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.
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 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.
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.
