About this place Bar Le Cocktail

Bar Le Cocktail sits on Rue Sainte-Catherine Est, dead center in Montreal's Village. It’s a long-running local spot famous for drag shows and karaoke, pulling in a mixed, mostly French-speaking crowd plus a steady stream of visitors. Google users rate it 4.2 out of 5, based on about 160 reviews. Hours aren’t listed online. Like most bars in the Village, expect it to be packed late Thursday through Saturday. When summer hits, the street turns into a pedestrian zone, and the strip gets crowded from early evening. You’re two minutes’ walk from Beaudry metro.

I regularly have the pleasure of spending wonderful evenings at the cocktail bar. My friendly and welcoming waiter provides excellent service, and our karaoke lady gives us fantastic sound for our songs. Thank you, Sylviane! Not to mention the various flirtatious performances I've witnessed each time; I'm always amazed by the shows they put on. Bravo to the whole team!

Had an awesome night out for my daughter's birthday. Drag show was a good time, bartenders busy but attentive.

The owner’s attitude is absolutely appalling. He forces you to buy a drink even though you paid the entrance fee to watch a show there. He does not have a single respect for customers even though we have bought so many drinks there throughout many years. I would say go support the drag artists performing there, but this bar needs a better owner asap unless you wanna go to a complete empty bar on a regular day without drag shows.
