The old is celebrated in new ways at Bar George, a modern-day rendezvous set in the grand heritage home once belonging to Sir George Stephen. Honouring the former resident’s roots, our chefs cook up contemporary takes on classic U.K. fare, spiked with Québécois quirks, while our bar pours time-tested drinks.
Reviews describe Bar George as a stunning historic space inside the Mount Stephen hotel, with ornate mahogany woodwork and a Downton Abbey feel that makes the bar and dining rooms both chic and convivial. The cocktails are consistently praised and the beef Wellington is a standout, along with lobster risotto and mushroom soup, though a few dishes and portions are noted as small or uneven and some guests feel the prices are high. Service is described as attentive and knowledgeable by many, with solid wine and cocktail recommendations, but a few visits mention slower or inconsistent timing during peak hours. Brunch and lunch experiences are highlighted for the ambiance and the quality of the food, while some guests point to the bustle and loud music as caveats. Overall Bar George is seen as an impressive, date-worthy or special occasion setting where the atmosphere and architecture often outweigh some flaws in value or execution.
Expensive however the atmosphere is very elegant & the drinks are amazing ! They have lots of interesting cocktails very tasty very unique, best place for a date!

Went for drinks. Beautiful old building. Bar was loud with house music & overpriced drinks. Great to see a restored building, but the music was out of place.
Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Friday night. Nice entrance with full wood paneled walls & marble fireplace. Bar area is lighted with candles giving a very elegant look to the place at night. Drinks were as expected. Classics made, but nothing too showy
Bar attenant à un hôtel boutique, le Bar George impressionne avec sa décoration intérieure soigneusement préservée parce que c'était longtemps un club privé réservé aux gens qui pissent de l'argent hérité de leur famille. Aujourd'hui ouvert au public, l'atmosphère intérieure d'époque est unique à Montréal & probablement aussi au Canada. Nous y étions seulement pour des cocktails, les prix également impressionnent, allant de $15 à $30 le drink donc, l'atmosphère d'époque, ça se paie. Service amical, accommodant & efficace d'un personnel jeune & sympathique. P.S: s'il vous plaît 🙏, laissez un 👍 si vous avez trouvé ce review utile & informatif dans vos choix, merci !
Loved the drinks. Hostess was really nice. It was easy to book, they even called to confirm the reservation. I was running late so they offered to give a later slot. I do feel the bartenders can be more engaging. Once they give you your drink, they don't come back to ask if you need water or a another one. I had to ask twice for a glass of water. It wasn't even that busy. For a place like that, the service standards can be taken up a notch or two.
Went for the first time for a quick drink before dinner. Ambiance was great, decor is just amazing. Beautiful historic building. Very expensive but enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. Thanks for a nice experience
Beautiful structure inside & out. It's some of the best carpentry work I've ever seen. They have a wide variety of mixed drinks, I tried a paper plate drink for the first time, it was really good.

My mom just went there to celebrate her 55 birthday with her friends & they had THE BEST TIME!! They don't drink alcohol & the staff were so good at recommending them mocktails that fit their exact taste! Amazing & professional service, amazing food, amazing vibe!! A particular thank you to their waiter David for giving my mom & her friends an evening to remembe
Food was pretty great! Wasn't absolutely mind-blowing considering the price; but regardless I still would come back. The bar & the dinning area was absolutely amazing & super pretty. I highly recommend if you would like a fancy dinner or just to grab a drink & listen to come great music!
