Reviews portray Diese Onze Jazz Bar as a top Montreal jazz destination with superb live music, an intimate basement vibe, a sound that lets the performers shine, and solid food and drinks served by friendly and efficient staff in a charming candlelit setting; the venue can be busy and a bit loud during shows, seating is limited and views vary, and reservations are strongly advised for the best seats, with cover charges and meals sometimes adding up, but the overall experience is described as memorable, authentic and worth the visit for jazz lovers.
I eventually stopped coming here after one of the musicians (it was a latin band), came up to me while I was sitting at the bar, looked at me very closely, about 2 inches from my face, said something in Spanish in a very sarcastic tone & started laughing. I'm assuming it's some type of misogynistic strategy to make me feel'not so confident'. It was very hard to relax & enjoy myself in a place like this. A lot of judgment. Another set of musicians were standing outside on a different night, looked me up & down, & started laughing. This is embarrassing. I would not recommend women coming here.

Great jazz open mic night on Tuesdays. Great time with beautiful jazz lovers. I wanted to stay longer but public transit hours forced me out of there...
The energy in the bar was outstanding, everyone was vibing with the music, I had the steak tar tar & it was wonderful, would recommend, it does get a bit hot in the bar being so small.
My friends & I came here last night for my friends 50th birthday. We had confirmed in advance by direct phone /back & forth communications for our Party of 8 specifically to confirm the vegan option for dinner (you have to pay for dinner to watch the show & pay a fee for the show) Then, when we get there - they tell us sorry no vegan option everything was gone. She asked if there was anything else in the kitchen & the waiter said lettuce with oil. He said there was no other accommodation. & this for the birthday experience! Since we had called ahead, they should have made a note on our reservation knowing we had vegan. The host could have made an effort. The waiter could have talked to the cook. Instead she sat with a beverage. No hospitality. Did not care for the lack of hospitality. Did not like the experience! Would. Not. Recommend.
Had a fantastic night at this jazz club. The live music was incredible, & the atmosphere felt intimate & relaxing. The staff were friendly & kept everything running smoothly. At one point, the band played a request, which made the night even more special. Definitely a place I'd come back to ~
Amazing live jazz for my friend's birthday! Absolutely adored the music & the musicians were all incredibly talented.
Cocktails were okay, I really liked mine but many of my friends just found theirs okay. The one mocktail we ordered was ridiculously sweet (literally tasted like candy). He couldn't finish it.
Wayyyy too expensive. I had 2 small margaritas & I was charged 52$ with a 15% tip... never in my life have I had a worse drink for such an exorbitant price. never ordering anything there again. love the music but not the business
This cozy underground treasure punches well above its weight with outstanding live music & sound. My evening with the Malika Tiriolien quartet was unforgettable. Nice food & drink selection including fine cheese & a small but choice list of non-alcohol beers.
This is an incredible bar. The whole place works like a beautiful Swiss clock. I had the privilege of being seated where I could see the whole bar at work. The food was delicious & beautifully presented, the service was seamless (never ran out of water), prompt & efficient. & we could really focus on the great music.
Nice jazz place with live jazz bands. Place has some charm with lights & candles & of course piano. Food was good? But pricey. Cover charge for the show is 15$ & lasted 1 hour only. We expected longer time. Place was noisy even during the show.
