Barrelmans steps up—literally—above Pub Saint-Pierre, carving out a quieter, more refined drinking and dining option in Old Montreal. This cocktail and tapas bar trades the usual high-energy atmosphere of the area for something more composed, offering a menu that leans into well-crafted classics and signature drinks. The food keeps pace, balancing light bites with thoughtful execution: Examples include oysters, tartares, a ricotta baba ganoush mezze with roasted chickpeas, and a meticulously layered potato tart.
It’s a space designed for lingering—whether that means working through the cocktail list or settling into an unhurried evening of small plates and conversation. While its address is shared with the pub below, Barrelmans stands on its own, offering a more relaxed alternative to the area’s late-night haunts.
