Bowie est souvent décrit comme un joyau caché et élégant à Montréal, doté d'une atmosphère sophistiquée, d'un éclairage tamisé et d'un design intérieur impressionnant qui en fait une destination prisée pour les sorties entre amis et les célébrations. De nombreux clients louent la musique dynamique, l'énergie entraînante et la qualité de la cuisine fusion asiatique, soulignant que certains membres du personnel offrent un service exceptionnel et attentionné qui améliore l'expérience globale. Toutefois, les avis demeurent partagés concernant la constance opérationnelle, certains visiteurs signalant des temps d'attente prolongés, une qualité de service inégale et des frustrations liées aux politiques d'entrée, à l'application du code vestimentaire et à une règle stricte interdisant les photos qui peut être perçue comme rebutante. Bien que les cocktails soient souvent soulignés comme un élément marquant, les avis sur leur rapport qualité-prix et leur complexité varient, et si de nombreux clients prévoient de revenir pour l'ambiance unique, d'autres estiment que l'établissement peine parfois à concilier son concept haut de gamme avec une exécution fluide et professionnelle.
I've come here often. I took friends from out of town - some have been here before & I arrived 30 minutes after they did... we reserved a table... 1 hour in we still have water I had to flag down the bustboy to meet our server... anyway in the whole 2-3 hours we were there we were served drinks once & food we got a half order & the rest I told the server 3 different times & he said he would bring it. I only got it 3 times after I asked the bill & left no tip because ive never received such horrible service. The server was hugging & talking to girls at other tables so obvs hes not too busy & wouldn't come to our table.
It's the first time ever I have left a 0% tip while my friends still wanted too because they always do.
When I talked to the host for feedback the server came back directly to me to say'thanks for snitching & you left 0% tip'. Sir, the 0% tip at the end was because in 3 hours we had seen you twice & we had to flag people giving water to get you... it's pretty hard to get 0% tip & for you to achieve it means a lot. The fact that not only was he rude the whole night (2-3 times he saw us) plus coming up to me is such a lack of professionalism i dont understand how's he's a server.
If you are a local only come for drinks & If you are visiting they are way better places to visit as a speakeasy. I had to bring the host & the manager involved which i never do but did because I've never seen this behavior anywhere & I travel a lot.
How do you serve us 3 drinks (3 people) in 2-3 hours? Do we have to beg you to give you money?
Manager was great but please have a talk with your staff about how sales work - put your ego aside & also if you have friends coming - instead of talking & hugging them the whole night - maybe do your job??? I was so embarrassed bringing people I know here with this behavior, thought the server would try to fight me at the entry.
Honestly there is so much better, go on TikTok & Instagram & look at speakeasy. PS 1 am a local.
We ordered two entries, first one came on time. When the second didn't I asked he said he would follow up. 1 hour passed (he never came) once again I had to find him walking around to ask him & he said'I guess they forgot' sir I told you at the table one hour before I think they did & to check it..
My friends were there from 9:30 ish & I arrived around 10 & we left around midnight.
One drink each…
I went out but im still shook at the audacity & im not even a mean person, takes a lot for me to lose my cool. Maybe the behaviour was because I was a woman? Idk?
I also don't want to be rude because it doesn't matter if you buy 1 drink or buy 1000$ of stuff but you guys lost a lot of $$$$$ especially that we were celebrating the sell of a big business in the USA. My friends don't need to have brand names like people do in MTL to spend & we spent it all on other better places we've been in the past.
I don't believe I'll be back or will invite people who are visiting / client meetings etc.
Really left a sour taste.
Again thank you to the manager & host for listening. To the server, I understand stressful busy nights happen - but in this case it's hard for me to sympathize or try to put myself in your shoes when I see you hugging & talking & giggling with girls at other tables for hours on end. You were sassy, rude & unprofessional in the way you talk since the first word like if it was a task to get our order of 2 lychee, 1 beer, 1 bok, 1 slider.
Bowie is great & of great potential, but it is not that high up to have behaviour like this, we are not in the top of the top, so it's quite ridiculous & a'show'. I usually leave a tip but I didn't want to encourage such behaviour as most people would usually give in. Things like this needs to be addressed & reading reviews I see this is a recurrent issue. Your women staff / servers I have never had an issue or the staff at the bar. We had people join us & we had to text them to meet us at the next place because the service was so bad. Feel free to check the cameras
Visited yesterday Saturday June 6, & it was honestly one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. The venue was so overcrowded that it became genuinely difficult to breathe. There was no airflow, & the entire place felt like a sauna. Everyone was drenched in sweat, panting, & visibly struggling with the heat & lack of ventilation.
The number of people inside was excessive. You could barely move, & instead of enjoying the night, people were trying to find somewhere to catch their breath. It felt suffocating. My friends & I still felt sick after coming home hours later & trying to recover from how traumatizing that was. No one should leave a club feeling physically unwell because of the conditions inside. Had we not left immediately, one of us would have definitely passed out
I even brought the issue up to staff, a lady at the coat check, explaining that people were struggling to breathe & that the heat is unbearable. The response was careless & dismissive, with no concern shown despite how many people were visibly uncomfortable & complaining.
& don't even get me started on the bathroom situation. Waiting 30-45 minutes to use the bathroom is absolutely ridiculous. For the number of people allowed inside, there are clearly not enough facilities. Three individual stalls shared by hundreds of people? That's completely inadequate.
Bowie is known to get crowded on Saturdays, but what happened yesterday went far beyond a busy venue. It felt like a genuine safety concern. Management needs to address the overcrowding, improve ventilation, & provide adequate bathroom facilities before someone gets seriously hurt. Do better.

Wed night with Live Salsa Band, private, classy & the staff are above & beyond from the reception to the waitress - def come back again for food. My drink was delicious with Kalamansi Gin & free snack. Too bad I don't have any photo due to the policy but that way you experience the whole atmosphere with no distraction, Bravo!
Avoid this place. Reservation is a must, but honestly, don't even bother.'
The staff at the front door are shockingly unprofessional & rude especially a taller guy with a buzz cut working on Saturday night at 10:30pm June 6th currently letting people in who specializes in being passive-aggressive. They act like they're doing you a massive favor just by letting you breathe their air.
A speakeasy is supposed to feel exclusive & cool, but this place just feels hostile. Customer service is dead last on their priority list, replaced instead with an attitude-filled environment that will completely ruin your night. Save your money & go somewhere that actually values its guests. It is definitely not worth the hype.
Night of May 21st was the worst DJ I've ever heard of my life, might as well give a sticky iPad kid GarageBand & let him click through the copyright free sounds
I almost died in that place. In the dark entrance there is a completely hidden staircase going down. I took a step back thinking it's just a wall & I fell back & caught myself with one hand half way down backwards & smacked my head & smashed my toe. It could have been worse if I didn't have good reflexes. Guys seriously you can't have an open stairs going down with ZERO barrier or light - fix that!
