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.
A splendid evening with great food/drinks, excellent music & atmosphere. Got what we came for! The band was awesome, the place was packed (Monday nightl but that didnt stop couples from twirling to the music. Drinks were spot on, service was very attentive & friendly. We relished the salmon tartere salad but found the cheese platter a but underwhelming with insufficient spreads for the bread. Overall a fab experience & I'll definitely return for the music & food.
Went to see Phil Masse Trio Record Launch: Phil Massé - bass,
Sacha Desjardins - piano, Alexande Massé - drums . They were excellent. Loved the interaction between bass player & pianist. Food was surprisingly good. Service good overall. We did have a long wait.
Super bar jazz avec de très bon musiciens! J'y vais souvent les lundis jazz latin & c'est vraiment super le personnel est très aimable & c'est un belle ambiance de gens respectueux! Amenez-y votre S/O elle ou il va adorer!
Je ne peux pas commenter sur la nourriture je n'y ai jamais goûter mais elle a l'air bonne de ce que j'en aperçois! On peut voir par une ouverture les deux cooks cuisiner & ça a l'air très propre & bien fait!

We saw the Big Band avec le Benjamin Deschamps, & it was not be missed. This 17 piece jazz band was so tight & amazing. I sat at the bar with my family, & the staff was friendly, attentive, & we had a great view of the staff in the kitchen clearly enjoying the show as well as they bopped along. 100% would return to this venue, & would follow the band anywhere they go.
We enjoyed the warm ambience & engaged audience for the Marianne Trudel trip (who were fantastic!!). The club is geared to the music with numerous tables facing the small corner stage. A reservation is a smart. The kitchen was closed so I can't comment on the food.
Came across this Jazz Bar while visiting Montreal for the weekend. The Host was lovely & super accommodating, he found me a seat even though they were having a Christmas Special & the place was packed with reservations! The music was great & the basement was sweet & cozy.
Soirée sensationnelle avec le trio Dan Thouin, Guy Boisvert & Louis Vincent Hamel, trois musiciens subtiles qui semblent jouer facilement des pièces parfois complexes (tirées du Noël de Charlie Brown). Les poke sont bons & généreux, le Languedoc bio délicieux & Gary Tremblay le maître de cérémonie toujours aimable & souriant.
The steak was exactly how a steak in a basement jazz club oughta be: not the best in the world but very impressive; bloody, salty, & I had to fight it a bit. It was lying ceremoniously atop a bunch of stuff that is good for me. Their poke bowl & desserts are wonderful. I'll have to return for some tartare. The music is top notch as well as the drinks.
