Le Lab

Nous avons passé quelques heures à cet endroit. C’est un petit bar intéressant. L’ambiance était pas mal ce soir là, mais, on était tôt. C’est un peu cher et surfait.

I have to say the drinks are really good, but the service was terrible (it could have been a new waitress, but still…). It took at least 30 – 40 mins before someone came to take our order. We never got refills on water; yes I know it’s a bar but when the glasses are empty, there’s a problem.

Si vous vous sentez d’humeur à de nouvelles expériences, c est la place.
Des cocktails orignaux auxquels même les esprits les plus fou n aurait pas pensé!
Des mélanges incroyable qui se mari avec harmonie dans votre bouche.
Si vous êtes d’humeur aux découvertes gustatives un soir, rendez-​vous là bas pour un ou deux (trois, quarte, cinq, etc…) verres pour pimenter une journée un peu morose!

I can’t explain it, you can only experience it. More amazing than anything you’ve experienced. Be smart and take the recommendations.

Bonne place pour les cocktails! Beaucoup de choix et les barman se feront un plaisir de vous conseiller!

BRILLIANT! This is my new fave bar in Montréal, hands down. I’ve been wanting to come here for months, and finally had the chance. I’m not sure I’ll go anywhere else again.
It’s all about the craft of cocktail mixing at Le Lab, which well-​informed servers and bartenders take great pride in here. I’ve now had Le Lab cocktails that blow the socks off any cocktail I’ve ever had, anywhere.
Extreme creativity goes into crafting these liquid delights, not only in the combination of exquisite ingredients, but also in the naming and presentation.
Let me give a few divine examples:
CHUPACABRA (named after a frightening creature of Latin American fame that eats children) — Comes thick and bloody-​looking in a martini glass — Beet syrup, grapefruit bitters, chipotle tabasco, egg white, lime, curacao Pierre Ferrand and Cazadores tequila
Taste: ***** (impeccable)
UNION PACIFIC (for cross-​continent travelers like me) — Comes in a low champagne glass, perfect for making toasts — Cardamom and curry bitters, Old Timer tonic syrup, lime, mandarin and Pisco (a Chilean liquor)
Taste: **** (Perfect if you love a punchy cardamom and curry taste — delightfully sweet and bitter together)
RENAISSANCE (for elegant ladies — they say, «Remembering a pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Miracles in Saronna…») — comes in a low champagne glass with a hot pink orchid propped against the side (orchid is edible) — Lavender bitters, China China amaro, Thyme Bigallet and Di Saronno Amaretto
Taste: ***** (delicate, balanced, miraculous really)
CALAMITY JESS (a true mouthful of magic) — Comes in a low glass with a snifter turned upside down and holding in the liquor steam that accumulates after the drink has been lit aflame — Peach and vanilla bitters, cherry syrup, water, Benedictine and Jim Beam Black bourbon — the magic is in the first inhalation of steam that’s been captured by the snifter, which you lift off and inhale before your first sip
Taste: ***** (pure witchcraft)
Also, dears — FLAMBE SHOTS
The COULEUR CAFE is some serious delicious action. It requires a minor tutorial before you are allowed to consume it. You must sip it with a straw slid into the flaming liquid, because, well –flaming beards– and ringlets otherwise. This is epic-​ally delicious — Tia Maria, Amarula and Absinthe. Taste: *****
I could go on, but that’s a small sampling of the beautiful cocktail paradise that exists here. There is a massive, well-​designed booklet of a booze menu that includes no less than 13 types of absinthe, an extremely decked out gin selection, nearly two full pages of whiskeys, a good selection of local beers, rums and tequilas and mescals, nonalcoholic mocktails for the pregnant ladies, as well as a small selection of their own handcrafted syrups (ie. Hell’s Ginger, Tiki 1930, Tropical BBQ, etc) — I will be picking up one of those treasures the next time I’m there, which likely won’t be too long from now.
This is an extraordinarily long review, but this is an extraordinary bar, a true mixologists’ dream.
Tip: everybody in the know wants to come here. Call ahead to reserve a table if you’re smart!
Beautiful interior and cushy décor. Very classy. If you like dressing up, this is your chance. Otherwise, casual is ok. But, this is a perfect place to live out a fantasy.
PS — they also have a small but refined selection of table snacks, too, if you’re feeling nibbly.

C’est cher. Très cher même. Mais c’est une expérience unique car un des rare endroit à servir de l’absinthe et aillant une clientèle plus mature. Donc, excellent pour une date.

Endroit très sympa, bien situé, juste à coté du Parc Lafontaine, en plein cœur du plateau!
Les cocktails sont vraiment originaux (gingembre, absinthe, concombre, etc.) et très bons, et la serveuse pourra très bien vous conseiller!
Il y a un 6@8 qui vaut la peine pour les prix, sur certains cocktails
A l’intérieur, c’est tout noir, il y a quand même beaucoup de places assises
Une bonne place pour passer un bon moment entre amis!
A essayer!

let me tell ya. this place was ALL i could talk about after my trip to Montréal. everybody i’ve talked to, i always had to briefly mention Le Lab to introduce this place to all my friends.
The drinks were amazing! strong and to the point! great selection on the menu and such amusing descriptions! and get this… a WHOLE page menu for shots with FLAMES! oh.em.gee. i know. i am a huge sucker for novelty… but really, who wouldn’t want a little spark on their drink??! i think you have to sit at the bar for this but the presentation is sooo intriguing! i was mesmerized by all the bartenders’ tricks! lol
really fun lounge to chill at~ everybody looked like they were having a good time. but you HAVE to claim your spot early on the night especially on the weekends. the place isn’t huge and sometimes you might even have to get cozy with your neighbors. i still recommend visiting this place when you’re in town~ can’t wait to return! :)

Nice small, speakeasy type of bar. It has amazingly creative drinks (so if that’s your thing, you will definitely want to come here). We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the bartender prepare drinks. Some are quite elaborate!
We had been told that the bartenders do a «fire show», with tossing fire bottles and getting the crowd riled up but apparently that is only on Fri/​Sat so be aware. We came on a Sun after Christmas and it was pretty quiet.

Un très bon bar à cocktails! Je suis arrivée vers 22h un vendredi avec mon copain et il n’y avait pas de place, mais le proprietaire est venu nous recevoir et nous a dit que surement il y aurai des places dans pas longtemps (et c’etait vrai). Il y a une place dans l’entrée pour laisser les manteaux. Le ménu est vraiment sympa, pour tous les goûts! Après une vingtaine de minutes on s’est assis dans une très bonne place. Les cocktails étaient très bons et avec une bonne quantité d’alcool. À minuit le serveur a commencé a faire un show avec les bouteilles et du feu et c’était vraiment impressionant! C’est un peu cher, mais ça vaut vraiment le coup. On est allés pour avoir une date romantique et on a passé une très bonne soirée! Finalement le proprietaire est venu pour nous dire au revoir et on a parlé un peu avec lui, et il était vraiment sympa. Le staff était aussi très gentil avec nous. :-)

Excellent drinks, great service, and a cool atmosphere. We visited on our last night in Montréal in mid October and had an early flight, so we only had a couple drinks. I started with the Jerky Lab Jack, which involved a tiny clothes line, fire, beef jerky, Jack Daniels, some kind of BBQ essence, more fire, and pizzaz. Tony, the bartender was very nice and we were able to chat for a bit as it was a slow Sunday night.
We had a few other drinks, of which I don’t remember the names… because as I said, we had a few other drinks. All were good and unique. Tony also worked on a new drink, trying to find a new drink of the month, he let us try. All in all, a fun experience on our final evening and I would return on a busier night for some more drinks!

Yes it is not cheap. Yes you have so much cool drinks to select so you will always wonder if you chose the right one but that is it it a place were you pay to get the best quality liqueur (and you do) to get a very interesting and tasty cocktails (and you do) and you pay for a unique experience (and you get it). Where else would you see barmen dressed in an old European way mixing amazing drinks and making you alcohol taste buds reach multiple Orgasm’s? The answer is here so what are you waiting for?

J’adore les cocktails du Lab.
Alors qu’il n’y avait pas vraiment de places ce dernier vendredi soir (je sais, c’est pas une surprise), les cocktails sont vraiment délicieux et bien que je n’y connaisse fichtrement peu de chose en bartending… semblent être fait avec beaucoup d’expertise. J’avoue préférer y aller lorsque c’est un peu moins crowdé, mais en somme j’aime bien cette place.
Prix un peu élevé mais bien justifié dans mon opinion.

When you’re on vacation for just four days, you generally don’t end up going to the same bar twice (especially when that bar is a $ 7 Über ride from your hotel). That’s not the case when it comes to Le Lab – this was the perfect spot for a night of cocktails that we were happy to visit twice during our short trip!
Our first time in was on a Sunday around 9 pm, and my friend and I were the only two people in the bar. The manager was friendly and gave us excellent drink suggestions, and every single one of the drinks was on point. I don’t remember the names, but I had a peach cocktail that tasted extremely fresh, and my friend had a scotch-​based cocktail that was hands down one of the beautiful drinks I have ever seen. We came back on our last night and were served by Tony, who has officially made my list of top 5 bartenders ever. We started the night off with a couple of drinks off the menu. I had the High Desert Princess, which was delicious. After drink #1, Tony told us he was done with menus and proceeded to make us unique drinks that were among some of the best I’ve ever had (high praise – I think I’ve been to dozens of cocktail bars in NYC, Paris, London, and Atlanta). Not only were they tasty, they were also visually stunning, adorned with all kinds of crazy things like port floats (yum) and pretty flowers. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in Montréal, even for just a day. Prices are pretty reasonable too…3 cocktails came to about $ 40 (including tip), much less than I’ve played elsewhere!

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! The service there is above and beyond and the drinks are just as amazing as the staff.
I came here twice on my birthday vacation to Montréal and each time it was fantastic. We got there at last call the first time and they were kind enough to still let us come in for a shot and beer. Tony even sang happy birthday to me. We finished our ABC flaming fire shot and said we would be back tomorrow.
We returned the next evening before our dinner plans. We ended up staying much longer than expected. It was was so hard to leave Jessie and her amazing drinks and personality. She would ask our favorite spirits and make the most delicious and creative drinks I had seen (my bf and I are both bartenders too). Both Tonys were super nice and funny, and they kept us very entertained as well. Taller tony had even remembered my name and it was my birthday from the night before and proceeded to sing happy birthday again. It really made me smile and feel really special.
I can’t thank the staff and their excellent service enough. You guys made my birthday unbelievably special! I can’t wait to come back again!

Cet endroit a tout pour charmer les amateurs de cocktails originaux. Belle ambiance, décor sombre et serveur (se)s habillé(e)s de manière très chic et glamour à nous faire croire un décordes années 50. C’est un petit espace donc il se peut qu’on se trouve entre deux tables très serrés à entendre de près la conversation des autres clients, mais les délicieux mélanges d’alcools proposés sur le menu et la musique électro-​swing vous feront passer tout de même un très bon moment.

This place has a «speakeasy» vibe. Once behind the curtain, you enter a cool hib vibe. Bartenders are super friendly and accommodating. We got a couple of drinks that were delicious. I had one with ginger beer and grapefruit and the hubby had the beef jerky whisky that was served in a cool way. Behind the bar, there are lots of bitters (that they also sell) and lots of cool ingredients. If it’s not too busy, some of the bartenders juggle bottles and keep you entertained. If you are really lame and need WIFI, they offer it for free! (We needed it to get directions to dinner)

cute little cocktail lounge, spaces are rather limited so don’t go there more than 4 or 5 people. You can get some pretty cool drinks made by the bartender where they will do crazy tricks but expect to pay up to 50 $ for one of those. The cocktails and drinks are a bit pricey at about 10 – 20 $ depending on what you get, but the ingredients they use are pretty unique and I doubt you could find their selection of drinks anywhere else in the city. They serve food but only little snacks that wont be enough to fill you up.

Second bar I visited from Montréal and went mostly for the Jerky Lab Jack! The bar was also celebrating National Tequila Day (yay!) so there was a deal on $ 3 tequila shots! So in order, we had two tequila shots, and the Lab Jack and the Zombie cocktail (typically made for two people but I accepted this challenge).
Tequila shots didn’t come with salt, but at least it came with the lime. Nothing new about these shots compared to what I could’ve ordered in the States, but the deal was hard to pass up.
The Lab Jack was ‘tres super cool’ with its little pulley holding the beef jerky! The jerky was thick-​cut, and from where we sat, we heard it being loudly tenderized at the bar. I wish we had more jerky, only because it was seasoned and tenderized so well without being overly-​salty like most store-​bought jerkies are. The liquor was served in a what I believe was a real copper cup, and VERY strong and bitter, so if you’re a fan of dark liquor with a tolerance for a lingering aftertaste, you are considered tough in my book. Needless to say, really neat order, but I stuck with just chewing on the jerky by itself while my boyfriend finished off the drink.
The Zombie was LARGE, and is originally made as a cocktail for two. Beautifully presented with a flower, it’s seemingly harmless and could be seen as a juicy drink. Definitely was juicy, but alcohol content was way up there and within minutes, I felt my buzz. If you’re a regular drinker and want to have a good time without taking bitter shots and/​or spending too much money, sit on this drink yourself and you’ll feel great by the end of it.
Overall, service was excellent (shout out to the waiters for being accommodating with my broken French), drinks were well-​worth the money, and the only thing I can really complain about was how dark the whole place was, but I guess it was going for that cozy, underground-​bar feeling!

I was in Montréal on vacation looking for an awesome spot to hit on a Saturday night with the family. I saw the awesome review and figured i would check it out for myself.
If every bar held their standards to the level this place had, the world would be a better place. Four of us came in around 11 pm on Saturday night and got one of the best seats in the house right across from the bar. I immediately loved the décor, it was very dimly lit and cosy. The fabrics on one wall, the brick on another, the display of bottles behind the bar, the entire design was fantastic. The bar is extermely eye catching and the drinks did not disppaoint. You are paying anywhere from $ 10-​$ 16 a drink but they are fantastic cocktails that you can tell some love was put into making them.
We did not try any of the food but we had about 6 drinks total and everyone was great. I immediately can spot a good bar when before even taking your order for a cocktail they bring you a glass of water. Not something everyone cares for but its responsible, and personally i like it.
The bar tenders will spin and throw bottles, use fire, and do big swinging pours which is awesome to watch and it makes the entire experience a bit more exciting then your traditional bar.
I would absolutely recommend this place to a friend. Great drinks, great expereince, no complaints at all.

What a fantastic bar! I had the «Lemon is the Sky» recommended by the bartender as her favorite drink and it was incredible. Tasted like I was drinking a lemon meringue pie. The bar was just dark enough, the music was just loud enough, the service was just attentive enough; truly a great experience for a unique late night cocktail.

Le Lab was on my bar bucket list and I can say that my life is now complete. Once you push the red curtains guarding the entrance aside and walk into the bar you’re immediately transported to another era. Dim red lights are illuminating this Moulin Rouge-​like bar, the bartenders are taking shots while playing with fire, and the brouhaha is pouring into your ears — what a time to be alive.
Once seated, the menu was handed to us along with a glass of water. Exactly what we needed since Le Lab was our third bar stop and dehydration from the alcohol was kicking in? Anyways, my pick was the Tiger Thai Collins which was probably the best cocktail I’ve ever had. The coconut added a creamy richness, the lime gave the drink a citrus zing, and finally, the hot pepper delivered the knockout punch into heaven. It was so good that I wanted to try other drinks but it was time for our next bar stop.
Expertly well thought drinks accompanied with crazy butt clenching pyromaniac stunts, a definite return. Truly a must try bar if you’re in Montréal.

After much research, I felt like this was THE bar at the forefront of mixology in Montréal. They had the most promising menu and reviews, and despite a mishap with a lost cab + the bitter cold, we made our trek here. And we weren’t disappointed.
Past the velvet curtains, you find yourself in a dim-​lit, dark-​paneled room with suddenly chatty French-​Canadians, mostly late 20s to 30-​somethings (+ older), thanks to liquid courage. Small talk might not be their strong suit, but tame dancing definitely is (no twerking here) avec le DJ de la nuit.
Their menu is a tad overwhelming, but you can’t go wrong with most of them. They have everything from creamier drinks e.g. Lemon in the Sky, classics e.g. martinis, shareable punch bowls, and even mocktails. However, if you want a show, you want one of their flaming shots/​drinks in the back pages. We quickly bonded with Eddy, one of three bartenders working that night (and my high school writing teacher doppelgänger), and he introduced us to the ABC — absinthe, bacardi, chartreuse — which involved two glasses, maniacal (just kidding) shaking, and some fire, of course.
It seems that I’ll be back in town sooner than I anticipated, so I will definitely be ordering the jerky lab jack and apple crumble shot this time!
Notes:
— They have happy hour! select drinks for $ 8 before 8PM (normally $ 14)

Pas possible de mettre 3.5 donc 3.
Les cocktails sont bons mais parfois un peu plus cher que dans certains autres bars. Cependant la qualité est là donc cela n’est pas trop si dérangeant au final. Le service est bien.
Par contre un point négatif à mon sens et qu’ils né prennent pas débit et qu’on peut seulement faire 3 factures pour une table. Pas très pratique quand on est un gros groupe.
Et puis petit aléa on avait la clim qui a commencé à nous couler dessus, au moins cela nous a rafraîchi :D

Enfin un bar à cocktail digne de ce nom sur Montréal !
Le bar est immense, la sélection des bouteilles est top, le service est impeccable, la tenue des barmans est soignée.
La carte des cocktails est très complète, les cocktails sont variés, y’en a pour tous les goûts ! Et même pour toutes les bourses, avec les premiers cocktails décrits qui sont en HH (non pas Heil Hitler, Happy Hour ! pourriture fasciste).
Et c’est sur ces premiers cocktails, que je vous conseille vivement le Tic&Tac Sour ! Whisky et liqueur de noisette façon sour, un régal, très bien balancé, top !
La petite marguerite est aussi très sympa dans les cocktails à petit prix.
Sinon dans la collection Tiki, le Pain Killer est bien réussi. à conseiller donc.
Bien dommage que ce bar soit excentré, car pour moi, il reste la référence pour les bars à cocktails de Montréal, un exemple à suivre.

A great artisinal cocktail bar in Montréal.
The space looks a bit like a speakeasy and has wine barrel covers and casual seating for lounging and drinking. The stars though are the friendly servers and the great drinks.
I love great cocktails and the ones at Le Lab were creative, delicious and strong.
Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable and although English wasn’t her super strong suit, she was personable and recommended the right drinks galore. Favorites of the night were the Nirvana and the Jerky Lab Jerk.
It’s a popular spot and really started our night off. We learned a few French phrases, got a list of spots to hit for both food and merriment and continued our fun at the faraway Joe Beef.
Le Lab accepts credit cards.

Décoration sympa style trendy, dj samedi soir, bar avec un nombre décoiffant de bouteilles.
A tester, staff conseille tres bien, la carte se veut trop philosophique et du coup on né voit pas les cocktails proposés.
Le son est beaucoup trop fort on né s entend pas parler il faut hurler
Pas assez de barman temps d attente pour avoir un verre au moins 25 min pour une table de 2, 45 pour table de 6, dommage

J’adore les cocktails, donc le Lab faisait partie de ma wishlist. J’ai essayé la place 2 fois, une fois entre amoureux, c’était ok, mais un peu trop tranquille et manqué d’ambiance. Puis j’ai essayé en groupe pour la semaine du cocktail et on s’est plus amusés, la place était pleine à craquer, le staff semblait complètement débordé. Donc 2 expériences assez opposées. Je le conseillerais plus en groupe. La carte est définitivement intéressante, on retrouve des ingrédients vraiment originaux dans nos cocktails. Le staff est là pour vous conseiller afin de vous orienter correctement. Les prix sont dans la moyenne, on né va clairement pas là pour se saouler, mais pour déguster.

I was shocked that we managed to get a seat after waiting only thirty minutes; we came at 9 pm on a Saturday night, so of course the line was nearly spilling out the door. Our server didn’t handle the crowd very well, and it took a long time for us to get our order in and drinks when they were ready. I made the mistake of ordering the Zombie goblet, which is listed under a punch bowl. I chalked up the hefty $ 25 price tag to what I thought would be a generous serving, but was only slightly bigger than a pint. It tasted exactly as you would expect of the strongest liquors thrown together: not great, but if you have the money and want to get drunk, go for it.
My friend got the strange jerky lab jack, which came out with a piece of jerky on a mini-​pulley. It was better than the zombie for sure. Everyone else also got flaming shots. Fire seems to be a key theme here. I had a bad seat, but the bartenders started doing some kind of flamethrowing show while we were there that everyone ooh-​ed and ah-​ed over. Everyone else, my friends included, seemed to be having a great time, so I figure four stars is fair. I was just disappointed that we kept hearing this was The Best Bar in all of Montréal, and it didn’t quite live up to that.

What a great bar in Montréal. We came here on a Sunday night for a few drinks and it was well worth the visit. On a Sunday night it was very easy to get a seat and have a good conversation. The menu is huge with a lot of unique mix drinks.
Drinks:
— Jerky Lab Jack which definitely hit the smokey and woody pallet
— Paradise non alcoholic which was refreshing and quenching
Likes:
— atmosphere
— service
— selection of beverages
— location, directly across from the park
Dislikes:
— prices
Overall I would come back again!!!

Wow what a lounge! My hubs and i while on vacation made it a point to do and see as much as we could. In doing so we probably drank more than we should, as we walked around the city we would stumble upon a place that looked cool so we would take a break and have a drink.
Le Lab was one of those places. we walked in on a Thursday at 10pm. I was so surprised that we were the only people in the bar. That lasted for about an hour and then it became a popping tiki-​esque lounge. The cocktails we had were out of this world awesome. The choice of bitters alone was staggering. Ever flavor imaginable, which made for some pretty terrific cocktails. My favorite drink had to be the jerky Lab Jack, featuring a base of Jack Daniels, BBQ bitters or mist, and a small clothes line featuring a sizable piece of beef jerky.
I also had the pleasure of having an award winning mint julep made by the man who won the title. It was absolutely phenomenal and exactly the cocktail to enjoy amid the humidity of summer.
While there we also had the opportunity to talk to one of the owners/​investors, Daniel. Who was one of the sweetest and coolest dudes we met while on our travels. He filled us in on the top places to grab a drink. We talked about the differences between the city of Montréal and Toronto. The latter may just be our future home.
I am so glad we stopped in, and if you ever find yourself in the area you should stop in too!

super bar les cocktails sont bon un peu chère, mais ça va. Belle animation que font des serveurs des serveurs avec du feu. La nourriture est bien.

Si vous souhaitez passer un bon moment avec votre blonde ou vos amis, c’est la place, allez y en semaine car les week end sont très achalandés! Les cocktails sont fait avec amour par des mixologues talentueux! et que dire de ceux ci! delicieux!

Simplement dit, j’adore Le Lab. À prime à bord, il faut savoir que je suis une fan finie des cocktails et de la mixologie. C’est d’ailleurs pourquoi j’aime autant cette place. Chaque bar staff connaît vraiment bien son métier et traite son oeuvre comme un art. Ils ont développé leur propre gamme de sirops simples et ils ont probablement la plus grande sélection de spiritueux et variété de bitters en ville! Outré ça, j’aime beaucoup leur décor plus sombre et riche qui me donne vraiment l’impression d’être ailleurs lorsque j’y suis.
Bref, une vraie équipe passionnée qui sait toujours te faire une concoction à ton goût et qui sont heureux de t’expliquer comment chaque saveur se complémente et s’accompagne.

Je m’ennuie tant de ce bar qui était juste à côté de mon ancien appartement!
Leurs cocktails étaient créatifs et il y avait assez régulièrement de la nouveauté pour que même les habitués aient toujours quelque chose à découvrir.
J’ai même déjà bu un cocktail flambé dans lequel on devait faire griller une guimauve!
Pourquoi seulement trois étoiles alors? Le service médiocre de l’endroit! Lorsqu’on s’assoit à une table, quelqu’un vient nous voir et prendre notre commande… mais il y a toujours trop peu de staff sur le plancher pour la masse de clients. C’est toujours plutôt long se faire servir là-​bas… mais la dernière fois que j’y suis allée, ça a pris (sans exagération) 1h20 avant que quelqu’un vienne nous voir!
Si vous voulez un conseil, allez-​y quand même pour les cocktails, mais allez-​y un soir de semaine plutôt tranquille pour prendre un verre, mais évitez les vendredis et samedis si vous voulez boire plus qu’un drink dans votre soirée.

Je n’étais pas allée au Lab depuis un bon bout de temps et j’étais bien contente de célébrer la belle journée ensoleillée d’hier avec un 77 Sunset Strip. Ananas, rhum, vodka, gin, lime, citron, pomme de grande… un vrai party luau pour mes papilles!
On dirait bien que la thématique du moment est les îles tropicales (style Hawaï) et c’était reflété dans le décor, les cocktails aux menus, et surtout les concoctions spéciales créée que pour ce moment de soleil. Ça a eu comme effet de me faire dire «J’irais bien à Hawaï» au moins deux ou trois fois en l’espace d’une heure!
J’ai terminé la soirée avec un cocktail non-​alcoolisé (un espèce de piña colada) qui était surprenant, délicieux, et même remplissant! Il était tellement savoureux que ça me donne le goût de devenir conductrice designee plus souvent, tant que la soirée se passé à Le Lab.

J’avais lu sur le Lab sur Unilocal,et ça m’intéressait vraiment de le découvrir! L’occasion né s’était tout simplement pas présentée, jusqu’à un certain samedi soir, alors que je n’avais pas une grande envie de sortir. Lorsque ma gang a dit où ils voulaient aller, j’ai retrouvé ma motivation. Je n’aurais pas voulu manquer cela!
Arrivés sur la rue Rachel, nous avons eu peur que ce soit fermé, car de l’extérieur, c’est très discret… Mais, étant un samedi, nous avons quand même tenté notre chance, et c’était bel et bien ouvert. Ouf! Ce n’était vraiment pas trop plein, et avec l’ambiance feutrée, la musique de fond et le bar avec une sélection sans fin, nous nous sommes toute de suite sentis à l’aise. Ce confort est aussi grâce à notre merveilleux serveur, Eddy, qui nous a bien expliqué le concept du Lab et son offre (plus de 800 cocktails). Il a su faire d’excellentes recommandations aux indécis. Les cocktails sont faits de manière extrêmement professionnelle, et c’est un plaisir de regarder les barmans travailler. Nous avons été surtout impressionnés par martinis refroidis à l’azote liquide… WOW!
Personnellement, j’ai coûté et adoré le Pisco Sour et le Jay’s Basilic. Le Japanese Gimlet a aussi été bien accueilli par notre groupe.
On peut dire que le Lab est un bar pour découvrir, et pas nécessairement pour fêter, dépendamment de votre budget, car un cocktail de qualité a le prix qui vient avec!!!

Pour les amateurs de cocktails, c’est la place ! Belle ambiance feutrée !

Super bonne place pour déguster des cocktails entre amis, y’a vraiment beaucoup de choix d’alcool et pas commun.
L’endroit idéal pour des soirées de gens de labo!
