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.
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.
