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.
Absolutely gorgeous, old-money, roaring 20's decor. It's lovely, & just before a Habs game, very likely.
I made a reservation for 18:15 but the place was just booming. We ended up sharing a table with others, no big deal.
Great classic cocktails, sometimes with a twist. My +1 ordered a dirty martini, the menu said they added sage, but we didn't taste any (maybe they don't add it to the vodka version). My Tuxedo #2 was fragrant & flowery, as expected.
We decided to try the party platter, where you get to try a few appetizers (see the photo). Everything was good, I liked the oriental style ribs, fried halloumi & tasty sauces.
Service was fine, even during the pre game rush.
It's definitely not a cheap date place. It's a dress up, go all out Great-Gatsby-style kind of place.
We really enjoyed it.
Don't come here if you want to enjoy your night. First, we didnt quite like the food. The quantity & quality both not satisfying. Server are too busy as well. As it wasn't an enjoyable meal, we didn't tip. Server got aggressive & gave attitude. Avoid at best.
Great atmosphere & excellent cocktails. I visited on a Friday night & wasn't aware that reservations were required; however, the team quickly accommodated us, which was greatly appreciated.
The service was attentive, & the cocktails were exceptionally well crafted.
The ambiance was vibrant, with great music that really elevated the experience.
A special thank you to the manager, Paul, for warmly accommodating us, & to DJ Mike for providing such an enjoyable musical atmosphere.
Méchante belle expérience. On était une table 4 & on a adoré nos repas. Le serveur m'a proposé un drink hors menu & personnalisé & il était délicieux. Vous aurez compris que le service était super.
Super bel ambiance. Comme les jeunes disent;'it's aesthetic'. Je n'ai pas de photo. Je vous laisse découvrir par vous même. J'y retournerai c'est sûr!

Around 6 on a Thursday night dead of winter. Thought I would catch a quick bite before an event. Slammed. Not a place for locals to drop in. Reservation for 1 at the
bar?
It was game night & very busy downtown. We took a chance without reservations & were lucky enough that someone else was a no show. Great location, food & drinks were very good. Highly recommend.

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!
The service is great & the food is delicious. We ordered a burger super well done & they made it exactly as we expected. The portions are big, especially the fries 🍟! Enjoy!😉
