Fitzroy comes across as a lively and spacious spot with plenty of games like pool, foosball and a big screen for sports, offering a generally welcoming atmosphere with friendly bartenders in many reviews; the vibe is upbeat and sociable, though a few guests report rude or inattentive service and inconsistent staff; the music is often very loud, which can make conversation difficult, and some comments mention paying deposits for billiards and long waits without a reservation; the menu features crowd pleasers such as nachos, and the facility is praised for its versatile space and the option to move from billiards to table games or sofas; overall it is seen as a popular place for gatherings and casual nights out, but potential visitors should be aware of variable service, crowding and price levels.
I had a frustrating experience here. I added my name to play pool & waited over 3 hours, despite there being more than 10 tables. Only two groups were called during that time, which didn't seem right. We also saw people leave shortly after arriving, but we were never called. It felt like the system wasn't fair.
I came here to play pool. The music was super nice at a super good time. The suit security guards at the door were very respectful very nice would definitely recommend.

I've been in a lot of places around Montreal & this one still feels young! Waiting to play pool is awful tho... The longest time, we were there for 3 hours & we never could.
Very nice! Very, very nice! I like pool. Beer is expensive, but what can you do. It's a pool place, not a beer place. But beer is nice too. Had a great time. I love playing pool & drinking beer.
Nice place to hang out with friends on a Saturday night: have some drinks, play billiards, or watch a hockey game. It wasn't possible to reach anyone on the phone to make a reservation though, so it's better to come in earlier, not to wait for quite some time for a billiard table to be free. We came in at 7pm, got the table at 8ish & had to leave at around 10pm, as our total reservation time was over. It would be nicer if there were a bit more space. It was pretty much crowded when we were there. Don't expect a high-end service. The drinks wish a better quality; cocktails may not necessarily include the ingredients they actually should 😁. So, just pay attention to what they mix in together 😉. As for food, you can get some even after 10pm. The buffet works late. The important thing is that it's impossible to find a parking spot on Saturday night near the place! Consider taking a metro or whatever works best for you. Overall, it's a good place. Go, see & decide for yourself.
Very expensive, long waiting to play pool on busy nights (which is understandable) but they lie & mislead about the estimated waiting time so you stay & spend your money. Douchy vibes, some people are into it i guess lol. Apart from that the place is big, cute & the music is ok

Love that place to play pool or babyfoot. I like the fact that you can also have a drink in a cozy space, not just a pool bar feeling kinda thing. There's always a waiting list for the pool tables tho, so just be prepared to wait & have a drink or play babyfoot in the meantime. I find the drinks a bit boring, nothing special, but eh, the gin tonics are good ! They could also add vegan options to the food menu, that'd be nice (there's absolutely none.)
When you can get a table, it's a great billiards spot. When you can't, still a bar with a wonderful atmosphere where people are playing billiards around you. They also have slots & other games if that's your thing.
I heard of Fitzroy as a trendy place to host a birthday, I went to check it out first to see if it was my kind of scene. Online the food & drink menu looked great, I wish I would have gotten to try some but I didnt stay for long because the service was sorely lacking.
We went in for about 9 pm & the place was moderately busy, we asked one of the two women at the reception that we wanted to sit down for food & drinks. She simply waved us toward the tables & said " If you find an empty spot you can sit there" It was our first time so we weren't at all familiar with the layout. There were a few tables that could sit 6 people that only had 2 people sitting at them & we didnt want to bother them to see about sharing or moving the tables apart. When we did find somewhere to sit it turned out the table was reserved by people that were up playing pool across the bar & their friends shooed us away. We weren't able to find a waiter to help us & since the receptionnist hadn't been super helpful the first time around we decided to leave.
I was pretty disappointed with my visit, I wish I had been able to try the food & drinks.
