Casa del Popolo feels like a cozy, affordable hub for small concerts and hanging out with friends, with a welcoming vibe, a characterful space, and good sound on the main stage; reviews praise the diverse local lineups and solid drinks and food, including tasty vegetarian options, while some critiques mention inconsistent scheduling, setlist uncertainty, and the bar being a bit loud for conversation; the staff are described as friendly and caring, and the venue is seen as a local gem with accessibility for mobility needs, though a few comments suggest improvements in lighting and clarity around events.
Horrible service & they asked to tip them more after I already gave them a tip. They didn't seat us, we had to walk up to them to order, & it was just 4 draft drinks.
J'ai y été pour voir un show live. Ça disait portes 6:30pm & début 7:30pm. On est arrivés à 7:30pm, & même rendu 9:20pm le groupe affiché n'avait toujours pas joué. Si vous voulez accueillir divers artistes, c'est correct mais créez au moins une''setlist'' ou je ne sais pas. J'y allais pour voir du post-hardcore/rock, pas du trip hop/chants bourrées d'autotune. J'ai appris que le groupe affiché jouait en dernier dans la soirée...je trouve ça dommage. Seul truc positif: c'était pas cher & il n'y avait pas de coat check.
Sinon, le lieu est bien. Le drink que j'ai pris était bon & pas trop cher. La salle de spectacle a vraiment du cachet, & la qualité de son est bonne. La musique de fond est un peu forte dans le bar par contre...parfois c'est difficile de s'entendre parler.
C'est pas mauvais comme place, mais selon moi il y a mieux à Montréal.
Casa Del Popolo has & always will be a safe space for any & all to enjoy a moment of reprieve from the harshness of the world. The staff & owners are sane, lovely, & caring people that genuinely care about their customers & the workd around them.
Been coming here for twenty years. Wifi & credit cards have changed the vibe ever so slightly but all in all good changes. Always interesting music & the recent editions to the (always) vegetarian or vegan menu are great. I love the tofu salad & the new al pastor tacos.
I've only ever had good times & good food here. I went for tacos today & liked the pleurote & jacquiers ones. There are a lot of vegan options so I'll be back. The bartender was rude at first so I assumed she was having a hard day. I gave her a good tip anyway, I don't know if she saw. she warmed up to me afterwards 💗 & asked me to give feedback about the food so I said the tofu tacos I ordered were too spicy & she said she'd pass the word to the chef 👩🏻?🍳
