It used to be my playground, soooo happy it's back! The English private club style decor is still intact. Absolute must do in Montreal! Perfect place to have a drink with dr ends or a date 🥂 perfect before or after show at the Bell center. Great drinks, food to share or main meals, good selection & prices. Sitting at the bar promises a great night ahead. Still they kept the big banquette at the rear. The music could be less loud. I love it & will come back as I used to for sure! Oysters at 1$ everyday before 6pm!
Unique drink options & combinations. Very friendly staff who gave recommendations & cared about our opinion. Plenty of food options, though we only had an appetizer.

Very nice atmosphere & very nice good. We went there for lunch on a Thursday (reserve if you are more than 5 people) Very nice vibes & the staff is awesome. Meal & drinks were great, I like the fact that lunch menu offert the appetizer with the main dish combined for one price. I took the Bruschetta & the Beet salad. Recommand !

I celebrated my wedding shower at Bar dominion & had the most amazing experience. The staff were so kind & attentive, the food was absolutely delicious & the ambiance was perfect (amazing music). I'll be coming back for dinner & cocktails soon!
This historic bar/bistro has thankfully reopened after a pandemic induced shutdown. The menu is excellent, the food succulent, with an incredible ambiance reminiscent of 1920s Montréal. A stone's throw from the downtown SIMONS store, it is an absolute must for the traveller. ||| Ce bar/bistro historique a heureusement rouvert après une fermeture provoquée par une pandémie. Le menu est excellent, la nourriture succulente, le tout assorti d'une ambiance qui évoque le Montréal des années 1920. À deux pas du magasin SIMONS du centre-ville, c'est un incontournable pour le voyageur.

Un resto que j'aimais transformé en bar N'y allez pas avec l'intention d'être assis & manger tranquillement, vous serez déçus. Belle déco, endroit plutôt adapté pour y prendre un verre sans trop s'éterniser. Bons petits plats & bons cocktails. L'endroit est cependant un tout petit peu froid si vous y allez tôt en soirée. Faut y être quand la faune débarque ! Plus cool !!
The only thing I have to say is that the music is too loud.. I couldn't stay longer than 20 min.. I was invited for a 5 a 7.. we were a group of about 10 people.. it's hard to have a conversation.. this is not a night club why does the music have to be so loud.. the staff seemed to be very friendly & nice.. I can't say anything about drinks or food didn't get to it..
Came in here given the high rating & was not disappointed. Ambience, service, & food were 5 star even on Easter afternoon. Recommend fries & oysters & sesame skewers.
