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!
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.

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!😉

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.
When in Montreal this is a must go to. The staff are friendly & efficient. The atmosphere is lively, even on a Tuesday evening 😆. The food delicious, we shared a few little dishes which went perfectly with Timothe's drink recommendation. Timothe's recommendation of the drink Archangel was spot on as we are gin drinkers. All of his recommendations were perfect!

food wasnt great, we had a salmon tartare, a burger with fries, & a cesar salad with bacon. im not the complaining type of person but gotta say that the meat was burnt & fries were as salty as it gets, cesar salad had salad leafs (whole) & 2 thick bacon slices (also whole) nothing to say about the taste, it was good, but kinda hard to eat, not sure if its meant to be chopped or not.
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.
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.

This restaurant is an12/10. It hits it out of the park for music, ambiance & the FOOD! We shared a bunch of appetizers including fried chicken with caviar (chef's kiss) , the calamari & the tomato burrata dish that we ordered alongside the deliciously grilled foccacia.
Would highly recommend.
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. 🥰
This tavern is beautiful. The fries & calamari were delicious.
&....they made me a perfect Mexican 75 (add it to your menu!).
The owner was so friendly & helped name some other hot spots for my niece & her boyfriend.
We hope to be back next time we're in Montreal!
Sadly i was pretty disappointed with the burger. It felt plain without much sauce & the edges were pretty burnt & that was all i could taste. I would not recommend the burger even though the fries were pretty delicious.
Oysters were good especially on a sunday with the 1$ deal.
