Olivier Farley, one of the founders of Bar Waverly, is not new to managing a bar. Yet it's not without emotion that he speaks of his attachment to the Waverly. In addition to being a neighbourhood bar, it's a family project. In fact, the founding team consists of Olivier, his brother, and a friend he's known for 25 years. With just a glimpse through the doors, it's clear that this family spirit gives the bar its life.
The entire team, composed of about thirty people, is warm and has a real down-to-earth character. For Olivier, the energy that emanates from a person is what matters most; that's why he's careful to ensure that the team members "work" with the spirit of the bar. It's a winning formula: the warm and welcoming Waverly team is clearly behind the bar's success.
No too sure if its a bar, a pub, or a night club, but the ambiance is defnitely groovy and relaxed. No dancefloor, yet the DJ was playing a great variety of styles, and the crowd was getting into it.
Waverly Bar is on St-Viateur (oddly it’s not on Waverly) and offers a fun terrace in the Mile End. The length of the bar is all glass and it opens onto a terrace that sits on the corner of St-Laurent Boulevard. Eclectic lighting, delicious cocktails, and that relaxed hipster vibe – this neighborhood bar is perfect for a low-key night with cocktails. They also make grilled cheese sandwiches if you start to feel hungry after throwing back a few!
Everyone can head to Waverly for free to celebrate with friends! At the "5 à 7" price, you can enjoy your evening, especially thanks to the discount on shooters (2 for $5). Good music as usual and an ambiance that promises to be lively; it will be an evening not to be missed!
It’s easy to recognize the time of day when hundreds – if not thousands – of workers flock to restaurants to celebrate Montreal’s workday special, the 5 à 7. It’s a precious after-work tradition that could simply be described as happy hour, but with a Montreal touch that makes all the difference. Either sit at the bar or join a group of friends, and leave the work-day stress at the door.
