Le 4e Mur is widely celebrated as an exceptional and exclusive speakeasy in Montreal, known for its intimate, sophisticated atmosphere and creative, high-quality cocktails. Many visitors praise the immersive experience, which frequently includes engaging murder mystery puzzles and surprise burlesque or theatrical performances that elevate the evening. While the service is often described as friendly and attentive, some guests have noted occasional inconsistencies regarding wait times or communication. Although the food portions are sometimes viewed as small, the overall consensus highlights a unique, memorable destination that successfully blends entertainment, mixology, and a sense of mystery.
To be frank I did almost get crushed by the powerful door when my friends & I walked in. That was however the only downside of the night. This place is quite interesting with the ability to play a mystery game while you sip on beverages. Speaking of beverages & games, you win the victory shot if you correctly solve the puzzle which does have ginger beer in it. A fun surprise was also a burlesque show! We left a few origami surprises as a token of gratitude
This was our second time coming here, which we were excited about because we didn't stick around long enough the first time to complete the mystery. We came in at 10pm on a Saturday night & waited 15 minutes for our party of 2 to be seated. Not a bad start. It took 10 min to get waters, another 10 to get our menus. Our waitress didn't say anything to us & we waited 20 minutes before we had to flag her down to order our first drinks. Next thing you know, a burlesque show started, which we didn't expect based on the schedule online, so we attributed the slow service to the performance going on.
As we waited a while for our drinks, the large table of 8 beside us were loudly discussing the answers to each of the clues & waving their phone flash lights in order to read. They did this for the next TWO hours & no one came by to say anything to them, despite it being disruptive to our entire half of the room.
While being blinded & spoiled for all of the clues, we got to watch our waitress seat 10 more parties while avoiding our table & the table beside us who were waiting to order their first drinks. Sipping on burnt meringue that smells like an oven fire unfortunately did not elevate the mood (don't recommend the Fantastik cocktail, as pretty as it looks). Eventually (about 50 minutes later) we were able to get our waitress's attention & took initiative to just order our remaining 4 drinks & ask for the rest of the clues. She didn't come back for 10 minutes so we asked another waitress who came by to pick up our empty glasses if we could at least get the last clues.
Because no one had said anything to us, we hadn't realized our phones were necessary to actually solving any of the clues (when we came a year ago everything could be solved with pencil & paper). Once we realized that, we were able to solve everything in 30 minutes, but by that point our timer showed that we'd been sat for 2.5 hours.
Thankfully, all of the AI art meant no artists were harmed in the making of this experience.
Fun concept, but we won't be back for the updated mystery. If you want to go, maybe go on a late weeknight where you have a better chance of being noticed by the staff.
We went on a Sunday, it was busy for a Sunday night but the waitress did an amazing job handling everyone we never had to try hard to get her attention. There was a burlesque show that was fun to watch. The murder mystery game was a good surprise. Great for groups we had good laughs & really enjoyed our time. The drinks were so tasty & the Brie was amazing as well!

This was so fun!! You get to solve a mystery & it's hard to find the entrance. I had an awesome cocktail & we had a great time cracking the case (the bring you shots if you do). They also have a lot of non-alcoholic cocktails & options & the meatballs were delicious!
Randomly went here on a Sunday night & found out they do burlesque shows on Sunday nights, which was a surprising experience. The shows were a nice mood change. The drinks here are decent - I like how they have preset mocktails as well. We didn't participate in solving the murder mystery, but the table next to us did & they really seemed to enjoy it. Overall, a great vibe, especially if you go with a group.
You go here for the Ambiance, 100% an aura in this spot.
Didn't catch the show, but it's still a great experience, slightly on the pricey side ( not in a bad way ).
The drinks are well crafted, the service is excellent, & there's an additional mystery game with a free shot once completed, so in the end everything feels justified for the price.
This place definitely stands out among the scores of bars in the area. A'true' speakeasy with the vibes, the warmth, & the service. The drinks are very well made- & only a little bit more expensive than the average Montreal cocktail. It's totally worth it to pay a little bit more for the superior quality - & there are some very interesting options on the menu. I requested the server for'an interesting whiskey cocktail' & was blown away with the concoction they made me. It is highly recommended to go in a group & try a hand at the murder mystery game. Definitely a Montreal experience to not be missed!
The cocktails here are excellent! Plus, you can enjoy a murder mystery game while you hang out. Solve the mystery, & you'll earn a free shot. Highly recommended!
