Hidden behind Maison Cloakroom, a made-to-measure menswear shop in a striking century-old building on Montreal’s Golden Mile, is a chic 25-seat bar. Fittingly, it’s known for bespoke cocktails made with the precision and fine craftmanship of a seasoned tailor. As with top tailoring, the bar offers a technical yet invisible approach to high-quality ingredients and preparations, including three house-made amari and several liqueurs. For example, it uses a rotary evaporation process to extract delicate flavours such as lime leaf or pandan, and makes around 30 house tinctures. Yet, all guests see are delicious drinks. The bar has been collecting vintage spirits for nearly a decade, with a list strong in amari and vermouth, plus a grand bourbon selection. As a result, the personalized classics made for each guest are a cut or two above your average no-menu drink experience. Bar staff get one-on-one training from co-owner and mixologist Andrew Whibley in how to size up a perfect fit for each guest’s particular thirst.
