Bily Kun is described as a warm, moody bar in the Plateau with a distinctive Czech vibe and quirky decor like ostrich heads on the walls, a great spot to explore Czech liqueurs and cocktails and a world of absinthe options. The drink menu is praised for being creative and well balanced, with Becherovka-inspired drinks and beer selections that stand out. The atmosphere is repeatedly called atmospheric and unique, with candlelight and a vibe that feels both cozy and a little funky, sometimes compared to a Bierhalle. Service is generally seen as friendly, attentive, and professional, though a few reviews mention slower service or a longer wait for drinks. Prices are considered reasonable and overall the place is described as a standout spot in the Plateau for drinks and Czech vibes, though a few notes mention noise inside and the hummus not being very good. Overall, Bily Kun is a beloved destination for regulars seeking a characterful bar experience with strong cocktails and a memorable decor.
Stopped in with my girlfriend for a drink. Discovered the world of Czech liqueurs. Definitely worth a stop when you're in the Plateau neighborhood in Montreal.
Super funky spot in the Plateau. I actually had a few drinks at this spot 20 years ago & not much has changed, including the ostrich heads on the walls. The menu is very Czech & a bit hard to figure out but the drinks we had were tasty.
As someone who visited the place where Beherovka is made (Karlovy Vary) as a child, to find a Czech bar that serves cocktails based on the liqueur was a miracle! The drink menu is so unique, the atmosphere so chill - kind of Bierhalle- like, & the staff so so nice! Will be coming back for more!
Ambiance sympathique & décoration originale.
Les cocktails sont très bons & pas trop sucrés, ça c'est vraiment top 👍🏼
Point plus négatif sur le hummus qui n'est pas fou du tout, pas de goût & très crémeux..
& service plutôt médiocre alors qu'on était que 22 dans le bar.. Pas d'attention de la part de la serveuse, drinks servis à la va vite sans même nous regarder, obligés d'aller au bar pour recommander malgré notre recherche désespérée de eyes contacts..
Good place great selection of drinks originally Czech & European ideas little snacks variety of beers absence & all the fun fun I like this place furthermore they have live music on Fridays Jazz duet usually I recommend this place it has a feeling of nostalgia of Montreal from late 90s & early 2000s!

OMG, I have been going there forever (since 1999, to be precise). & it is is still as great as it has always been with superb friendly service. Still one of my go-to bars in Montreal. Drinks are great, ambience is great too! A popular place loved by many & that is deserved!
Had a decent experience here although it took sometime until we got served with menus. The drinks prices are good & found it a little too dark to read the menu.
