Diese Onze Jazz Bar agit comme un lieu dédié où des performances musicales sophistiquées rencontrent une sélection soignée de petites assiettes à partager. Le programme culinaire se concentre sur des tapas d’inspiration espagnole, proposant des préparations classiques telles que des patatas bravas, des olives marinées et des plateaux de charcuteries conçus pour une consommation conviviale. Chaque plat privilégie des ingrédients authentiques qui complètent le rythme et l’atmosphère des sessions de jazz live organisées au sein de cet espace intime. L’aménagement physique favorise une dynamique sociale décontractée, permettant aux clients de se concentrer sur l’interaction entre les arrangements sonores complexes et les offres culinaires savoureuses. Les visiteurs découvrent un menu direct qui met l’accent sur la tradition et l’équilibre des saveurs plutôt que sur des concepts de fusion élaborés. L’établissement maintient une attention constante sur l’association essentielle entre l’art vivant et des amuse-gueules de qualité dans un environnement compact et acoustique.
Diese Onze Jazz Bar est largement reconnue comme une institution montréalaise de premier plan, appréciée pour son cadre intime en sous-sol, ses performances de jazz en direct exceptionnelles et son atmosphère chaleureuse. Les visiteurs louent fréquemment la qualité des prestations musicales et le talent des musiciens qui insufflent une énergie vibrante dans tout le lieu. Bien que l'espace puisse devenir assez bondé et chaud, les clients trouvent généralement les plats de style bistro, tels que les pétoncles et divers plats principaux, délicieux et bien présentés. Le service est souvent décrit comme professionnel, amical et efficace, bien que la popularité du club rende les réservations à l'avance fortement recommandées pour obtenir les meilleures vues sur la scène. Malgré quelques avis mitigés concernant le sucre des cocktails et le niveau sonore occasionnel, le consensus souligne une expérience authentique et unique qui fait de cet établissement une destination incontournable pour les amateurs de jazz.
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.
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.

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.
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!
A classic jazz club with outstanding music. Also friendly helpful waitstaff & reasonable food at reasonable prices. Basement location provides an atmosphere that's a nice mix of bar vibe, intimacy, & wood-panel elegance.
$15 cover.
We suggest you reserve for dinner so that you get a good seat with a view of the performance. Otherwise you'll likely still get seated but no great view.
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.
