Bar Sarah B — Restaurant in Montreal

I ordered a Mai Tai and was presented with a strange blue drink (see the picture). It looked or tasted nothing like an actual Mai Tai.

It was my wife’s birthday too, only beer and wine the employee says. Not one night did it stay open till the posted time of 1 am. Quite disappointing, hopefully they update their operating hours, or get there early and hope you get the...
