How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
After stuffing ourselves at Au Pied de Cochon, our group made our way towards Candi Bar, mainly on the strength that we were interested in trying out drinks that apparently tasted like candy. Although there was a bouncer there by 11 PM, we were able to get in without much trouble (and perhaps because we had the right gender balance, if Montreal cares about that kind of things). It was also perfect timing, because the tables were all occupied at that time, and it definitely started getting more crowded at that point in time (the tables are also all reserved after midnight). I'm a huge fan of the decor - the artwork is very unique but also really well-done; the lights are kept low, and the low ceilings give it a very intimate feeling. The music is also very solid - from what I recall, mostly American music that's probably from the last decade. That said, the main theme of the club was disappointing. The gummy bear drink had virtually no alcohol in it and was more liable to give you massive brain freeze if you drank out of the straw too quickly. The ladies at the table had another drink (the name of which I forget) that had the same Gatorade blue color and had slightly more alcohol in it. For the price (which I think came out to around $12/drink), it's simply way too expensive for something that is marginally alcoholic, at best. Even as a sugary pop drink, it's not that good. In short - great concept, nice atmosphere, but really crummy drinks. If you want to come here just to chill, you'll have a good time, but I'd recommend a real cocktail if they make any, or beer, if you're looking for a beverage at this spot....Pick from: (A). negative; (B). positive; I think the answer is
(A).
