From the minute you cross the threshold, Candi Bar on Mont-Royal is different because of its comfortable vibe and whimsical interior decor. From 11 PM on weekends this cozy little bar becomes a popular nightspot for young singles with flashy lights, blaring music, a waiting line out front and the bathrooms are a sardine fest. Once the bar is full, stools become a hot commodity.\n\nThe pretty waitresses wear girly/ sexy short/ tight little uniforms that remind me a little of swiss girls in the alps (?) except it's black and they wear these with comfortable (flat) shoes/ boots. The bar appears to be constructed out of large legos. The barstools have deep burgundy/ purple, round velvet seats and the legs are in the shape of women's legs. From an online picture, the mens' urinals in the mens' room are in the shape of big, juicy red lips. Hmm..?\n\nIn the front there are 2 or 3 tables where you can sit on a stool at little round, bistro height tables right in front of the large windows. These are open during the day on warm days and closed at night when they turn the venue into a night club. There are tables with velvet banquettes for larger groups towards the rear. It may be possible to reserve a table, but you would have to double check. There is no outdoor seating. \n\nIf you have a sweet tooth and you love candy -- then you may really enjoy the drinks. However, they taste artificial and they're very sweet. Even though I often drink gatorade -- I suspect that's why I had a headache that wouldn't go away with painkiller for two days. The drink 'list' is shaped like a lollipop with little cartoon pictures. There are 10 themed drinks to choose from. Most of the drinks are vodka, though there is one tequila and one rum drink. The drinks are prepared as follows, first off you get a generous pour of the base alcohol into a tall cone shaped glass, this is topped off with artificially flavored and colored syrupy sweet slush that comes out of a spout from a large fountain drink type of clear dispenser/ container. All this is topped off with a fun candy decoration ranging from candy that crackles and pops when it's put into your drink, candy necklace wrapped around your glass, gummy bears, gummy worms...), based on whichever drink you ordered.\n\nLink to a local article, with pictures:\n <url>
