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.
Overall, Bowie is described as a stylish, intimate spot with a speakeasy vibe, standout decor and music, and a warm, attentive staff that makes guests feel welcome. The drinks and food are frequently praised, with several standout cocktails and dishes noted, though a few reviews point to high prices and occasional mismatches in service or timing. Many visits highlight memorable atmospheres and good moments with friends, while some experiences mention slower or uneven service, long waits, and the occasional misstep like over salted dishes or a billing hiccup. The dress code, photo policy, and entry dynamics are cited by some as part of the vibe, for better or worse, but the overall tone emphasizes Bowie as a place with strong potential for a fun night out and repeat visits.
Loved the vibe & the music was really good. Nouha was our waitress & it was my friend's birthday, she brought her a tiramisu with sparklers & we didn't even have to ask. She's truly the best, can't wait to go back !
We usually really love going out to Bowie, being residents of Old Montreal, yet tonight it really felt off. The usuall tall & handsome doorman was not working & instead there was an incredibly rude & unnecessarily obnoxious woman who's attitude would be more appropriate as a prison guard than a doorwoman of an upscale nightclub. She ignored many people who came out for a smoke break & made them wait 30 minutes in the cold without their coats. She let in tons of men despite many top model looking women trying to get in & have a good time. As a result, the crowd inside was mostly sullen men & not the usual fun party vibe. I understand that sometimes the club can reach capacity, but the selection process left much to be desired, the club was half empty & not fun which was truly surprising as it is my number one go to for a fun night out with my girlfriends. Please bring back the charming, usual doorman, he helps make Bowie the number one destination for Montreal's glitterati.

Food is surprisingly good for a more of a bar vibe establishment.
My favourites were Japanese Taco, wagyu dumplings & Oysters.
Atmosphere is fun & on wknd nights, the restaurant turns into a very fun bar with dancing. 4 stars because some dishes were not great & drink prices are on the high side.
Love Bowies vibe & amazing food!! I've been there a bunch of times & was such a good experience, until last night. I came with a big group of people so we split up into cars, they got there before us & when we arrived I was very rudely spoken to by the tall gay man bouncer. He gave me a stupid excuse that they were full while my friends inside told me there was a lot of room. Then he proceeds to let in 10 people but wouldn't let me & my friend in. We shouldn't have been treated so terribly for doing nothing & in the future I will think twice before coming here. Hire a nicer bouncer to represent your place.

One of a kind vibe with an exceptional team! Special thanks to Fernando & Laurent for their constant hospitality towards myself & my guests. If there's one door to knock on for a great Saturday night with friends it's this one.
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!
Vibe was good service was good expect this one waiter. We didn't know we weren't allowed taking videos of our own friends , this one guy came up to us but we thought he told us we couldn't have flash but clearly we didn't hear well. He then came back enraged & yelled & he's like I'm getting the bouncer you're leaving now. Nice way to treat a paying customer.Wouldn't go back. Unprofessional. You should advise your customer when entering & not with a small sign at the entrance where it's dark & you can't see well.
LOVE! Went the first night it was open. The vibes are immaculate & some standouts were their spin on a negroni & the sliders. Obsessed & will be back ;) (update: I went back for my birthday & it was EVEN BETTER)
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.
