Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Bar Pub Food

Review Summary

Barfly is described as one of Montreal's most authentic dive bars, a gritty gem in the Plateau that pulses with character where musicians, artists, and industry folks swap stories over pints of in-house lager. Free pool and a central table create a communal vibe, while the low lighting, eclectic music, and constant buzz set a scene where it feels easy to strike up conversations after a set or a recording session. Notable quirks include graffiti-covered bathroom walls that invite patrons to leave their mark, and the place embraces its rough edges rather than trying to be fancy, which is part of its appeal. Visitors describe great staff and strong live music, with the owner credited for making Barfly a go-to spot in Montreal. One review recalls a smell on a particular night and hopes for a fix. Another review mentions a rude bartender who pressured tipping, a contrast to the welcoming atmosphere noted by others. Overall the sentiment is that Barfly delivers a raw, real dive bar experience, a homey venue where free pool, in-house lager, and a vibrant creative crowd come together, making it a favorite for many.View restaurant profile
