Diese Onze Jazz Bar est décrit comme un endroit intime et chaleureux où le jazz en live s'exprime avec une grande maîtrise et une ambiance conviviale. Les avis soulignent une acoustique intime, un petit espace qui donne l'impression d'être au cœur des performances, et une programmation variée allant du big band à des duos ou trios plus intimistes. La nourriture et les boissons reçoivent des éloges pour leur qualité et leur présentation, avec des plats simples mais soignés et des cocktails bien préparés, même si certains trouvent les prix élevés ou le menu peu flexible sans options d'accompagnement. Le service est globalement apprécié, avec un personnel attentif et efficace même lorsque l'établissement est très fréquenté, et l'expérience est décrite comme fluide et centrée sur la musique. La fréquentation est dense et il est fortement recommandé de réserver à l'avance, car l'endroit est une véritable institution du jazz dans le quartier et attire un public fidèle. L'atmosphère, le décor en sous-sol et la connexion entre le lieu et la musique sont perçus comme des atouts majeurs, malgré quelques avis signalant une ambiance bruyante lors des soirées surchargées et une vue parfois partielle selon l'emplacement.
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.
What an incredible first experience at Diese Onze Jazz Bar! My coworkers told me this place was a true institution for jazz in the Plateau neighborhood, & I couldn't agree more. We were there for Big Band Tuesdays with Joe Sullivan & it was simply spectacular.
The place was absolutely packed for the Tuesday 7:00 pm show, which speaks volumes about its popularity. Seeing a 17-musician Big Band on such a small, intimate stage was truly impressive. The passion & energy from the musicians were absolutely contagious-it was a breathtaking show! You absolutely have to call & book ahead of time, as this place is incredibly popular.
The entire night was exceptional, not just the music. The food was great; our poke bowl & burger + dessert were all delicious. A huge shoutout to the server who was working all the tables; she was so friendly & provided amazing service despite seeming to be the only one working, along with the fantastic bar staff of course!
This was a great evening out, & it certainly won't be my last. If you're looking for a genuine, high-quality jazz club in Montreal, Dies Onze is the place to be. Can't wait to go back!

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.
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.

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.
Coming here to check out the live music & I really enjoyed the experience overall. The drinks were about average prices (beers approx 7-10$ per pint) & about 7 taps available with a limited variety of food available which seemed to be more sharable plates. While I didn't have any food I cannot report on the quality of this directly. The ticket price for the live music was 15$ which is a bit on the higher end for local bands to perform for an hour of music. A nice change of scenery to enjoy overall but something to consider. Overall a good place to check out but for the pricing, drink selection or live music experience isn't anything particularly unique but the ambience & vibe is definitely great & highly suggested!
Basement jazz club. Reservations strongly recommended, at least for the weekend. We came on a Saturday of the Labor Day long weekend & all of the seating, including at the bar, with visibility to the band was full. There was also seating without visibility that was mostly empty.

Ce petit bar sympathique est vraiment un endroit cool pour aller écouter du jazz live & prendre un verre.
Par contre, la bouffe est très très ordinaire & les tapas ne valent pas le coup. Le tartare de boeuf était tout aussi caoutchouteux que les calmars frits. Quand ce que tu manges de meilleur, c'est le pain du panier qui vient avec le souper, c'est signe que la cuisine n'a pas fait ses devoirs.
75$ service inclus pour deux petits tapas, deux verres, deux espressos & le "cover" pour le band live, c'est un peu cher & à ce prix là, la bouffe est mieux d'être excellente, ce qui n'est vraiment pas le cas.
La prochaine fois que j'y vais, je mange un bon souper ailleurs avant & je me contente de boire un verre.
(Éviter leurs vins rouges, qui sont souvent servis trop chauds)
Bref, c'est un endroit pour écouter de la musique, pas pour manger...
