Review Summary

Reviews describe Diese Onze Jazz Bar as a cozy basement venue that punches above its weight with outstanding live jazz, a warm intimate atmosphere, and a crowd that keeps coming back for both the music and the vibe. The performances are often intimate and energetic, with sound that stays clear from most seats and a small stage that makes the musicians feel up close. The food and drinks are praised for quality and a thoughtful selection, including cocktails and cheese, though some guests note prices can be high and the menu lacks more side dishes. Reservations are frequently recommended because the place fills up, especially for popular nights like big band or Tuesday shows. Service is generally described as friendly and efficient, with staff handling busy nights well, though occasional slowdowns or staffing constraints are mentioned. Overall, Diese Onze Jazz Bar is seen as a true Montreal jazz institution with a distinctive vibe that blends great music, a cozy setting, and dependable hospitality, making it a go-to for jazz lovers and a memorable night out.

The band was amazing, the vibes were great. 4/5 because they were not flexible on the menu at all. No sides or small plates. Server seemed annoyed. The cocktails were really good.

Excellent service de la part de notre serveur Pierre qui à été courtois, rigolo, agréable & approprié. C'est rare ces jours-ci de voir des serveurs avec de la classe & du charme comme lui. Excellent équipe, les cocktails étaient délicieux & bien préparés. Nous avons fait une réservation pour trois & nous avons étés placés très proche de la scène en dessous du speaker mais le volume était très agréable.

La nourriture était délicieuse & bien préparée, & le band Jazz très talentueux. Je recommande!

This is truly a Montreal institution for jazz lovers. Wide variety of music showcased each week, from big band jazz to intimate duos & trios, all top notch. Sound is excellent from almost anywhere - it's a very small club (& reservations are definitely recommended) with a small stage which makes for interesting layouts for the larger groups. Cover charge is reasonable (varies but averages $20) with a reduced price if you stay for the second set. Note if you do make a reservation you are expected to order at least some food.
It's easy to miss the basement entrance walking by though there's a small signboard. Note that due to the structural reality of a basement, there is a column that can partially obstruct certain seat views, especially from the curved middle off the bar. (That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for atmosphere, otherwise it's a fantastic place)
My experience is that the staff are professional, friendly & provide good service (some others have apparently felt otherwise). It's a small place with few staff so the busy servers & bartender have a lot to juggle & do it well.
The bar menu (including mocktails) is pretty extensive, my recent house specialty cocktail order was excellent & generously sized, yet still only $15, pretty standard.
I've read that the food menu was upgraded recently. I can say that my'tapas' (small plate) chowder bowl - yes it was big bowl - was fantastic & very reasonably priced ($20) - rich flavorful broth, generous portions of fish, mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, & octopus - all very fresh, hot & served with four toasted baguette slices. I also had an amazing chocolate mousse cake with an attractively plated side pool of berry sauce & berries - a large portion again reasonably priced at $15. My friends had a couple of the plats (main dishes) that looked great. (Menu is available at their website.) They come often & love the food so that is another vote of confidence!
The total bill (drink, food, cover charge, Quebec tax & tip) came in at around $90 & it was money well spent for a superb evening of live music & food. Friendly customers too. It's an institution for good reason!
Note that while the staff are all bilingual, usually the performers (if local) only will talk in French from the stage.

Great jazz bar. However be careful about reservations. If you don't reserve in advance you might find a table from which the stage is not seen. Cocktails are acceptable.
