O2 Oasis Oxygen Bar

Rated this place:

4059 Saint Laurent, Montreal, QC, H2W1Y9

Oxygen bar: It might be total BS, but the zen like atmosphere at the "bar" is very soothing. If you are sick, low on energy, or need a study boost, they will show you a menu of different flavours of oxygen that have different healing purposes. A cool tea bar or a massage can heighten the experience. My fave: grapefruit. I swore I was energized when I left the bar!

Eva B

I have mixed and matched my way through this shop and come up with many great halloween memories here (80's madonna! Sexy Cop!). Costumes are rented here which means two things: you get great quality pieces and you pay up if any part of your costume is lost when you return it.
