Review Summary

Grumpy's Bar feels like a Montreal institution, unpretentious, welcoming, and deeply rooted in the local community. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, with a timeless vibe that stays true to its neighborhood and its regulars, and the staff are consistently friendly. The focus is on good drinks and a solid beer selection, and the bar hosts a lively local music scene with bluegrass nights, open mics, and visiting acts, plus occasional stand-up nights, creating a sense of belonging that brings people back. A note for outdoor visitors: the outside area could benefit from heating lamps to make it usable in cooler weather, but the place remains straightforward, characterful, and without pretension, where conversations flow and new connections happen.

Not a good environment whatsoever. The bartender ignored me & my friends alll night. But more importantly the open mic night was incredibly sexist & only allowed men on stage. When we complained & asked when our friend would be up next, the guy in charge caressed her arm & told her that she'll be called when she's called & that the order of the sign up list didn't matter. When we began to grab our stuff & go the man called her name but we were already upset & leaving so we told him she wouldn't be going up. The man then proceeded to blame her for not performing & was saying negative things about her over the microphone. Anywho I'd only go if I were a man & didn't care about how women were treated.

Holy Moley this place is Fantastic! The staff & other patrons are all wonderful people. Although I think Nick the bartender cheats at arm wrestling . Will be my go-to spot whenever I'm in Montreal. Trivia night was a blast (thanks Michael) . No food so we ordered pizza delivery from our favourite place. Amazing spot! Sparky
