Drawing inspiration from members clubs worldwide. Bowie offers guests a curated experience with a thoughtfully crafted cocktail list, an Asian-inspired menu all within an elegant setting for unforgettable evenings.
Bowie is described as stylish and intimate with a chic vibe, a moody atmosphere and a live DJ that sets a lively energy, making it a popular spot for girls nights or celebrations. Service stands out in many reviews for being warm, attentive, and professional, with staff offering thoughtful wine and cocktail recommendations and handling special occasions with care, though consistency varies across visits. The interior and decor get frequent praise, while some guests feel the concept aims for exclusivity and can come across as pretentious or overdone, with policies like a photo and video ban and a dress code that may be unevenly enforced. Cocktails tend to be highlighted as strong or creative, yet a few drinks fall flat or feel overpriced, and some dishes or portions are described as hit or miss. Occasional issues include slow service, missed steps in the service flow, overcharging, and inconsistent pacing that can mar the experience, along with reports of rude or impersonal treatment from staff or a lack of sympathetic handling in tricky moments. Overall Bowie is seen as a much loved destination with standout ambiance, good food and drink, and moments of exceptional service, but the guest experience can be uneven and value is variable depending on the night and the team on shift.
Superbe soirée hier soir !! La musique était incroyable !! l'organisation à l'entrée & des vestiaires est remarquable . Nous avons été accueillis & servis par la ravissante serveuse Nouha❤? qui nous a efficacement conseillé & accompagné tout au long de la soirée !
Les cocktails étaient délicieux & nous repartons avec des souvenirs & l'envie de revenir !
J'ai été servie par Zacharia lors de ma première visite & que du bon à dire sur le service! Très attentionné, il s'assure que chaque étape de la soirée soit excellente & il avait beaucoup de bonnes recommandations pour les vins, cocktails & nourriture. On a pu lui faire confiance à faire nos choix avec nos préférences. On a pas été déçus. Un gros merci, on sera de retour!

I was so excited to visit on Friday night. I did make a reservation & noted that a dress code was in effect. Only me, my visiting friend from Toronto, & other out of towners (also from Toronto) were appropriately dressed for such an establishment. But the staff allowed middle-aged tourists in cargo shorts, basic t-shirt & Birkenstocks to be customers? Pls. It was 35C Friday & I too would've love to wear shorts & flip flops too. But I'm a self-respecting adult.
You either enforce some sort of respectability or drop your pretences of dress codes.
The cocktails were indeed very good. The Vesper was the best I've had in a long time. I wanted the'Smalltown Boy' cocktail next, but was told that it's no longer offer though it's still on the menu, because it's too spirit forward & the female clientele wants fruitier drinks. SMH
Bowie came across as trying too hard to be a concept restaurant/bar without actually delivering on that concept. The interior & music were genuinely great, & that's where all three stars come from. Unfortunately, the cocktails were a letdown. Diana's drink tasted like canned peach purée spiked with alcohol, no complexity, just peachy booze. The other cocktail was equally flat, basically whisky with a hint of lemon. When paying for cocktails on the pricier side, I expect something interesting or well-crafted, but Bowie didn't meet its own hype. Service was fine, but our server never once asked how we liked our drinks or food. The no photo/video rule also felt oddly out of place. Overall, it seemed like Bowie put all its energy into the decor & music, without delivering on the experience it promises.
I had the best night at Bowie. Tucked away in the heart of Montreal, this place seriously gives off that hidden speakeasy vibe. Initiate lighting, moody ambiance, & a killer cocktail menus that blew me away. The Asian-fusion dishes were on point, every bite was flavourful & beautifully plated. The bao buns & tuna tataki are a must-try. If you are looking for a chill spot that nails both good & drinks, this is it. Will definitely be back!
Went to Bowie with my friends after a lovely dinner at Dorsia. They offer a big variety of drinks including some of their signature cocktails. The music wasn't too loud & complemented a general classy vibe of the place. The prices are more than fair & their staff is always ready to assist you with any special requests you may have.

I had an amazing night at Bowie. Everything from the decor to the food & ambiance were impeccable. Zak at the bar was so knowledgeable & prepared me the best cocktails I've had in town !!
Ce lieu est tout simplement exceptionnel. Dès l'entrée, on ressent une ambiance d'élégance & d'exclusivité incomparable. Le design est à couper le souffle, chaque détail a été pensé pour créer une atmosphère luxueuse & captivante. Les cocktails sont des oeuvres d'art, le service est impeccable, & la musique sublime l'expérience. C'est clairement LA place où être à Montréal si vous recherchez une soirée unique & raffinée. Attention : c'est ultra sélectif, mais c'est ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus spéciale. Si vous voulez impressionner ou simplement vous offrir une expérience hors du commun, le Bowie Lounge est un passage obligé. Réservez sans hésiter, mais préparez-vous à être ébloui. Bravo à toute l'équipe, spécialement Amine, c'est un sans-faute !
