Le 4e Mur offers a cozy, intimate speakeasy vibe with a hidden entrance and a constant sense of discovery through its cocktails, ambiance, and live entertainment. Reviews praise creative, well crafted drinks, stylish presentations, and a mix of burlesque nights and an immersive murder mystery that can turn a night into a playful group experience. The atmosphere and service are repeatedly highlighted, with attentive staff and skilled bartenders contributing to a welcoming mood. The mystery game and theatrical elements are a major draw for couples and friends alike, though a few guests felt the puzzles were too easy or not worth the price unless several people participate, and price/value comments vary. Food and snacks such as baked brie and meatballs get mixed feedback, but generally complement the drinks and add to the overall value of the evening. Some nights shine with a particularly strong show and interactive participation, while others note the price can be high for drinks alone. In summary, Le 4e Mur stands out as a memorable, inventive night out that blends theatre, cocktails, and a warm, intimate setting.
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!
Behind a black door, there is a brick wall. Once you solve that, you are taken underground to a barely lit, hidden Speakeasy. The ambiance had a mystique to it, a really fun atmosphere for fancy drinks & food. Drinks: totally worth the exorbitant price. They were honestly some of the best mixed & polished cocktails we've had in Montreal. The plus is every drink you get a clue to help solve a murder mystery. That was a fun addition, for sure. But you need all 6 clues to solve it, so 3 people ordering 2 drinks each would be recommended (or hey, go for 6 alone). Food: surprise here was the food open at 11h30 until 2am when we arrived. & although a small menu, damn delicious. The burrata & foccacia were certainly worth it. The plate of potatoes, too, was worth for a midnight snake. Service: server was professional, though he did disappear at times & we waited a while for another drink. Another server brought us the clues & round of drinks, very kind & explained the game. We got shots for solving the murder mystery too, Overall a great time to take friends or on a unique date idea.
The best speak easy I've been to! Stumbled upon this speakeasy on a Wednesday night as it was our last night in Montreal. It was fun trying to figure out how to get in. Then we went down a set of steep stairs. We lucked out & around 9:45 there was a burlesque show. It lasted about 10min. Ask for a seat in the stage room to see the show. There's a fun murder mystery game to play. You need to order 6 drinks to solve the game. Drinks & food were delicious! Highlight of our trip & definitely the best way to spend our last night in Montreal.
A very charming speakeasy-style bar with an optional fun murder mystery game! The drinks are creative, delicious, & beautifully presented, with a wide variety of cocktails available to suit different tastes. They also offer mocktail versions of some of their drinks!
3 of us came here to play the mystery & also enjoy some drinks. Both their alcoholic & non-alcoholic options were amazing. To add to the experience, the mystery was so much fun & we had such an interactive time trying to solve it. When we succeeded the staff also gave us a round of "small cocktail like shots". A very beautiful & well worth it speakeasy!

Want to cool off in the summer like James Bond with a Vesper? This is the place. Hospitality is through the roof if you can get past the intimidating door man but the server is charming in a devilish kind of way. Guy would be your guide to sin as he's the manager as well as the host of the free burlesque show offered there every Sunday & Wednesday (10 minute of performance at 9:30, & another 10 min performance at 10:50). They offer live piano at Tuesday & live jazz band on Thursday, so don't worry if you cannot catch the burlesque. Light appetizers are served but nothing fulfilling otherwise. The cocktails are priced at 17$ with tax & tip is 18% which rounds out to about 20$ a cocktail, so sip slowly. However the entrance is not wheelchair accessible, which is an unfortunate downside. The place is chic, professional, & suspire the definition of "mystery" in every facet of their existence. Highly recommended for a late night getaway.
The best way to experience this bar is (1) With 2-4 friends you can solve the mystery with; (2) By coming on a Wednesday or Sunday around 8pm, before the burlesque show; (3) Not on an empty stomach. The cocktails are very good, but the vibes & the service are even better. Treasure them. Doing all the cocktails & food, with 2 people only, the bill will be in the triple digits.
10 10 10s across the board for the atmosphere in general. Our server Guy was beyonce entertaining. A beam of positive & bright energy. It's contagious. We saw 2 burlesque shows & we had fun solving the murder mystery game. He was the highlight of our visit to Montreal. Highly recommend this place.
Eh. Neat idea but not executed in the best way. Would have been better if it was one or the other-Speakeasy OR Murder Mystery. Our friend saw it on TikTok & we saw several people there that seemed to only be there for the TikTok. You HAVE to order 6 drinks (& pay per drink), from specific menus in order to get the clues to solve the murder. You can not solve it with only some of the clues. Some drinks were good, some not. Annoying that you can't just order what you like. Door guy was really nasty when we asked if it was possible that friends that were coming in a bit could be seated with us (they couldn't)-how would we know what the seating situation is like inside if we've never been there & they're "secretive" about it? We got the focaccia. It was a very small serving & was just okay
This was an excellent experience! The staircase is hidden away behind a secret door, & the prohibition speakeasy atmosphere is perfect! We played the murder mystery game, & the cocktails that we ordered for it were some of the best drinks we'd ever been served. This experience was the highlight of the night. Definitely worth it!
