50 Best Bars in Montreal

“Lea and Tyson were so great. They both went above and beyond for our group. The service was great, prices were fair and atmosphere was incredible. My girlfriend and I were both visiting Montreal and Ernest was one of the highlights of our trip. All of the curio trinkets were such a treat to browse and we even took some home with us which we can’t wait to display. Class acts all around! When we come back to Montreal, we will be coming back for seconds. :)“

“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!“

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

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

“We had to wait for our service too lone between courses and the waitress forgot our coffee and also brought two charcuterie board when we ask for one. Food taste was good. I could not hear music. 36$ was expensive for the charcuterie board of 3 cheese, 2 type of salami , 2 or 3 slices of presuto, olive, grapes and blueberry. They couldn't pick up the empty plates eventhought they had staff going g around filling up the glasses of water.. The experience was good for the view, but is not worse for the rest. Our experience was Couple anniversary and we spent $250.“

“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,“

“ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE BAR’S NAME

Lily threw her whole back into meticulously crafting her own incredible cocktail for me called the Chasse-galerie while I was being serenaded by these luscious tunes.

5/5“

“The food was delicious, the bartender and his cocktails were excellent and the ladies were very talented, particularly the one who positioned herself in the ring and sun like crazy. The one thing that was a little disappointing was that the shows were too infrequent, but in total that is minor. My wife was impressed that a gentleman greeted us outside and lended a hand to help her up the stairs.“

“Ma place préférée à Montréal � Food, drinks, cocktails, wine, staff! Everything is perfect!“

“Cool spot dans le quartier“

“Great place to chill out and meet people .The owners and staff are very welcoming .It feels like a family bar .“

“Great Place to go with friends“

“The food was delicious!!!“

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

“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).“

“Fantastic food, excellent wine list and drink options, great vibe and phenomenal decor, bilingual super-friendly staff, killer playlist and a super chill rooftop terrace. I ask you: what's not to love??? We'll be back.“

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

“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 🥰🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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 !)“

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

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

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

“I would give Larry’s a 5 star review except I have to say that the staff seems to be a little lost when it comes to seats and food ordering. We were brought the wrong food twice. And another table got our food so we had to wait double.
Other than that the staff is ok. The food to me was delicious. We had a portion of bread, cheese, some amazing Oysters and the presentation and taste of the Beef Carpaccio was outstanding. Highly recommend it but just breath and be patient.“

“Bar- grande sélection-bonne ambiance musicale“

“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!“

“Kevin, Sak and sab are the best
Service, food and drinks are incredible
Perfect for a date, birthday or even just chill on a week night

The tall handsome guy with glasses, insane, ask for him, his name is kevin“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had a great night. I did not taste the food but it looked great. I tasted the NEIPA and the Stout on Tap. I did not enquire about the brewery. The glasses were West Shefford Brewing Co. so maybe that's it. Both were really good. Service was nice and friendly too. I saw a triple show for $15 (bought tickets ahead). At that price you can't go wrong. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. One thing though, if you are there for the music, get close to the front because it is really chatty in the back half. It wasn't so bad with a full band , but the middle show (Ron Hawkins) was a one man acoustic and I wish I could have heard better because he was amazing.“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Superbe découverte pour nous les amateurs d’ambiance hawaïenne avec leur drinks époustouflants dans un décors unique ! Venez en couple ou en groupe l’expérience vous sera inoubliable !!! 🏝️🍹🍍🗿🌺“

“Endroit est très jolie. L'équipe est sympathique. L'approche zéro déchet en restauration est original et apprécié et la nourriture est très bonne !“

“service extraordinaire. un vaste choix de drink bière et vin. belle ambiance. mais je reviens sur le service extraordinaire.“

“Personnel courtois,attentionné et la nourriture !!!absolument décadent et réconfortant......l'heure d'attente en vaut la peine . Recommandé à 100% , aucun point négatif“

“Our work had a holiday party at Bar Le Bureau, and I couldn't be more impressed! They were so accommodating the entire evening, serving up delicious cocktails and some really cool tapas fare that everyone loved. The decor inside is absolutely stunning, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I would go back in a heartbeat—highly recommend it for any event or a night out!“

“Belle place possibilité de jouer aux échecs.“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had a great time on my first visit. Will be back!
Jordan my server was great.
To other people reading this review:
Alcohol is sweet, sweetness attracts fruit flies. You can clean a bar as much as you want there will be flies. Chill out.
I did not have any food though I will certainly be back to try it out.
Signed - an other bar owner from MTL, Jordan will know.
Cocktails are good, ambiance is great, service is amazing!“

“We rented the private rooms upstairs for a birthday party and it was a good time. The space was good for 40-50 ppl, with a vintage look exactly like in the photos from the website.
The sound system and the lighting was perfect for our needs and easy to use.
And most of all a shoutout to the staff, they have been prompt and helpful all night.“

“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.“

“belle place pour passer du temps!“

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

“I loved their classic nachos!!! in addition to its cocktails and its music!! Super friendly staff 🤩😉“
