Nice spot to checkout! Got some classic cocktails & plates to share. We got lucky cause today they had $1 oysters on special:)View more

Visited on July 4th around 10:30 PM.
We had a reservation for two, & the bar was half empty when we arrived. Despite that, the hostess took us to the far end of the bar, right next to the kitchen entrance, where it already smelled like fish. On the way there, we passed several available tables for two & four, & many guests were sitting in pairs at four-person tables with no issue.
We politely asked if we could move to one of the free tables, pointing out that others were sitting at larger tables too. The hostess insisted those tables were being held for larger groups. After a short back & forth, she finally agreed to seat us at a four-top (which wasn't even cleaned yet), cleaned it up, but warned us that if a party of four arrived, we'd have to move. The two-person table we were not offered remained empty.
This kind of treatment left a bad impression. The way the hostess handled it made us feel unwelcome, even though the place was far from full.
On the bright side, the cocktails were okay & the waitstaff were friendly & polite.
But honestly, we don't feel like coming back.View more

Un incontournable pour un 5@7 élégant & détendu
J'adore l'endroit ! Le Bar Dominion combine à merveille une ambiance élégante & décontractée, parfaite pour un 5@7 entre collègues ou amis. Les cocktails sont excellents, avec une mention spéciale pour leur Espresso Martini, finement dosé & parfaitement équilibré.
Le service est irréprochable : attentif, professionnel & chaleureux. Un lieu où l'on revient avec plaisir.View more

Vraiment nice, surtout apres les rush hours. J'y suis allé pour rejoindre des amis vers 23h, les bar tender totalement focus sur nous, musique d'ambiance jouée a partir d'une collection de vinyle super, cocktails de grande qualité pour un prix tres normale. Merci a cette equipe tres chalereuse pour cette belle soirée. Je reviendrais.View more

Un peu moins fan des cocktails & de l'ambiance depuis les rénos, je préférais le look plus d'une autre époque d'avant… certains éléments sont restés, mais le gros écran numérique dans la salle de bain par exemple brise un peu l'ambiance de cet endroit. Le service y était toutefois très bienView more

Friday evening mid to late winter. Service was excellent at table & bar. Any bar worth its weight in gold should be able to make classic cocktails. Ordered a couple of Manhattan which were top notch. Later some wine & Cava. Also good choices with the oysters & nibbles. Frequented this place in the 80´s when it was a more traditional tavern, later in the 2000's along with its sister bar the Balsam. Its most recent guise bodes well. I think if they added a better selection of craft beers it would be nice. The crowd was mixed, diverse, cross generational & upbeat. The ladies were looking mighty fine…this spot always seemed to attract a disproportionately cross section of elegant & beautiful Montreal women. This brings forth some class acts from the manly world. All this to say decent evening. The Bartenders are the real deal & so are the servers. Class act all the way. There seemed to not be any women working the joint & the men working were tight & smooth. Final note…it feels like Mtl in there.View more

This is a nicely lit cosy bar in Downtown Montreal. The decor seems to take you back to the early 20th Century. There was a good selection of cocktails but the food menu is restricted. My first main course I had to send back as it came out cold. It is a shame as I thought this was going to be better than it turned out to be.View more

Le bar Dominion est un incontournable pour mes amis & moi. Le décor est classe, j'aime beaucoup l'éclairage notamment au niveau des bouteilles derrière le bar (photos Instagramables garanties!) Le service est impeccable en salle avec notamment Jules & Elisa qui sont toujours aux petits soins avec nous. Au bar, Quentin a toujours le mot pour nous faire rire & est de bons conseils pour nous aider à trouver le cocktail idéal à chaque fois! Il y a également un Dj quelques soirs & la musique est juste parfaite pour créer une petite ambiance. Pour finir, le menu nourriture est varié & très appétissant, mention spéciale pour les soirées huîtres à 1$ ! Je recommande fortement cet établissement ✨View more

Ce bar a une très belle atmosphère/ambiance, le décor est très beau, mais les compliments s'arrête là malheureusement avec cet endroit. J'ai eu la chance d'essayer quelque truc sur le menu, le manger il a du goût mais pour le prix, on dirait sa ne vaut jamais la peine, j'ai mangé 3 truc en une soirée & j'avais encore très faim. Maintenant on va discuter du service, j'ai visité cet endroit à 4 occasion, à toute les fois avec la même serveuse, une dame française avec une attitude. Elle nous fais sentir comme des cons pour avoir poser des questions très simple alors qu'on demeure poli avec, en plus j'y vais tout le temps avec un groupe qui tip bien (pcq on travaille dans l'industrie on sait c'est quoi). Je peux élaborer sur mes sentiments sur cet aspect, qui franchement ruine le tout pour moi. De plus, les cocktails prennent TRÈS longtemps à faire.View more

Bon choix de cocktails, Mixologues sur place alors ils m'ont concocté un mocktail épicé à mon goût. Nous avons opté pour l'entrée à partager & tout était bon. Le service est lent même si le bar n'est pas très achalandé. L'ambiance est superbe, j'adore le décor & l'histoire de l'endroit. Les banquettes & bancs sont très confortables, ça donne le goût de passer un bon moment.View more

I've loved Bar Dominion since they opened, & truly appreciated how they brought the magic of Dominion Square Tavern into their new endeavor. When I was looking for somewhere to celebrate my birthday this year, I knew there was no other choice! Every step of making this happen was incredibly smooth - from securing a reservation for 20 people, confirming everything in the lead-up, & actually having our celebration - Dominion made it easy, & made sure we were well taken care of. As always - impeccable food, delicious classic cocktails, & thoughtful service. I'll keep going back, & I'll keep suggesting it to anyone looking for a great spot! Thanks again guys ❤️View more

The vibe & decor are awesome. Great location, delicious food & beautiful cocktails! There are quite a few gluten free options/modifications if you talk to your server. Raj took great care of us & we will definitely be back soon!!View more

It's a fun after-work gatheting spot. A mix of communal tables &'shelf' seating. Fantastic cocktails. The food was simple but delish (tomato salad was the kind you wish you could get all year...calamari was light & delicate, fried chicken bites & caviar were crisp & hit the spot). We were definitely the'booners' in the room but loved the vibe, the DJ, & the service. It's loud, so not for the faint of heart or hearing.View more

Brought some friends to town, to show them a good time. Bar Dominion was one of our highlights! The bartenders & their cocktails were top drawer. Real professionals! & they helped initiate conversations between groups of guests. We actually met up with the same people who were seated next to us, the next night! I used to love the Old Dominion, but I would say Bar Dominion is even better! Great work. Thanks so much.View more

We came in for dinner last night & had a great time! Food was incredible - lobster roll, deviled eggs with cavier & the tomato salad were our favourites. They have a good, unique selection of cocktails. Service was superb- servers were super friendly & attentive. A minor thing that was a bit uncomfortable was the restaurant was very cold (even for summer temperatures outside). Can't wait to come back again- thanks for a phenomenal service!View more
Joshua
Very impressed with every aspect of my two experiences at Bar Dominion. Lunch with friends, then a few days later a late night dinner & cocktails. Service was warm & welcoming. The food well above expectation & an atmosphere that made for easy enjoyment. I was surprised the place was not busier given how well guests are taken car of. I would call Bar Dominion a must visit day or night.View more
