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.
