Big in Japan Bar, a discreet speakeasy-style spot on the corner of Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Rue Rachel, opened in 2011. Renowned for its elusive entrance, marked only by a nondescript door, this bar offers a sophisticated and intimate drinking experience. Inside, you'll find a labyrinthine, wrap-around bar adorned with hanging whiskey bottles, hundreds of candles, and plush draped walls. The drink menu features a stellar selection of whiskeys, sakes, and house cocktails like the Tokyo Mule and Rum Sour. Co-owners André Nguyen and Julie Bisson have crafted a chic, welcoming atmosphere perfect for a cozy date or a night out with friends. Don't miss their unique bottle-hanging service for regulars.
