Chez Ernest - Comptoir de curiosités is described as a visually striking, eclectic venue with a cabinet of curiosities vibe and a steady stream of themed nights that make it a great place to gather with friends for stand up, improv, swing nights and live music, with atmosphere and decor repeatedly highlighted as outstanding while drinks, especially cocktails and the distinctive absinthe selection, are praised for quality and originality and prices are considered reasonable; many reviews note friendly, attentive staff and a welcoming mood, though some point to slower service at times, a smaller food menu and limited beer choices, occasional hygiene concerns or uneven experiences with staff, and a sense that energy can be loud or vary by event. Taken together, the impression is that Chez Ernest offers a memorable, dynamic nightlife experience with strong decor, creative drinks and frequent events that keep the space fresh, making it a go-to spot for a lively evening in Montreal.

Fun little bar lounge, with eclectic decor, almost like a movie set; chandeliers & clocks everywhere! & themed evenings to hype things…very enjoyable & friend staff!
Very cool place, super original. The decor is absolutely stunning. We came in the afternoon for a little dessert, & it was nearly empty. The service was great.

Great place! Went on a random Wednesday night, & it was amazing. The atmosphere was very fun; they had a music trivia night. They usually have different activities every weekday. The staff was super nice & easy-going. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend their « tartinades». Their kitchen stays open until late, which is amazing for a late-night bite with a drink. Overall, it was an amazing experience, & I would absolutely recommend it!!
