Reviews for Gert's Bar & Café
The line is terribly long & you have to do the line for coat check even though You dont have a coat? This makes no sense do not come here
This is a shady establishment. They didn't ask for a coat check before we entered, & after we'd been drinking for almost two hours, they just grabbed our clothes & ran off. They confiscated our clothes, laptop, & backpack. They even rudely accused us of deliberately hiding our clothes & said we'd sneaked in. I believe that if you had told us your rules when we entered, we would have followed them, instead of being falsely accused for no reason.
Most chaotic entrance policy.
If the coat check policy is there you have to be clear at the beginning.
No one mentioned anything when we first entered, but after 2 hours inside someone just came & grabbed all of our stuff & said we are hiding them! At the end we have to pay a ransom to get them back :(
Gerts is SSMU's (Students' Society of McGill University) official student bar by night, & SSMU's official café by day. They have pretty good food & cheap drinks. #GertsTillItHurts
Good pastries, sandwiches & prices. Seating was limited & a bit slower service. I'd try it again.
As someone who witnessed the mayhem around the university center in the 2010's it's amazing to see Gerts revive like this. The service is great, the prices are fair & the space is well-organized. Kudos to the team behind this transformation & keep on being stunning!!
I think it had a good variety of things, convenient that it's on campus. The vibe is nice & I like their commitment to sustainability. Unfortunately for over 3$ you can buy this tiny chocolatine that you eat in two bites. Not worth it. Would rather go to a bakery. Prices are the same as a regular cafe
A McGill staple. Friendliest staff, you’re bound to have a good time, even if it’s just the little uni bar. New food menu is amazing. Chicken & pesto sandwich is a 10/10.
