HELM microbrasserie feels welcoming with a strong beer selection and consistently good food, and the staff is frequently praised for friendliness and knowledge. The atmosphere is laid back and convivial, making it a great spot to watch a game, hang with friends, or unwind after a concert, with a cozy vibe and sometimes a vibrant buzz. The menu offers a diverse range of options, including vegan dishes and shareable bites, and the beer list is noted for variety and quality that pairs well with meals. The service stands out for accommodating groups and taking care of guests even on busy nights, with several mentions of thoughtful and attentive staff. The space sometimes features art exhibitions and occasional events that add a fun, social dimension, and the terrace provides a pleasant option in good weather. Overall, Helm delivers solid beers, tasty bites, and a friendly, easygoing experience that keeps locals returning.

Très bon bar avec des bonnes bières & de la bonne bouffe

Malheureusement dû au manque de staff, 2 serveurs pour tout le resto incluant aller chercher la bouffe en cuisine, servir aux tables, faire payer les clients & j'en passe, aucun égard au niveau du service. Après avoir tenté à plusieurs reprises d'accrocher quelqu'un pour avoir une deuxième bière, on nous a apporté la mauvaise sorte, une blonde forte au lieu d'une rousse..... Nous nous sommes levées & avons été attendre 10 minutes au bar pour payer. Poutine tiède très ordinaire. Dommage, l'endroit est intéressant & l'ambiance y est bonne, bien situé dans le Mile-End.

Trois étoiles car l'établissement a le mérite de proposer des bonnes bières pas très chères.
Sinon en ce qui concerne le service j'ai même pas envie d'en parler.
C'est tellement frustrant d'attendre une bière 1h.
C'est encore plus frustrant quand il n'y a personne dans le bar.
Mais le summum c'est que des gens qui arrivent après nous sont servis bien avant nous.
Pour finir quand même sur un bon point ils mettent de la bonne musique.

The beers were delicious, but the nachos were very disappointing despite being named after the bar. They were cold when we got them, soggy on the bottom, & looked thrown together haphazardly. Whole cilantro stems, some nachos without any toppings, & others buried under a sea of raw tomato & corn. Fine for 5$, not for 22$.

Service was average, atmosphere bustling & pleasant. Decent, but I don't think this is the five star experience everyone raves about. Maybe we got unlucky with food last night.

Helm is such a vibe! The drinks are top-notch, the atmosphere is welcoming, & the service is consistently great. I went on a night they were hosting free bingo, & it was way more fun than I expected - super interactive & had the whole bar laughing & cheering.

It's the kind of place where you can chill with friends, enjoy quality drinks, & still get a little surprise fun like bingo. Definitely coming back - Helm nails it every time!

I've only ever had beer here now that I think about it. The Saint-V is my fave. Nice bar. Good beer.

Great place to have a drink, hamburger was too greasy to my taste tho. Chicken wings were barely cooked. Gin was perfect

Micro-brasserie servant leur propre bière. Le service est bon, & la place est assez frequentée. Comme bien des bars, parfois difficile de s`entendre.

My husband & I were really impressed. We had great service (thank you Vanessa, our Bartender/Serveuse extraordinaire), the food was delicious, the two micro beers we had were also delicious, & it was a very cool vibe, atmosphere. It's easy to see why it gets good ratings. We will be back.
