50 Best Bars in Montreal

“The ordering was very easy and the staff was very welcoming. We had a great meal and the vibe of the place was very nice. I will definitely be coming back to try some new things. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good experience. It was a very pleasant visit for us all.“

“Excellent menu!! C’est très varié et original, mais ils réussissent à bien agencer le tout (on avait 7 plats différents sans compter les desserts) Mentions spéciales aux gnocchi, à la joue de veau et au plat de champignons pleurotes ! Service super sympathique et efficace!“

“La cuisine est extra, service magnifique sans être guindé, belle carte de vin ! Je recommande ce resto sans hésitation! WoW 🤩“

“We had a wonderful experience on July 8th, 2026, with everyone we interacted with at the hotel.
We'd had an issue with our Airbnb check-in and needed a last-minute hotel around 10:30 PM. When we called, we were starving, traveling from out of town, and the receptionist was incredibly helpful. We assumed food wouldn't be available by the time we arrived, but she took the time to read us the menu over the phone and place our order before we got there — so it was hot and ready the moment we checked into our room. It had been a while since I'd seen customer service that good! - I wish we had caught her name.

The next day at the hotel's restaurant, Maggie Oakes, our server Tracey was phenomenal — compassionate and funny. She was incredibly gracious and turned a stressful workday into a much more relaxed one.

If these two women are on shift, you won't find a better experience. We were thoroughly impressed and felt extremely well taken care of. Great job, ladies!“

“Le milky way est un magnifique endroit avec une bonne ambiance pour terminer une soirée entre amis. J’ai commander le drink Preach’s peach pour sa composition et le magnifique verre annoncé sur le menu (flamingo). Malheureusement, le drink n’a pas été servi dans le verre tant attendu. Dans ce genre d’endroit, la présentation fait toute la différence pour justifier un cocktail à 25$. J’aurais apprécier qu’on me renseigne que le verre n’était pas disponible ce soir-là. J’aurais probablement opter vers un autre cocktail à un prix plus modeste. Ceci dit, le goût était bon. Nous ne recommandons pas les spritz sans alcool qui sont à notre goût fade et simplement amer. Un ajout de sirop simple pourrait probablement balancer l’amerture de ce drink qui est normalement délicieux avec du mousseux, bien entendu. Pour terminer, le cocktail bleu dont je ne me souvient plus le nom était le highlight de la soirée. Je retournerais au MilkyWay pour retenter l’expérience :) Au plaisir,“

“Mon coup de coeur ❤️ Service impeccable, attentionné⭐️ L’ambiance ⭐️ La bouffe ⭐️ Bref une expérience 5/5“

“We didn't have food, but I'll give it 5 stars based on the rest of our experience. We are in town for a short time and wanted to stop for a drink. Stumbled upon MALT and couldn't be happier.

Lilly gave us fantastic service and amazingly crafted cocktails. She was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The vibe is great, and if you're looking for an intimate cocktail bar- this place is for you.

As I said, we didn't get food (it was late), but the first thing I noticed on the menu was 8 hotdogs for $35. This place knows how to steal my heart. 10/10 would recommend.“

“It was absolutely a blast!!!! I had really amazing food despite the fact that I came to a dinner super club without any expectations.

Their entre and to share were great! Their full menu also has seafood and steak and others. Good wine list they have with decent price.

There were shows to be discovered each nice and the girls were incredibly talented and HOT!!!

I haven't been clubbing a lot and I would definitely come back here! Such a vibe 🐇❤“

“Love the atmosphere, excellent staff, and amazing pulled pork mac & cheese!“

“Great Place to go with friends“

“Great staff!!! And the oysters are good!“

“Delicious !!! Dined on my own, a bit expensive but worth it. I had the special shrimp asparagus toast and the roasted carrots (delish) and the piri piri chicken (good flavor a bit tough and I wanted more pickles). Drank a Rosa which was lovely and refreshing. YUM. Plenty of wheat-free menu options (as a wheat intolerant girly myself- went all out tonight though hence the special non-gf toast).“

“sélection de vins debile! belle ambiance décontractée ! belle découverte culinaire et vino. musique s'est bien accordée avec le débit de gens. génial“

“This is a secret gem. I totally stumbled on it by accident and I’m so glad I did. Great whiskeys, cocktail of the week and lovely service! I got a lavender blueberry cocktail- delish! No food here but you can get some chips (crisps for my English friends)“

“Hier soir… première expérience chez vous! J’arrive dans une ruelle, on a presque manqué la place. Mais c’était tout simplement magique! Une expérience unique et remarquable… Une superbe place à découvrir 🥰🥰🥰“

“Best bar in town! Love the machine and the vibe of this place!“

“Je n'ai malheureusement pas de photo à l'appui, j'étais trop distrait par le délicieux repas. J'ai été pour la première fois hier à l'occasion de la fête des mères et ... on y retournera certainement pour la fête des pères ! Que dire, tout est parfait ? L'ambiance est conviviable. Les lieux sont ultra propres, incluant la salle de bain. Le service était impeccable et rapide. James fait le tour de tous les clients sur place pour s'assurer que tout est bon. Excellente initiative à la hauteur du restaurant. Je ne peux que chaudement recommander (et je suis quelqu'un de difficile !)“

“Great food and service! Had a wonderful meal. Had the tasting menu, was so much fun. Service was excellent. Will come back!“

“The ambiance, food and service were all outstanding. A perfect neighbourhood spot with an exquisitely flavoured yet somehow also totally accessible assortment of delicious dishes. My date doesn't drink and they immediately whipped up a made to order mocktail, and made a much appreciated suggestion to help balance out our food order. 10/10“

“Un bar véritablement authentique, où règne une ambiance chaleureuse. Les cocktails y sont tout simplement sublimes !“

“Amazing place for free style rapping and singing, vibes are through the roof!!

This is the community event I need in my bars, where anyone can sing or rap (as long as you sign up ofc). People were dancing, singing along, head bopping, all the great stuff about feeling the music. Great job to the performers!

Happens every Wednesday, it does get pretty crowded and super warm so I would recommend coming early with few layers.

Awesome place, i recommend it to anyone who’s a local or passing by mtl!“

“Just visited the Indian Bar Restaurant and this place is quite impressive. It is newly opened but already feels like a favourite hangout spot.

The vibe is amazing, chill lighting, great music, and a lively yet comfortable setup where you can relax with friends or enjoy a casual night out.

Their menu is full of Indian street style snacks with a modern twist. From spicy momos and cheesy sandwiches to crispy fries, rolls and tikkas, every bite hits just right. The food tastes fresh, flavourful and perfectly balanced with the drinks.

The bar section is equally impressive, great cocktails, mocktails and beer options at fair prices. The staff is friendly and attentive, always making sure you are having a good time.

This place may be underrated right now, but it surely will not stay that way for long. Once people discover it, it is going to be the next big thing for chill evenings and late night cravings.“

“This is one of my favorite go-to spots! The sushi is always beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious, and the service is amazing. Kevin at the bar and Javi, are always so friendly and welcoming. I always have such a great time here and leave happy. Highly recommend! ❤“

“Bar- grande sélection-bonne ambiance musicale“

“Ok je n’y ai jamais été , mais avec p-o à l’animation et Vincent Descôteaux à la chronique c’est sur que je vais adorer et en plus il y’a plusieurs humoristes à son show donc ceux qui ont la chance ou qui habitent à Montréal ALLEZ-Y ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great speakeasy bar. The music is good and not too loud. The servers were more than kind and the whole ambiance was just perfect. Definitely got a good here and would happily suggest it to everyone who are looking a good and unique speakeasy bar.“

“My son and I had a great dinner. The staff was lovely, food was good and they accommodated all my toddler customizations! We will definitely be back!“

“Loved the music, love the hidden speakeasy entrance, love the escape room concept. Puzzles were fun and bilingual. The service felt slow and the pricing and quantity of food made this place feel like a lot less of a value. Spent $160 and 2 hours where it could have been $120 and 1 hour due to service speed and premium prices. The beverages are brilliant though, with or without alcohol.“

“Tres different!La deco tres special et chaleureux! Les cocktails vraiment délicieux! Le serveur nous a expliqué les différentes cocktails et le menu ! Le service 5/5 Excellent! L’endroit un peu petit mais très COZY!“

“The staff #1. Food was perfectly prepared. Great ambiance. Super Terrasse.“

“Loved this bar for watching the World Cup and enjoying a nice glass of wine on the outdoor patio. Nicest service and hosts here that will make this place especially memorable for a couple of Americans hanging out across the border 😊“

“Accueil extrêmement chaleureux. Belle sélection de bières en fût. La carte de cocktails est vraiment chouette. La musique est excellente. Les prix sont suuuper raisonnables. Une merveilleuse découverte. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“CHI Montreal is an incredible spot! The atmosphere is stylish, vibrant, and perfect for a night out. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The food was outstanding, and the bao buns are absolutely insane easily one of the best things on the menu. If you're looking for amazing vibes, excellent service, and delicious food, CHI Montreal is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!“

“Great find for us, directly opposite our hotel. The staff were magnificently friendly and engaging. My wife and I were visiting Montreal from Scotland and were made to feel like regulars. If and when we venture transatlantic again to this wonderful city, we will certainly be seeking out Bisou Bisou.“

“Une salle agréable avec une programmation intéressante,une bonne acoustique et un bon rapport public-scene“

“Cool relaxe bon spaghetti 👌♥️“

“I loved it, we came to visit Montreal to spend the birthday of one of my friends, and they recommended this place to us, and we really loved it, the atmosphere, the music, the food and above all the attention of the waiter Camilo, if you come you will I recommend!✨“

“Hang Bar is such a fun spot to celebrate with friends! The vibe is amazing — great music, lively atmosphere, and the cocktails were really good. It’s the kind of place that makes a night out feel special. The staff were friendly and the energy all night was perfect for birthdays or celebrations. Only downside is that it’s a bit on the expensive side, but overall definitely worth going for experience.“

“I’ve been here many times but than took a break and when I came back I discovered their in house stout. Its pure pleasure drinking it. Its just rarely one of the best in neighborhood (exactly what I was looking for).
Guys that work there are fun and they play good music and its very diverse in style.“
