S'inspirant des clubs membres du monde entier, Bowie propose à ses clients une expérience soignée avec une carte de cocktails soigneusement élaborée, un menu d'inspiration asiatique, le tout dans un cadre élégant pour des soirées inoubliables.
Bowie propose une ambiance chic et intime avec un décor soigné et une atmosphère qui peut basculer d'un lounge feutré à une soirée plus animée, le tout accompagné d'une musique live ou d'un DJ qui donne le ton. Le service est souvent salué pour son professionnalisme et sa chaleur, avec des conseils avisés sur les vins, les cocktails et les plats et une attention particulière lors d'occasions spéciales; toutefois certains retours pointent des moments de service lent, une coordination imparfaite et des erreurs de facturation, dont des surcharges et des demandes de remboursement difficiles. Des règles sur les photos et des choix de communication peuvent aussi influencer l'impression générale. Les plats et cocktails reçoivent des avis mitigés selon les expériences, certains commentaires mettant en avant une nourriture agréable et des boissons bien faites, d'autres trouvant l'offre décevante ou les cocktails trop simples et chers. L'ambiance et l'accueil restent des points forts pour beaucoup, notamment pour des sorties entre amis ou des anniversaires, et le lieu est souvent perçu comme exclusif et agréable à fréquenter. Dans l'ensemble, Bowie est vu comme un spot avec une vraie valeur ambiance et service, à laquelle s'ajoute une offre de boissons variée, mais avec des axes d'amélioration sur le rythme du service et la valeur perçue des boissons.
Absolutely impeccable experience at this location on a fully booked Saturday night; we showed up about 45 minutes before they opened 😅 & we were going to walk around when the host decided to let us in & essentially gave us VIP service (the place to ourselves pre opening). They served us a little amuse-bouche cheesecake for both our birthdays. We had the Champagne by the glass which is definitely worth it. Nothing but rave reviews from both Caroline & I. Will be coming back, no question.
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 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
We had an amazing night, food was great! Fernando, the waiter manager, provided outstanding service during our visit. He was attentive, professional, & genuinely welcoming. He ensured everything ran smoothly while personally checking in on guests, making us feel truly valued.
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.
Very nice place! Weird rule about pictures (not allowed) feels like a hidden place with a mix of different crowds. Drinks are good, so is the music. Beautiful interior look. Little well kept secret. I recommend!
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!
It's one of those wannabes L.A or NY spots but miss the mark..Hey it's Montreal a small city in North America..so just be yourself & your is good but just an average restaurant trying to be something that it will never be..3 or 4 years top
