canal lounge

Montreal's only floating bar is gliding back into the Lachine Canal this month with a menu full of themed drinks and snacks to savour below deck. The Canal Lounge opens its hatch on May 21 just steps from Atwater Market, offering stunning views of sunsets on the water and romantic date nights under a starry sky.

You can order your favourite mixed drink from the bar, or pick from a selection of boat-ready cocktails. Options include the Malibu Seabreeze with coconut rum, pineapple, and cranberry, or the Perfect Storm featuring dark rum, spicy ginger beer, and lime. There's also the fruity Raspberry Wave with raspberry vodka, craberry juice and tonic.
