Great service and vibes. Must see Jonathan at the bar. He will take care of you. Tell him DoorDash sent you :)
The drinks are AMAZING. They have a massive selection of rums and their pina colada was awesome. The food was really good. I had the cubano and my friend had the fish tacos which were both great. The churros were good too, but the chocolate rum sauce made them great. The server was great; really nice and had good recommendations. I’ll come back here any time I’m in Montreal.
The only reason I'm giving any points here is thanks to one waiter from India💐, who was sincerely attentive and very pleasant. The other staff seemed worried about everything except the client's convenience and impression. We were asked to leave the interior terrace because they decided to close it, as it’s apparently " the rule" not allowed to be used 🫣. One server even followed clients outside to tell them it wasn’t allowed to smoke while having their drinks with them 🕵️👮🥷 in the middle of the night of course it is "the rule"! The music was pretty nice, we liked it, hits from different times and the prices were reasonable, but if it weren’t for the exceptional service of the Indian waiter, the score would be much lower. He’s truly the one making this place accommodating🙏. The received response sounds more like a no, sorry, rather than a candid comment. So, do you mean that your staff is "hunting" anyone who is drinking something from their glass in front of your entrance (outside your premises) to adhere to provincial law? Is that still within your jurisdiction? Because, in fact, the customers were reproached while they were outside your terrace and premises. On the other hand, a group of people standing right in front of the entrance was drinking beer from bottles freely. This is confusing. Please clarify.Thank you.
Now I understand I went a rhumerie and ordered a pint but regardless 10$ for this tiny pint is insane. Also I get it inflation is bad but common this glass is a travesty
Great cocktails! Reasonably priced and made strong! Lively bar with a nice back patio. We only popped in for a cocktail but the food looked great and would definitely go back to try. They seem to have random game nights, as they had a music trivia going on when we stopped in. They have an extensive drink menu with a focus on rum and a good selection of craft cocktails. Would definitely come back for a longer visit and to try some food!
Awesome service, variety of rums, nice ambiance Fair prices and promos
One of my favourite places for fish tacos! Great drinks and a cool tropical atmosphere in the restaurant and at the back partially covered terrace
I had been there three times in last couple of months with friends and we enjoyed it a lot every single time. The barmaid who did our cocktails knows what he is doing. The DJ who did the music made it our night very enjoyable. It was the same DJ the last time and this time it was karaoke and we had a blast. The ambiance is very nice too. Only problem I wish it was a bit bigger place. Other than that, great place. Keep the great job!
Very nice karaoke evening on Saturday evening!
Perfect pre drink bar
The tacos were excellent, the service attentive and the tequila stunning.
A great atmosphere! The staff and the boss are incredible! If you want to have a great evening, don t hesitate, this is the place to go!!
Top staff, perfect atmosphere, enough to spend a good evening accompanied by good alcohol and top staff!
A Bar dedicated to Rum, is small but has a wide Range of Rums. Including some Single Cask Rum from all over the World. Some are Expensive .
Excellent service, food and drinks!
had a wonderfull time great food great service Vegetarian options: vegan tacos Food : 5/5 |
I recommend that the waiter, when serving a good rum, a good gin or a good aged whiskey at $1 per ml, show his customers what he is serving and bring his bottle to the terrace to serve.
No matter this place, having been there often, now its No matter, its kaariocer on Saturday evening, LOL!!!
Nice place to share a good time. The terrace behind is great and the service is friendly and gives good advice. The only downside is the dishes offered, for my part I took a chicken taco for $18, a ridiculous quantity for the price... too bad!
Very poor service, few orders were possible. We were served gin & tonics that tasted like water, they made us more, but received them after 30 minutes. The Karaoke MC was just playing his friends songs. Very unfortunate.
very good atmosphere at the blind test, incredible white sangria
Its always a great pleasure to have a michelada at Barraca! Impeccable service, excellent music.
Great evening, tacos are excellent. Very large assortment of rum, tequila and mesqual. Jonathan was able to impress us with his mixology expertise, having created cocktails to our liking without being on the menu. Guaranteed return. A big plus is that the music is just loud enough without having to shout at each other to hear each other.
Great choices of rhum and tequilla. Good food. Amazing service by Jonathan the bartender.
The servers are experts in their products. The food is not varied, but what is on the menu is good. We had a good time, the terraces are pleasant. However, the service is a little slow. If you are in a hurry this may not be the place to go. Parking: Its not easy to park with all the stickers in the area and all the one-way streets. You have to be patient and go in circles often and be willing to walk a little.
Very good place to discover quality rums. The staff as well as the manager are outstanding. I go to this place a few times a year and each time we are surprised by the quality of the cocktails.
Amazing
Incredible service and welcome and a bowl of water for my casserole then the best Indian wheat with a delicious abracadabran recipe to ask for again you will lick your fingers and good until the last drop.... And the beer an incredible menu of choice as tasty as it is delicious, thanks to our beautiful waitress and the friendly owners see you soon
Great place to go for musical quize or a karioke night, super awesome experienced staff and a clean environment, food is limited but a huge of Rum, Tequila and Mescal, anglo friendly but its mostly a french bar.
Very beautiful and good place!!!
Slow service and not much food options
A limitless choice of rum, a real punch. But the tacos are a little too dry, we are told there is sauce, where is it? Ceviche is more guacamole than ceviche. On the other side, a great and super friendly waitress, who recommends her rums. Music the way we like it, it s personal. But a good experience in the end
The best tacos I have ever eaten!!
Yea c est fun
Alexia is so beautiful and her service is incredible, I will definitely go back! Excellent bartender and very friendly
The atmosphere was nice, the music wasnt too loud at first, we were able to have a quiet conversation... I stayed a little for the karaoke and it was great. There is a terrace to the front and an open space also to the rear. The service was kind and courteous. I loved the double mojito, it was delicious and reasonably priced. I didnt order anything to eat, but the menu looked appetizing, maybe next time.
Very good cocktails
Nice relax place
Literally the best mojitos in the world!!!!
One day, **the Barraca** organized an absurd dance competition. Participants had to imitate dancing fruits. The first candidate, **Mr. Banana**, started with enthusiasm. He made jerky movements, twisted in all directions and ended up rolling on the ground. The audience applauded, thinking that he had successfully captured the essence of the dancing banana. Then, **Madame Pineapple** entered the scene. She waddled gracefully, arms in the air, as if she were growing a crown. The spectators were perplexed. Was it really a pineapple or a diva in the middle of an existential crisis? Finally, **Mr. Watermelon** appeared. He started spinning around with his arms outstretched, shouting, Im a watermelon in juicer mode! The audience burst out laughing. No one knew if it was the watermelon or the rum that was making his head spin. Finally, the jury declared **Mr. Watermelon** the winner. He received a trophy in the shape of a half-full glass, filled with sangria. Everyone toasted, and the party continued until early morning. And this is how **Barraca** became famous for its fruity dances and exotic cocktails. If you pass by, dont forget to say hello to **Mr. Watermelon** in juicer mode!
Very good, very nice indeed, yes.
Karaoke doesnt make everyone sing.
I came especially for the karaoke. And when I asked for music, the DJs (or we can call them that) didnt even want to play it because they liked it. If you are a woman, oh yes, no problem, you will even be entitled to music. the tease! Honestly staff to see again! Never again...
It is a nice place for all those party-lovers who like to drink, dance and enjoy. I couldnt find anything to eat but I didnt look at the menu either ...just went to see the clubbing vibes of Montreal, and I found it good. Prices are also viable, and we participated in a music trivia which was quite fun
Rum, the best alcohol there is!
One of my favorite bars in Montreal!
We went early and it was really pleasant. Drinks were good (although on the pricey side) and the food we tried was also good. But the later it was getting the more crowded and louder it became. At one point I couldnt even hear the people next to me. If you dont mind that then it is totally worth a visit!
For rum lovers, this is certainly a beautiful place. On the other hand, the choice of other drinks is rather limited. Food was good. The service was great though!
Average experience
Great ambiance and great service. Waiter forgot drinks at some point but made it up to us with some free shots.
Wow the michelada is excellent value for money. My friend from Halifax fell in love with it. Keep up the good work. 10/10
Always fun! Theau, the best server ever!!! Kind, courteous! He made sure we had a great evening :) thank you!
I would have given it 4* and a half. Sincere and constructive advice: the guacamole lacks salt and lime and the pico de galo seems to be made with a vinegar which I dont like.... BUT.... great atmosphere and GOLDEN server! 5* for Theau. Friendly and efficient! Way to go!!
The tacos are not seasoned enough but the server Théau is attentive to the customers even after his service he makes sure that everyone is satisfied!
Can t say enough good things about this place. It is a home away from home. The staff are incredible, especially Théau, he is so attentive and brings such a wonderful energy to the bar. It s impossible to feel tired or in a sad mood around him. The drinks are great, they do delicious virgin drinks too if that s where you re at. They also have really great food with very fresh ingredients. The music is always something you can dance to and Théau is always willing to dance with you if you need a partner. Saturday nights are karaoke and Tuesday nights are musical quiz night and both are such a great ambiance!
I give it a 4 star because there is never room on the terrace, it is very small. nevertheless the prices are very reasonable I recommend the pineapple cocktail it is excellent otherwise the average pitcher of Sangrias and definitely dont take the Micheladas for real unless you are disgusted or completely peter (and then again)
We reserved a table for 2 during the AYCE Tacos evening at 8pm There were no paper menus so we had to go online to see it We waited 20 ish minutes before someone came to take our order (we didnt even get water glasses before that) Then we learn that out of the 4 AYCE tacos options, only 2 were available (and one hour later, only 1 was left - which contained pork so its neither halal nor vegetarian friendly) We finally got our first order of tacos 45 ish minutes after our arrival Apparently the reason why the kitchen was slow is because 24 hours before the restaurant got an ad by Narcity therefore they got more clients than usual so their stocks werent adapted The waiter was nice though and offered us free shots, replaced a cocktail that we didnt like for free What was also weird is that the waiters would start giving the bills to one table, and while this said table was paying, the waiters would go take the order of another table. I dont think its very polite to go back and forth between tables like that Food was decent for an 20$ AYCE except for the fact that we didnt get all of the 4 types of tacos Overall disappointed :/
Great service and ambiance, strong drinks. Food a bit above average. Not cheap but worth it for the drinks and ambiance.
Very nice place, impeccable service and good atmosphere! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Tacos
Excellent service on site and the cocktails are excellent. However, the tacos lacked seasonings.
Whats the point of a bar thats unable to take drink orders?!
Great place ! I had so much fun. Thanks to the boss who allowed me and my friends to have an unforgettable night. Thank you
All-you-can-eat taco night, we had difficulty placing three orders between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., even though the restaurant was not full.
Amazing atmosphere with a lot of drink options but very limited food menu
Went there during karaoke nights and had a great time! Ambience was amazing and drinks were well priced.
Great ambiance and a large choices of cocktails however the food/snacks option are really limited
A great place to grab a drink, they have some nice options and the service was really great. We wanted to sit outside but there was no space, however once it opened up, our server rushed over to move us, which we really appreciated. I also like the back seating, as it is not prone to smoke from walkers by, which always bothers me in terraces and is a little more private and nicely decorated. The food options were not as good, we just wanted a little snack and thought the options were limited, although for a full meal there are a lot of options.
Good service and drinks but I got scammed by the server. If you offer to pay cash, the server will say she calculated the tip for you in the final price without telling you its 18% calculated after taxes. I often pay more than 15% for good service, but the thing is, abusing my naivety is not good service.
Im surprised I didnt post a review sooner! The Barraca is for me a must when it comes to bars in Montreal, the atmosphere is always excellent, the small terrace at the back is super pleasant and the drinks are great. So far all the staff encountered on site have been kind and pleasant!
Classic bar on Mont-Royal. A complete liquor bar. The dj is off the hook! Birthday girl on the counter for a birthday song.
Cozy and rum plan to try. In a cocktail or alone. With hot Churros with a succulent rum-chocolate sauce. There arent just rums, I noticed a good list of Tequila.
Pork tacos were dry. But back padio was nice
La Barraca is a good place to taste Rums. Saturday evening is Karaoke. Little advice, come early (9 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.) because the bar fills up quite quickly and you risk not being able to get in. Karaoke starts around 10:30 p.m.
The mojitos are excellent, colds too, the place is very friendly. Unfortunately the tapas take a very long time to arrive, and we wait around an hour each time.
The tacos lacked taste, the cocktails were quite ordinary but the terrace is cool and the service was good, there is an impressive selection of rums.
Fortunately the service was pleasant ;) Sangria not very generous (alcohol and taste), patatas bravas twice too expensive for the quantity offered. Very pleasant rear terrace!
Mathilde (the wonderful waitress) is fantastic! The barraca service is second to none! Joy of living and good atmosphere, truly a place to discover! I recommend
Meh.
Good bar to have a drink, the place is nice. Not very fast service.
A great card!!!
Amazing bar!!! Theau is the best waiter, so nice and helpful! Definitely coming back thanks to him
Great place. Small but nice
I will never get tired of going there to drink. Francis is an incredible host and the waiters are very friendly. Thank you for introducing me to Rum. So the Thursday oysters were killer, so good and fresh. See you soon Francis
If you want to pay 20% min for a non-existent and very unpleasant service . No professionalism, we left after 30 minutes because we were too uncomfortable.
Very good time until a little bald guy from the South West of France started shouting at the table next to us, talking about seminal fluid
Karaoke on Saturday is always a blast, love it here! Service is excellent, the vibe is super cool!
Great cocktails, good prices and fine music.
Love this place for their Pistachio Pinacolada. Service is good and food is decent.
Did not order food.
We enjoy the oysters!! Thanks
Excellent place to do karaoke, beautiful people!
Great selection of rum. The food is ok. Great atmosphere.
Tiki atmosphere, good cocktails, very large selection of rum to taste, many of which are not easy to find elsewhere. Food wise though, its zero. I have good memories of dining here pre-COVID, nothing crazy but it did the job. We feel that the restaurant has not completely gotten back on its feet. I think everything is frozen/reheated in the microwave. Bland tacos, stale tortilla, only the accras were passable without more (at the end of February 2022, these were the only items on the menu, the others not being available). Hoping youll get back to how you were before! Recommended for a drink, but avoid eating here for the moment
Incompetent, rude bartender.
A cosy rhum bar. Since covid restrictions are off, it was quite hectic and theres some delays before we got some service /received our drinks. The drinks are good and quite strong. It was karaoke night but being on the plateau, it was all mainly French songs and not the Backstreet Boys/90-00s usual song choices
1 hour wait to receive the food with some oversights. I finally canceled what I wanted to eat. 45min to get the drinks and with some forgetting too. There was a serious shortage of staff on the floor, at the bar and in the kitchen. Even though the servers are friendly, they were overwhelmed this evening. I am very disappointed.
Great drinks, mid food. Eat somewhere else and then come here.
It was great a wide variety of rhum and delicious tacos
If you come here to taste rum, be aware that the menu is not very up to date. It should be updated to truly reflect the inventory. The staff lacks certain knowledge regarding rum. The bartender seems the most competent. Otherwise the atmosphere quickly becomes chaotic, from 8 a.m. the lights turn off and the music becomes too loud. We couldnt see anything and we couldnt hear ourselves talking. In short, if you want to taste a rum, go when it opens, thats when its the most peaceful. But for everything else its great! The cocktails are good. Eating there is good. The food is good, the morru bites are super good, the tacos too.
Drink insane
Very good atmosphere and very good Rhumerie!
Very young crowd on Thursday nights. But delicious drinks. Loved my Dark and stormy
I was last Friday, I ordered a daiquiri cocktail for $13 and I was served a drink that was almost a shot. (See photo) Well, so as not to dwell on a disappointment, I wanted to take the double or triple IPA to comfort me and well, it was a miss, there were more and it wasnt even 8 p.m. Same thing for my girlfriend who wanted a Stella Artois, they had more. Just disappointed I dont think Ill come back unless they offer real tall glasses for the cocktails.
As much dive as cocktail
Very large choice of rum, mezcal and tequila but the music is often very loud, it is not ideal if you want to chat with your friends
The cocktails are excellent, the atmosphere is really great and the welcome is very warm. The tapas are also very good
Nice atmosphere.
Its not really a karaoke bar - plays every 2 tunes - be warned
Friendly bartender and waitress. Nice little terrace at the back.
Big no matter koi big dating period to have a small plate of 3 taco even the old el passo would have done the job better
One of our favorite bars in Montreal! Saturday evenings are crazy and the atmosphere is perfect! Its a shame that for some time, the Karaoke host has changed and doesnt really play the game (like yesterday Saturday May 14) and as a result the atmosphere is not always similar from one host to another. Thank you for these good times anyway.
Lovely tika bar.. i had the dark and stormy drink .. its the best !
The service offered by a short guy that works there could definitely be better. He was insulting and had absolutely no sense of what good customer service is. I had already been cheated once by prices on the menu that differed from those shown on their website. And after receiving the kind of insulting service that guy gives , I have absolutely no desire to go back. A place to avoid, most definitely.
Bad barman, the drinks are awful, no recomendable
A very nice rum list, from a few dollars to more than $50, good advice and a few cocktails. The back terrace is covered with a few tables, good to know. The food looked pretty good too!
A very good bar that offers great cocktails! The decoration is great, the atmosphere is great.
Great bar and nice friendly staff! A place to do in the plateau!
We landed at Barraca quite by chance on a Tuesday evening and we had the pleasure of taking part in the musical quiz. Superb atmosphere, we had a blast like kids, the host (Maxime I think) is great. The mojito and tacos are good. Well come back!
Quite pleasant Until 7 p.m. Tacos for $7!! Vegetarian options: Veggie Tacos
Delicious cocktails and a great blindtest evening spent at Barraca. Dedication to Francis who started the fire!
Excellent drink! The Pisco Sour is a must try! The tacos are very good.
Very warm and friendly waiters, clean and efficient karaoke, it helped confirm that I would never be a singer. The rum, nothing to complain about, we get value for the price, large selection available which is a delight for the taste buds and the liver
I love the bar, especially during Maxime s quiz evenings (And thanks to Shazam for the winners, who were very cute )
The food is delicious! Great selection of rhums and nice coktails
Fish taco and Cuban sandwich are not bad. What really impress us is the rum, we got knocked over after a few sips. This is more a place for drinks.
,,,ITS NOT MAXIME who does the quizzes...its Francis......and I love his QUIZ EVENINGS and he adds pineapple to your drink if you ask :-)
Nice rear terrace
Good little rum bar on Mont Royal Avenue
Relaxing place to drink a cocktail or a beer with some nibbles. Great atmosphere, nice blindtest game Ideally located rue du montroyal
That is amazing place to have fun! All employees are friendly and helpful! Tasty drinks!
Great bar Awesome atmosphere You can eat on site excellent cocktail With a great welcome
Cool back patio. Great for a weeknight date.
I love the design of the place, the DJ is very cool and the music is nice, definitely youll have a good time here with your friends on the karaoke.
No menus, they dont want to speak English, internet menu has no beer on it, never again here
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Never seen a bartender make a mojito so quickly, all with the most delicious results.
The greatest pina colada i ever had in my life This place screams perfection Service
Excellent cocktails, great atmosphere and music! Ideal for an outing with friends
Pretty decent tacos, and strong cocktails. Really nice ambience and karaoke nights on Fridays. Staff is pretty friendly but theyre usually packed so you might be waiting for a little longer to get your food/drinks.
Our cocktail wasnt that good, plus it was a boring evening of karaoke, they should have closed the restaurant and left it exclusively to the office party that was taking place.
Great rum menu and great atmosphere thanks to Martin #equipe2feu
Great service, very nice bar, nice atmosphere Very good cocktails I highly recommend
