Le Système draws praise for a great vibe, friendly service, strong cocktails and a solid music scene that blends lounge and dance floor in a retro yet intimate setting. Guests describe welcoming staff, a good sound system, and a bar that works well for drinks with small bites, while noting that the kitchen is not the focus and that the atmosphere shines most as the room fills later in the evening. The crowd can feel intimate on weeknights and becomes livelier as the night progresses, making it a versatile spot for a casual drink or a night out, with cocktails sometimes described as pricey but worth it for the quality. Food is generally decent to good and pairs well with drinks, though some reviews tease a wish for earlier last calls or fuller dinner service. Overall Le Système is seen as a go to for drinks, music and sociable vibes rather than a dinner destination, with many appreciating the lively atmosphere and dependable service.
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.
Appeler plusieurs fois pour confirmer que notre réservation du souper (20:30) nous permet de rester jusqu'à leur événement de la soirée (22h) & à 21:40 se faire amener nos factures lorsque notre souper n'est même pas terminé en plus de se faire débarrasser sans avoir terminé un peu ordinaire. Très dommage car la nourriture ainsi que les prix exceptionnels

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
We didn't receive any water & the waiter never checked up on us if we received our food(which we hadn't). We had to ask the bartender(who was very nice!!)

J'y suis allé à tout hasard après une soirée au restaurant & j'ai bien aimé mon expérience. Le service était bien & la musique est particulièrement devenue intéressante vers 1000pm quand un live dj à commencé à mixer. Le choix de bières est très limité, c'est plus un endroit pour boire du vin ou des cocktails.
