Bar Bisou Bisou is described as a standout cocktail destination with inventive, well balanced drinks and a deep menu of unique spirits and fortified wines, paired with a friendly, knowledgeable staff that guides guests through tasting experiences in a cozy, intimate space with great music. The vibe is often noted as vibey and speakeasy like, making conversation easy while the bar feels casual but stylish and the service is attentive and welcoming. Food options are described as limited or secondary to the drinks, with small plates that are tasty but not always exceptional, though some bites pair well with the cocktails. Overall, reviews converge on Bar Bisou Bisou as a must visit for cocktail lovers and a hidden gem, valued for its creativity and presentation, even if prices run higher and peak nights can bring delays.
So we initially wanted to go to the cold room but the wait list was 30 min in -20°C so the hostess told us about Bisou Bisou being a sister bar that we could wait while they texted us to let us in. Super cozy vibe, really interesting drinks. We ended up staying at Bisou Bisou as we had more room to drink & chat.
Wonderful experience chez Bisou Bisou. Alex impressed us all behind the bar & Yousef's extensive knowledge & recommendations were invaluable. Cold room isn't worth the wait with this gem right across the street. Atmosphere felt intimate but not exclusive. I recommend the'The Last Word' & they also make a delightful Espresso Martini. We didn't try the food but cocktails were exceptional. Overall extraordinary experience!!
Truly the one of the best cocktail bar experiences I've ever had. Alex & Yousef were extraordinary hosts who treated us to incredible cocktails & service despite an incredibly busy night. I'm hoping this review gets out to everyone who thinks Cold room is worth the wait. Right across the street you'll find the warm cozy & groovy atmosphere that you're looking for.
Great service, they were attentive & quick to our needs. The bartenders were very informed & professional & catered to our specific tastes with excellent recommendations. The titamisu shot was a great recommendation. We did not have food, but the cocktails were very refined. I got the Babylon Flip & the Petit Elephant, both of which were delicious. Pricey, but well worth it for the ambience & service. The venue is underground, similar vibe to a Speakeasy. I would go back anytime

Très bon bar à cocktail dans le vieux Montréal. Bien que ça soit une zone très touristique, ce bar est vraiment authentique & pas « attrape touriste ». Les serveurs sont vraiment accueillants & professionnels. On s'est régalé avec nos deux cocktails très frais. On a pris des olives & on était agréablement surpris de voir qu'il s'agissait de vraies bonnes olives.

It's never wondered less why a place was rated 5 stars. Cocktails, mocktails, variety, knowledgeable staff, pleasant staff. I could gush but I'll spare you. I'll just say it's a must. There needs to be a bonus star function on the Google.
Absolutely amazing bar - we went two nights in a row. The bartenders were very friendly & welcoming & the drinks were top-notch (especially the Babylon Flip).
Excellent cocktail bar in Old Montreal. With the first read of the menu, I wasn't really sure what to expect. But after I tried my first drink, I didn't need more convincing that this place knows what they're doing. They use sherries & vermouths in some of the best ways possible, to create unique, delicious & well-balanced drinks. The drinks, service & ambiance were all incredible & I will surely go back here the next time I find myself in Montreal!

We loved this place! After two years, I can confidently say that I've found my favorite spot for wine or a drink. The atmosphere was nice & cozy, & the service was exceptional. Thank you, Melina!
Super chill bar which was next to the place we were staying in. Super friendly staff, we had the cheese platter, which was fantastic especially the ossau iraty. We also had the Maquereau, which was white fish (like sardines) with a very strong yet excellent combination of mustard, & jam as well. Had the Nouveau Depart, which was hands down one of the best cocktails I’ve had. It was a great find & would definitely go again!
Service is phenomenal.
The cocktails are original & very interesting (& tasty)
Normally wouldn’t comment on a cheese plate but it was perfect.
Definitely will come back if we are in Montreal.
