Taverne Atlantic: a gorgeous bar to party in the Mile-Ex

On the corner of avenue du Parc and rue Beaubien, Taverne Atlantic has ruled the Mile-Ex since late summer 2019. This big, Art Deco-inspired tavern has made a name for itself as a bar built for eating well and celebrating late into the night, true to a simple motto: a bit of everything, for everyone.

After winning over the Mile End and downtown with Bar Henrietta, the Tavern Square Dominion and the Balsam Inn, the trio of Alexandre Baldwin (Melk), Alexandre Wolosianski and Éric Dupuis set up shop in the Mile-Ex with this project.

In a unit once home to a farm-machinery dealer, Alexandre Baldwin dreamed up a gorgeous Art Deco-inspired interior. The floor seats about 70, the long bar takes in another twenty or so, and there is still space for tables scattered across the middle, plus a more intimate corner of sofas.

The highlight here is the rooftop terrasse, one of the loveliest rooftop terrasses in Montreal, which seats around sixty around a central barbecue. Now fitted with awnings and sun shades, it promises a memorable sunset whenever the weather cooperates.

On the drinks side, there is a bit of everything, all of it good and for everyone. The wine list makes space for every style, from classic appellations to more natural bottles (a lovely, well-built list). Hop lovers are not left out either, with a solid selection of craft and local beers, right down to a no-alcohol option. Behind the bar, the team turns out classics as readily as house cocktails, not to mention a house slushie and house mocktails for anyone easing off.

For snacking, Taverne Atlantic’s snack-bar runs a comforting menu of casse-croûte and deli plates, punctuated by seasonal specials. Since opening, the kitchen has come a long way and now makes far more in-house: hot-dog sausages and pepperoni cured and smoked on site, house pizza dough, and house sauerkraut and fermented peppers to top the hot dogs.

The mood, warm and festive, draws neighbourhood regulars and passing visitors alike. Dinner with friends, a solo drink or a nightcap for two: any occasion is a good reason to push open the door and spend a good moment in good company.

Taverne Atlantic remains one of the loveliest spots (and one of Montreal’s most beautiful bars) for celebrating or simply grabbing a drink in the Mile-Ex. Cheers!
