Review Summary

Bar Dominion is widely praised for its elegant ambience, excellent cocktails, and strong oyster and shareable plates, making it a popular spot for date nights, friends' evenings, and pre game drinks before a Canadiens game; guests highlight attentive, friendly service and a lively yet refined atmosphere, with cocktails and bites such as calamari, oysters, and the parmesan fries often singled out, while some reviews mention high prices, occasional slow or crowded service, and mixed experiences with certain dishes like burgers or the party platter, as well as noise on busy nights; overall it feels like a reliable destination for drinks, ambiance, and a polished casual dining bar experience.

Great after work/before movie bar. Only stool seating, great wine offerings & fresh oysters. Interior is cozy & grand with wood furnishings.

I had dinner at Bar Dominion & it turned out to be a great experience. The highlight of the night was definitely the $1 oysters-we couldn't resist & ordered a couple dozen. Fresh & well worth it.
I also tried the deviled eggs topped with caviar (my first time trying caviar). They were good, though a bit on the salty side. I actually preferred the other fish roe on top-the larger orange ones-which added a really nice texture & flavor. The caviar itself was subtle since there wasn't much of it.
The standout dish for me was the tuna tataki. It was absolutely amazing-lightly seared raw tuna over a miso vinaigrette, topped with greens (likely seaweed) & cucumber. I would go back just for that dish alone.
We sat at the bar & got to watch the mixologists in action, which was a great experience. The staff were a 10/10-friendly, warm, professional, & very attentive without being overbearing.
Overall, a fantastic spot. I'd definitely come back.

Came here with a friend for a little cocktail night out! It was walking distance from our hotel (the Sheraton) so we decided to give it a try! I ordered the Martingale & some fresh oysters. My cocktail was the perfect blend of strong, sweet, & citrusy. The oysters were also very fresh & paired well with the toppings!

We absolutely loved the vibe of this place-buzzing & lively but not too loud so we could hear each other while chatting. Would definitely recommend & I'll be coming back the next time I'm in the city!

We found out we are missing the steak, they did not serve us. Also the cocktail shrimp is not fresh.

Did someone say 1$ oyster Sunday & Monday? Bar Dominion did. Fresh Oyster served with lemon & lime edges, two mignonettes & hot sauce. The cheeseburger was absolutely delicious, grilled to perfection. Great crowd & décore. Service was friendly & professional. I highly recommend a reservation.

Summer in Montreal means a terrace table, cold beer, & 24 fresh oysters shared with friends while we solve the world's mysteries one bite at a time. Life is good. 🥰

Wow! What a find! The vibe is great. The food & drinks were amazing. We ate at the bar. Oliver was our bartender & gastro guide & he excelled on both fronts. The oysters were fresh & tasty, the focaccio app with the Jamon & Manchego app was a perfect combo. The salmon tartare was delicious. We could go on & on about the food but the drinks were amazing. Oliver's attention to each drink was a true master at his craft. We Highly Recommend!

Fast friendly service! Great cocktails, delicious bites. We had a small gathering for a group of 7-8. The high tables were perfect for mingling. If you like oysters, they were beautifully fresh & tasty. Special thanks to our server Annie who was very attentive & took great care of our group. Paul was also super helpful.
