Unfortunately, not my best experience in Montreal.
I arrived around 10 p.m. for a staff Christmas party & was met with a very rude doorman who questioned me excessively, to the point where it felt uncomfortable. I eventually stopped answering & asked my friend to come get me instead.
The ambiance inside was nice-very club-style-but the drinks were extremely expensive. Two gin & tonics cost me $40 + tips. This place is fancy, but the experience (especially at the door) didn't live up to that image.

Really disappointing experience at Flyjin. The bartender implied that people'usually tip 18 percent,' which felt completely insane considering they charge about $20 per Corona or vodka cran. Im usually as generous as possible with tipping - within reason. She came back with the machine expecting us to pay an extra $10 , I did it so not to cause any issues. Our drinks then tasted like pure cranberry juice with barely (if any) alcohol. We spent around $80 for two beers & two drinks that were basically juice. ($90 total for the extra tip) I wouldn't even have minded paying the extra 10 - if I had at least a shot of vodka in my drink.
The bouncer was the only saving grace. I let him know what happened on the way out. He apologized on behalf of the bar & even acknowledged that this has been an ongoing issue. That's the only reason this isn't a 1-star review.
Felt totally ripped off. Wouldn't recommend. I wish I could get my money back for those drinks. Bartender is so entitled & rude.

This place is awesome, amazing service. I couldn't put my drink down for one second without someone being there instantly to assist with a refill. The food is non stop & everything is incredible! Off the charts EVERYTHING! Would highly recommend, it's a great time.

Went to Flyjin on a Saturday evening to have some dinner & drinks. They started off strong with the sashimi & the cocktails as well. As the night went on it started to liven up & decided to order a bottle. When I asked if I could leave the bottle for another evening in the event I can't finish it, I was told yes & exchanged details with the bartender Juan. I tried making contact after that & instead got ghosted. Spent $250+ for the food & cocktails & $350+ for almost an entire bottle remaining as we left not long after & didn't get what was said. If you're getting a couple drinks & want decent food, go for it. Do not trust or expect anything beyond that except to get scammed out of a bottle if you leave it behind.

Our return to Flyjin was driven by the fantastic experience we had last year. Arriving with a group of girls for our annual trip, Jamie went above & beyond to ensure a memorable night for us. Despite a full coat check, he graciously handled our coats & even assisted in getting us drinks at the bar. The seamless entry on a busy Saturday night, coupled with consistently great vibes, made the night enjoyable. Expect fantastic dancing, an outstanding DJ, & exceptional customer service with delightful cocktails. We are already looking forward to coming back next year! Pro tip: Booking a table in advance is advisable as they tend to sell out quickly. Thank you Flyjin!

The ambiance at this bar is undeniably fantastic, & it's best experienced in person. While the drink options might be a tad limited, I've come to understand this might be a trend in Montreal. On a culinary note, their Wagyu is quite delightful. A recommended spot for sure!

Context: we came for dinner & stayed for the club.
The excellent: Service is fantastic. Top notch. This seems consistent across the board with all servers & ours was excellent as well as the other staff.
The good: Food is great. It's pricey, so know that coming in. It's definitely one of those places that will leave you hungry after ~$150 per person. The cod was the best I've had & I'm not a cod fan, but this cod, wow. Beef great. Dumplings were interesting. All prepared excellently. Very small portions.
Drinks were hit & miss. Espresso martini (with tequila) was amazing. Some others were not - whisky sour was weird, spicy tequila/fruity cocktail all right. Your mileage may very.
The iffy: Decor is... odd for this type of place. Sure, it's trendy. There's a lot of plywood involved & it leaves a musty musk in the entire place, & doubly bad if you go to the washrooms. Also plywood paneling. Seems like it was set up to get rebooted or torn out. Or maybe the building has water issues? Rest of the decor is as expected at the price point.
Club: it's a club. It gets pretty packed & not really much space for dancing so keep that in mind.
Would I go back or recommend? Probably not. Your mileage may vary. From a food/drink standpoint, there's other places I would try before circling back here since there was more "all right" than "wow" & at this price point everything could be "wow". It may be the club transformation that gets this place into a "jack-of-all-trades" situation.

What an incredible vibe & dinner! Miso cod, lobster & wagyu tacos were outstanding, better than anything I've ever had at Nobu. Service was outstanding & drinks perfectly presented. Will definitely be back again soon!

Nous étions un groupe de 15 personnes & le souper était très bon. Menu de groupe, les portions étaient généreuses.
Belle ambiance ! Mais attendez vous a une facture salée, 16$ un drink...
Service impeccable �
