The name says it all: this bar is genuinely small. With perhaps five tables, the atmosphere is cozy. Occasional live music leaves room for about twenty to drink in very close quarters. The bar really shines in the summer, when a lovely terrace more than doubles its capacity and offers great people-watching opportunities on Rue St-Denis. This artsy, affecting spot provides one of the quietest drinks in this part of the Plateau. Only cash is accepted.
