Whisky Café

Montréal


Cuban cigars and fine whiskies are partners in crime at this classy 1930s-styled joint, hidden near the industrial sector of the Mile End. The well-ventilated cigar lounge is separated from the main bar, which stocks 150 Scotch whiskeys, plus wines, ports and tasting trios. Snacks range from duck rillettes to Belgian chocolates. Music is as sexy-smooth as the leather chairs.

Daily happy hour is 7pm with selected whiskey and wine at $6.
