Le Bar Baby is described as more than just a vibe, an underground speakeasy style venue that pairs intimate atmosphere with a serious cocktail program and a top tier sound system. The space feels cool and effortless, with a mood that shifts from sultry lounge early evenings to a club scene with house music later on, and vinyl nights that particularly thrill music lovers. Cocktails are frequently praised for craft and creativity, while the staff are consistently welcoming and attentive, making the experience feel special. The crowd is often described as chic and friendly, and the overall ambiance is elegant with dim lighting and stylish decor. Some notes call out higher price points and the occasional tough door or long wait, but the consensus is that the experience justifies it. Le Bar Baby stands out in Montreal nightlife as a must visit for those seeking memorable nights, great energy, and a place that many look forward to returning to.
Je n'ai jamais vécu une aussi mauvaise expérience à un bar. Moi & mes amis sommes rentrés seulement en nous demandant notre âge & si on était dans la vingtaine. L'attitude du bouncer était bête & arrogante.
Une vingtaine de minutes plus tard mon conjoint a voulu nous rejoindre, & s'est fait refuser l'entrée. Il a salué les bouncers & a dit qu'il avait des amis qui l'attendait en bas. Ils ont refusé de lui laisser rentrer sous prétexte qu'il n'avait pas le bon « vibe » & n'avait pas été assez « poli » pour rentrer dans le bar car il avait ensuite quitté pour me téléphoner. Mon copain leur a demandé s'ils ont refusé l'entrée parce qu'il est mexicain. À voir les autres reviews, définitivement ils ont une attitude discriminatoire.
J'ai ensuite été leur parler moi-même en essayant de leur expliquer que le français n'est pas sa langue première & qu'il avait quitté pour me téléphoner qu'il était arrivé & savoir où mes amis & moi étions. Ils n'ont rien voulu entendre en répétant qu'il n'avait pas eu la bonne approche avec eux & qu'ils n'acceptent pas ce genre d'attitude dans ce bar. Je leur ai expliqué qu'il était avec nous & que nous venions pour acheter des cocktails etc, ils n'ont rien voulu entendre sauf si on achetait une bouteille, tout ça encore une fois avec une attitude dégradante. Nous avons décidé de quitter puisque nous ne souhaitons pas encourager un endroit où les employés ont des propos discriminatoires & ne savent pas adresser la parole avec respect. Je les ai remercié en quittant & en leur souhaitant une bonne soirée, sans avoir de réponse de leur part. Bien vu pour la politesse & la courtoisie qu'ils réclamaient au départ. Franchement dégoûtée des employés & du bar. Je n'ai jamais eu une conversation avec autant de manque de respect & de considération.

I came around 1am as I finish work late, my girlfriend was already inside with some friends, when I get to the place the bouncer asks me'what do you want' in an aggressive tone, I tell him there's people inside wating for me, he says'I don't know you, I don't know your friends, you're gonna have tow wait till we let you in' again in a very rude & angry tone. I called my girlfriend, she comes out & tells the bouncers I'm with them, they say that she can come back in but I can't cause I was'rude' for not saying hi when I got there & if I want to come in I have to order bottle service. Long story short my girlfriend & I left on an uber.
One of the worst experiences I've had with a club, they gave no real reason for denying me entry, the only thing they said was 'he was rude for not saying hi'.
Very discriminatory toward non-caucasian customers. We were 2 friends pleasantly waiting in line, even chatting with others around us. Everyone else in the line made it in. The issue was also that people who were even behind us in the queue were able to get in but our party was told that the place is packed & that there was no space inside. Let to wait in -40?C weather & were not allowed to approach the space heater outside the entrance. Despite even offering to order bottle service, a long list of excuses were there to deny entry to my party of 2. After one bouncer was left alone outside he offered to let us in for $50. Needless to say that there were definitely spaces inside. The customer service felt humiliating & intimidating. I was made to feel as though I was being treated as a mere inconvenience. Extremely prejudiced location.
Had a really bad experience at this bar because of the bouncer named'Pony'. He was rude, aggressive, & completely unprofessional from the moment we arrived. There was no clear reason for the way we were treated, & when we tried to ask a simple question, his attitude only got worse.
Lovely bouncers, wiered clientèle atmosphere, we had some shocking reactions while we were dancing ( comments like : you guys occupied too much space'!!!!!!!'You guys are too much, dancing too much...' & other extremist religious comments
Great djs & nice staff once your inside but the bouncers are quite rude for no reason. I noticed that come up in a few other reviews as well so wanted to see for myself & they definitely weren't kidding! The experience once you pass the bouncers is great but I saw many people have poor experiences with them in just 1 night so I can only imagine on a regular basis. Went on a Friday night & within 20 minutes I saw them be rude & disrespectful to multiple people.

Le bar est vraiment génial , assumant qu'on te laisse entrer ! Le bouncer est vraiment arrogant malheureusement , mais une fois entrés , c'est un des meilleurs bars/speakeasy's de Montréal !
Loooooved this bar. William (the bouncer with face tattoos) is very gentle, friendly & respectful, we didn't have any problem whatsoever with him. Music was top. DJ Malka's energy was amazing & his set made us dance all night. Cocktails were a bit overpriced but strong! I am definitively coming back to this place.
Contrary to the negatives, I thought the bouncer was exquisite & I continue to think about his handsome face ornamentation long after leaving this carpeted establishment (in the best way 😮💨)
