Overall, Cappella is described as a unique, intimate spot in the Old Port with beautiful decor and a welcoming staff, where the cocktails like Smoke and Velvet and the Amen stand out and mocktails such as Garden of Eden are enjoyed, small bites and even complimentary cannolis add to the experience, and the hidden entrance, intimate vibe, and good music create memorable evenings including birthday celebrations; some reviewers note high prices and limited space that can make conversations or dancing challenging, but most agree the atmosphere, service, and overall night out are worth returning for.
Nice new speakeasy with a fun concept-I loved that you have to write a confession before going through a'beer door' 😂
The staff are friendly & welcoming. I stopped by for a quick drink & really enjoyed the atmosphere. Love, love, love the music please don't ever change that.
There's also a section where you can sit & play games like cards, Uno, Jenga, etc., which is a nice touch. I had a vodka martini & it was well made.
There was a DJ playing, & as the night goes on, the vibe shifts into more of a club scene, which is pretty cool.
I'd definitely go back, especially to try the food next time.
Cappella speakeasy is a total Montreal gem! By day, it's a cozy, vibey café with incredible coffee & sandwiches, but the transition into the speakeasy is where the magic really happens. Maxine, Arielle & Joanne are amazing, my friends & I were genuinely treated like VIP while visiting for the first time from New York. They work like Edward Scissorhands!
The sound system is world-class-crisp, immersive, & perfectly tuned so you can feel the bass without it being overwhelming. They clearly prioritize audio quality, which makes every DJ set an absolute journey. Whether you're there for a chill afternoon brew or a late-night groove, the atmosphere is unmatched. Highly recommend if you appreciate great music , some of the best service I've found & even better drinks!
Cool little speakeasy - seems to function more like a nightclub than a cocktail bar though. We went at 9pm on a Saturday for a drink before moving on, & there were only a few others in there, most of them moved to the dance floor as soon as the DJ started. Music was great, drinks were average - menu was small, but that's expected if most people are there to dance. Cool spot in the old port!
Music is way too loud, I texted my friend in front of me, because it was the only way to communicate. Pretty sure this level of noise is dangerous for hearing, wanted to leave asap. & this red light, cool, but pictures end up to be really creepy
Excellent, friendly, efficient service. My Smoke & Velvet cocktail was good, my friend enjoyed her Garden of Eden mocktail. Mini sandwich was a regular size which was perfect. Complimentary cannolis were appreciated. My friend enjoyed her olives.
Board games were a unique I understand the club section needs to be loud but does the table/chairs area speaker need to be the same volume? I couldn't hear my friend across the table.
Super disappointed, we came in got drinks & my boyfriend joined us, they stopped him at the door saying he couldn't come in because he wasn't 21+. I told the guy the law for alcohol is 18+ & he didn't want to hear anything, then i asked the waitress & she said the age is 18+ but he isn't dressed'appropriately' when he had clean pants & a hoodie, same outfit my other friend was allowed to walk in with. The drinks were already paid for & we left without even drinking them…
Had an amazing time for my friend's birthday Saturday! We got all offered a glass of prosecco from the owner, as well as having amazing service from Josh at the bar! The music was good & the place beautiful! Thanks to all the staff :)
I had such a great night at Cappella. The atmosphere is intimate & mysterious, & the hidden entrance makes the whole experience feel special. The music was on point all night & the cocktails were excellent. The staff was welcoming & the vibe was just right - not pretentious, just a really good place to enjoy a night out with friends. Definitely coming back
The venue's decor was nice. The DJs were good, especially the deep house set. However, the prices were excessively high & definitely above expectations. I'm not sure if I would go again.
Went here for quick drinks & dance experience!!
The area is too small to accommodate more ppl
Drinks were expensive!!! & DJ was ok !! Didn't try any food here.
Loved the experience, definitely will be coming back when we in town, went for lunch, was pretty calm during the time we were in-house & sat in the courtyard which was a perfect blend with the weather 🙏🏽 Arancini was a blessing 🤟🏽
