Maelstrøm Saint-Roch

NB: Comment below refers to going there before 6-7 PM, cannot comment on having a drink there in the evening. Quick impression: This place is all looks and trend but absolutely soulless. It looks like a clothing ad for a hipster millenial fashion brand. Half the clients had a lumber shirt and/or beanie but I suspect 50% clients are students. It's cool if you're a trendy hipster bar at night, but maybe tweak the playlist AND VOLUME to fit the time of day. Also, overpriced because clearly you absorb their decoration tab, but nonetheless their tables don't stand upright and I had to shim two of them with folded paper.

They master the art of combining a place for work/study, relaxation and fun ! The coffees are as good as the cocktails. They do not have food. The decoration is nice. It is small and it has a limited number of sockets so go early if you want to work. Be aware that if it is a warm day, it will be extremely hot and stuffed as there is limited airing. They sometimes have live music entertainment and otherwise the background music is great old classics ! A wonderful tiny place.

Great place, bartenders & cocktails. Diverse choice of gin tonic, you definitively should try one before trying anything else. Enjoy this relaxing place!

A hidden gem of the city for cocktails. Great ambience combined with knowledgeable staff. I described what I liked and I had several drinks that were well balanced and flavourful.
