Alambika was born in Québec 15 years ago. Since then, we’ve become a daily partner to thousands of bars, restaurants, hotels, restaurant groups and beverage professionals across the province. Today we have a boutique and showroom in Québec City, plus our professional showroom, boutique, lab bar and main warehouse in Montréal.
Looking for glassware? A bar tool? A strange ingredient? A way to cut breakage? 2,000 custom picks? An idea for your next menu? We can probably help.
After 15 years, Alambika has become hard to avoid in Québec hospitality. We serve thousands of professional clients across the province, from the small independent bar to the big hotel groups. Ask around.
And if you’ve ever had a drink in a Québec bar or restaurant that didn’t serve it in a paper cup… there’s a good chance you’ve already had one of our products in your hands. A glass. A shaker. A bitter. A syrup. A cherry. A cocktail pick. A tool behind the bar.
That’s how we prefer to show up. In the glass, rather than on a billboard.
Alambika was born in Montréal in 2011, in the heart of a Québec cocktail scene that was still very much under construction. We grew up with it. Today, our Montréal home base brings together our main warehouse, professional showroom, specialty boutique and lab bar.
It’s where much of our team works, tests, develops, compares and occasionally breaks things to understand why they break. Come with a project, compare glassware, try out tools or simply show us what’s giving you trouble.

A real local presence in the Capitale-Nationale. Our new Québec City boutique-showroom lets hospitality professionals in the region come discover our products in person. Restaurateurs, hoteliers, bartenders and beverage professionals can come see the glassware, handle the tools, discover the ingredients and talk through their projects with our local team.
And behind the boutique sits the entire Alambika infrastructure in Montréal. So you get a contact in Québec City, with access to our main inventory, our suppliers, our B2B team and our expertise.

Since the beginning, Alambika has been deeply involved in Québec cocktail culture. Our team works with the bartenders, chefs, sommeliers, F&B directors, restaurateurs, hoteliers, distilleries and beverage producers who keep pushing the industry forward.
We develop products. We test glassware. We develop cocktails and mocktails. We work with hotels on costs and breakage. We help restaurants open. We have custom products manufactured. And when something doesn’t exist, our first reflex is often: “Can we make it?”
That thinking goes beyond our products. Alambika’s founder, Jean-Sébastien Michel, is the creator of the Bourse Alternalcool, developed in collaboration with Éduc’alcool. The Bourse rewards establishments and professionals who are helping evolve the way we think about the balance between alcoholic cocktails, non-alcoholic options and responsible consumption.
For us, the future of the bar isn’t choosing between alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It’s making both interesting.
Our physical presence is in Montréal and Québec City, but our work covers the whole province: Montréal, Québec City, Laval, Longueuil, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, Lévis, Drummondville, Charlevoix, Mont-Tremblant and everywhere else in Québec.
Whatever the size of your establishment, you get access to the same team and the same expertise.
There are plenty of places to buy a shaker. That’s not really what Alambika is about. Since 2011, we’ve built a company around a fairly simple obsession: helping beverage professionals do their jobs better.
Sometimes that means finding the perfect glass. Sometimes it means cutting the cost of a program. Sometimes it means developing a cocktail. Sometimes it means importing something weird from Japan. And sometimes it means telling you frankly that the product you’re looking at probably isn’t a good idea for your operation.
After 15 years and thousands of Québec clients, we’re just as curious as ever. And still just as hard to impress with a bad shaker.
Breakage. Costs. Sourcing. Glassware. Cocktails. Non-alcoholic. Customization. We like this stuff. Come see us in Montréal or Québec City, or just write to us about what you’re working on — we’ll find someone on the team who genuinely geeks out over exactly this kind of problem. Alambika has supplied professional glassware, bar tools, cocktail and non-alcoholic ingredients and custom products to bars, restaurants, hotels and hospitality professionals across Québec since 2011.
