Dans l'ensemble, Bar Dominion est largement salué pour son ambiance élégante, ses cocktails excellents et ses fruits de mer frais ainsi que des plats à partager qui fonctionnent bien en groupe, ce qui en fait un endroit populaire pour les sorties en amoureux, entre amis et avant match; les convives soulignent un service attentif et chaleureux et une atmosphère à la fois dynamique et sophistiquée, avec des points forts tels que les calamars, les huîtres et les fries au parmesan, tandis que certains avis évoquent des prix élevés, un service parfois lent ou surchargé et des expériences mitigées sur certains plats comme le burger ou le plateau; des remarques sur le bruit et la foule lors des soirées d'affluence reviennent aussi, mais l'ensemble donne l'impression d'une adresse fiable pour les cocktails, l'ambiance et une expérience de bar élégant et détendu.
Excellente expérience au Bar Dominion. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & élégante, parfaite pour une soirée entre amis ou un rendez-vous. Les cocktails sont vraiment bien exécutés, avec une belle attention aux détails. Le service est rapide, professionnel & très accueillant. On sent la qualité autant dans les boissons que dans la nourriture. Je recommande fortement - j'y retournerai sans hésiter!

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.
I've been here 3 times now & find it amazing! For the food quality & ambience, I think the prices are great. The ambience & service are also amazing. I've been here with family, friends, & most recently for my birthday with a larger party. The times with family & friends were very good but my birthday dinner stood out. The bar was great with the allergy in the party, the service was attentive, & they were responsive to my requests to pre order & pay in advance. Everyone had an amazing time & & everyone at the bar made organising the dinner easy. Thank you!
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?
We used to go for nice, sit-down suppers at Dominion Square Tavern, but it seems to have become - at least on the recent Friday evening I was there with colleagues - a loud, dark, overcrowded'barbar' full of the downtown lawyer / business crowd. I was the last to arrive at our table & spent the entire evening with either the waitstaff or the fellow seated across the aisle from us bumping into me, which I didn't enjoy. We ended up leaving to get supper elsewhere as we couldn't hear each other over the noise. I found it a far cry from the charming pub atmosphere that I remembered & I won't be going back on a Friday evening anytime soon. Food was fine - slightly elevated pub food. Drinks were about on par, price-wise, with other downtown options, though at one point out waitress said there would be a wait for refills as the bar was very backed up.

The vibes in this bar are *gorgeous*-super aesthetic in a way you genuinely wouldn't expect from the exterior. I came for a friend's birthday & it was such a fun spot for a night out.
Cocktail prices are pretty much in line with every other downtown Montreal bar, so you're not really coming here for a'deal,' but the drinks were **really yummy** & well made.
Food-wise: we ordered the **party platter** & I honestly wouldn't recommend it. It's marketed as a mix of smaller appetizers in one platter, but it felt like only 2-3 actual items from the menu, with **a huge portion of the platter being crudités**-& it was **$74**. That said, the sauces/dips that came with it were amazing, especially the **chimichurri**.
The mains helped recover the experience a bit. I had the **burger**-it was a good portion if you want something heavier, but mine was a little dry & kind of cold. Not bad, just not extraordinary. The **fries**, though? Dangerous. Genuinely addictive-best'drunk bar fries' I've had in a while.
Service was another standout: the waitress & staff were super hands-on & attentive, which we really appreciated. Overall, the drinks & ambiance were the highlights for me, & I definitely wouldn't be surprised if I ended up back here again.
We had a wonderful evening at Bar Dominion this week. The establishment was packed when we came in, the Habs were playing in a few hours & people were coming in to have drinks before.
The staff were very efficient, carefully explained the situation & conveniently updated us every few minutes as to when we would get space. Finally they cleared up some standing tables & we ended up being there for a bit. They then offered us to switch to better places once the crowd cleared up.
The bar was very elegant, as was the rest of the restaurant. A classic British-Canadian pub in the heart of Montreal that I would definitely recommend to people if they are in the area. There was a veey good mix of people inside & the bartenders were friendly & gave us unlimited waters without asking.
I visited this bar recently. There's ongoing construction in front, which understandably isn't the bar's fault but does make the entrance a bit unappealing.
Unfortunately, my visit was affected by the condition of the restroom - the toilet hadn't been cleaned & was visibly soiled, which was quite unpleasant.
I'm sharing this in hopes that management pays closer attention to restroom maintenance, as it really impacts the overall guest experience.

Our happy place for cocktails & tapas style food after a long work week! Oliver & both Quentin's making us cocktails From another planet along with Dj Contact hitting the right tunes on a friday night, makes this bar 2nd to none! Love the vibe & everything else about it here!!!
Bar Dominion est vite devenu un de mes coups de coeur. Ambiance tamisée, cocktails impeccables & un menu disponible jusqu'à tard. Mention spéciale à Isaac pour son service chaleureux & souriant!
We stopped in before a concert & our bartender (Oliver) helped us right away, not only was he so kind & helpful but all the food he recommended was so good. It was so good we had to write a review!
