Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- Neil BAuckland, New Zealand1,180 contributionsCool taproom that features in my ‘Beers of the World’ book, so I had to visit when in Montreal. About 15 beers on tap, covering a great range of styles. There’s a kitchen that does snacks but I just stuck to the beer. Really friendly and knowledgeable barman on duty who was happy to offer patrons advice on what to try.Written 13 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amilcar GuzmanHarwood Heights, IL545 contributionsMy wife and I rung in 2024 at the Upstairs Jazz Room and simply loved it. Th ambiance and music were amazing, while the food left a little to be desired.Written 4 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlgebrainNorth Providence, RI35 contributionsI was part of a party of 2 here and we were able to finish the murder mystery game without any troubles. You do need to be ready to order (and therefore pay for) quite a bit, but they do have some alcohol-free options available for at least some of the drinks on the list required to complete the game, so if you're overwhelmed by the idea of drinking a lot to "win" a game, bring a friend and take your time and you'll be just fine.Written 11 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael BBoston, MA18 contributionsThis is absolutely our favorite spot in Montreal to get a cocktail (or several), featuring some of the coolest and friendliest mixologists in town. If you're looking for a fancy bougie atmosphere, don't come here. Come as you are for the friendly, diverse crowd, the cool vibe, and most of all the excellent drinks.Written 14 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KJWanderlust11Ottawa, Canada2 contributionsThe show lasted much longer than I expected, and so worth seeing! Great exotic, non-traditional, non-conservative, fun entertainment. Highly recommend!Written 6 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alison KLodi, NJ888 contributionsCool bar with interesting decor and a rock/punk vibe. Spacious inside and large outdoor space. Cheap drinks that you can order at the bar or sit at a table for service.
Some games but there should be a time limit - my friend wanted to play foosball but there were some table hogs.Written 22 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Service was also excellent.
Beer also. Czech lager pint then a sampler for dessert...mostly fruitier beers. I wish this place was closer to where I live...I would be here all the time.Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They are all preselected and must pass an interview. Most of the best comedians come here to run through their routines pre-gala or pre festival. You never know who will show up. Definitely a cheap way to see some of Quebec's best comedians up close.
Service is great. The waiters are always kneeling or bending to make sure you can always see the show. American style comedy club. Call early to reserve your tickets because they sell out real fast.
I have been at least three times and never been disappointed.Written 6 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jenni M10 contributionsWe enjoyed stopping here. The decor is divey but full of fun sports memorabilia. We were greeted by the manager who was very friendly and chatted with us about the city. Worth a stop.Written 29 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lori AStillwater, OK61 contributionsThis was such fun! We just happened to be in Montreal when this was happening. We got SOOO lucky. The shows were very entertaining and the food was fantastic. My only wish was to be able to eat at all the wonderful stands!!Written 29 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- skibumalPicton, Canada293 contributionsUsed to hang around this live Quebec music bar in Old Montreal in the early 80s. Went back for a nostalgic visit to this bar of my youth and not much has changed. We still drink beer and sing & dance along with the bands ! The crowd is just as enthusiastic as it was 40 years ago even though I have lost a step or two. Vive le Quebec ! La joie de vivre existe encore dans ce bar classic du Vieux Montréal.
