Cappella is widely regarded as a unique and atmospheric speakeasy in Old Montreal, celebrated for its creative hidden entrance, stylish decor, and vibrant nightlife energy. Visitors frequently praise the venue for its high-quality cocktails, excellent DJ sets, and immersive house music, which helps transition the space from a relaxed daytime cafe into a lively club setting. While the staff is consistently described as welcoming, friendly, and attentive, some guests have noted that the music volume can become quite loud and that drink prices are on the higher side. Despite minor feedback regarding food service and noise levels, the overall consensus is that the location provides an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the spirit of the local scene.
Maxine (our server) took the time to suggest bars & clubs for us whilst offering a customer service friendly service. Cappella embraces what Montreal night life has to offer. Cocktails are elegant, the music is bumpin, don't miss out on your opportunity. You will not regret it
One of the best speakeasies ive been to. If ur in montreal on a Friday, you def wanna go there. The vibe & the music is the lit! Such polite & friendly stuff too. Loved it
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
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 :)
