Le Système offers a lively and intimate atmosphere with a strong bar scene where cocktails shine and the music keeps the space energized; service is consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming experience, and the venue invites socializing and even dancing on a comfortable floor with a retro vibe; it is often recommended for a night out or just for drinks with light bites, though crowds can make it feel busy at peak times and cocktails can be pricey; overall it comes across as a versatile spot for a casual evening or late night, delivering good sound, great energy, and a vibe that makes guests want to return.
Drinks were good but disappointed that when I tried to pay cash, I was told by the bartender that they prefer debit or credit & wouldn't take cash because they don't keep cash on hand & therefore couldn't give me any change. Kind of ridiculous in this day & age. Won't be going back because of this.
Great local spot to get a taste of Montreal's finest local underground artists/community. They do not have tea, which would make this spot even more epic for music enjoyment without alcohol consumption, & increased chi elevation through the warmth of the drinks! Much love Xxoo

Systeme is such an amazing spot on the st Hubert Plaza. The vibe is inviting & the aesthetic is on point. We were a large group & the staff was immediately friendly & attentive. We started off the night with amazing drinks. The Dirty Martini & the virgin Moscow mule were the crowd pleasers. They also have fantastic wines & our waiter Simon was extremely helpful with recommendations. The Pan Con Tomates (sardines on toast) & the Bikini mushroom sandwich were phenomenal! The bread they use is delicious. Don't sleep on the croquettas; crispy bites of chicken, kimchi & manchego that were mouth watering. The quail was cooked perfectly & comes in as a close second to that amazing garlicky sardine toast, which I could have eaten all night ( literally still thinking about it the next day). We all loved the experience & can't wait to go back! Shout out to the new chef at Systeme Mark Villanueva (formerly chef at Denise) who's cooking up very special, neo-barcelona style dishes with fresh ingredients & love. Highly recommend! Thank you for a great evening!
Overall a cute bar, food & drinks are affordable, only thing that was bothering was that i left the place smelling like deep fried chicken, there needs to be some sort of ventilation other than that it's great, the service was good too.
Everything about this place is so vibey, perfect for a night out with friends, drink & draw events, dance nights with Dj, great drinks. Only thing is that burgers are actually small sliders, so it's giving finger food & snacks which makes sense cuz it's a bar. But overall highly recommended this place
nice around-the-corner venue. sound system looks impressive but needs some tweaking for a full-sound experience. drinks are ok but food needs some love.
server was super nice but it took 15 min to get a drink order in, & our cocktails were hit or miss. food was good flavour-wise but came to the table cold. ambiance is great, DJ was great, & overall had a great time (even considering the little hiccups) !!
