Barbossa — Restaurant in Montreal

someone told me once that the little mouse door in barbossa opened up to a comedy club. do NOT trust anyone who says that because it is wrong! it is in fact just storage. i have seen many a show at barbossa and have gotten many of their ciders and one time an amaretto sour (i just ate the cherry). one time i tried their chips and salsa which i did not know they served and it was tasty! would recommend barbossa if you want to look for either an 18 year old chronic smoker with a film photography instagram account or an unemployed 26 year old 'just figuring it out.' there is frankly no in between. quality of the music depends on who is playing / djing so i recommend not going in order to save yourself potential...

I always had to make a CLEAR sign with the hand for them to come serve me if not id be ignored. This was not only a one time thing....after going for a while and receiving the same bad service, I'm out. Definitely not worth going back, it really kills my vibe every...
