by it. If you’re in Montreal you have to come in for an amazing speakeasy experience!
