Probablement une des meilleures tables d'hôte de toute la province, & ça pour seulement 16 CAD ! Le rapport qualité-prix est imbattable. Si tu es de passage à Québec, tu ne peux pas repartir sans goûter au panini au boeuf & trois fromages du Ninkasi Bar-un vrai délice !

Je me suis arrêtée dans ce bar un peu par hasard & je n'ai clairement pas été déçue. La nourriture, la bière, le service, les autres clients tout était top ! Je n'hésiterai pas à recommander cet établissement pour mes amis de passage à Québec.

La perte d'un employé tel que Zachary aux karaoke nous déçoit nous qui aimions faire le party avec lui le renvoyé après presque un an c'est vraiment plate aux lieux de l'aidera s'améliorer on le jette comme un vaux rien triste que Guillaume n'est pas pu l'aider â grandir dans la famille du fameux Ninkasi .Tout les employés l'aimaient beaucoup & les clients aussi ,Surtout qu'il manque cruellement d'employer .
