Le Lab Comptoir à Cocktails

Opening its doors in October 2008 under mixologist Fabien Maillard, Le Lab combines old-school speakeasy vibes with modern mixology flair. Located on Rachel Est (corner Lanaudière), the intimate bar features dark, moody décor—think wood booths, vintage barware, and bartenders in vests and ties wielding flair and fire. The drink menu is extensive and inventive, featuring over 250 spirits and clever signature cocktails: try smoky BBQ sauce–whiskey blends like the "Jerky Lab Jack", tropical punches like "Kamala Beach", or tea-tinged creations like "Sugar Mamy". The bar focuses on house-made syrups, fresh juices, and premium ingredients, often with theatrical flair shows—bottle-spinning, fire pours, marshmallow toasting, and more. Le Lab also offers a seasonal, comfort-food–inspired menu (dinner Mon–Sat and lunch Tue–Fri), including bao buns, mac'n'cheese, dumplings, ginger-glazed salmon and gourmet grilled cheese—each dish carefully crafted to pair with cocktails. Expect casual dining and bar seating, with a smart-casual dress code and a warm, conversational atmosphere. With consistent tips for “best drinks you’ll ever have”, intimate size, creative offerings, and a dash of showmanship, Le Lab delivers a unique and memorable experience. It’s ideal for a date night, bar enthusiasts, or those in search of theatrical craft cocktails in a friendly, neighbourhood setting.
