Review Summary

L'Escogriffe Bar is widely regarded as a staple of the local underground scene, celebrated for its authentic rock atmosphere, live music performances, and friendly staff. Visitors frequently highlight the spacious venue, the welcoming terrace, and reasonable drink prices, making it a popular destination for an indie crowd looking to enjoy a night out. While the sound quality and overall vibe generally earn high praise, some patrons note that the venue can become warm and crowded, and occasional issues with background noise during acoustic sets have been reported. Despite these minor inconsistencies, the bar remains a go-to spot for those seeking a vibrant dance floor, diverse musical acts, and an unpretentious, gritty charm.

Tres bon bar avec des boissons pas trop chères, la terrasse est conviviale & le service accueillant ! Le quartier est très animé donc du passage mais pour un petit apéro entre amis après le travail c'est parfait ! Notons également que l'été la rue est piétonne donc vous pouvez vous promener & pourquoi aller au parc Jeanne Mance après ?😉

A gem of a place for your outings on the weekends! The music is golden (70's-80's & 90's) & makes you wanna boogie woogie!

Great Lake Swimmers concert on Friday, April 17:

Great show (5 stars)! Sound was excellent given the low ceilings & stone walls.

Venue (2 stars): The opening duo & GLS were folky, with many quieter, acoustic songs.The BARTENDER spent much of these songs SPEAKING & LAUGHING with his buddy so LOUDLY that he drowned out the music. Zero respect (or self awareness?). We could see the artists looking at him with disbelief & annoyance during their performances. A real vibe-killer. Self-serve water station at the bar was really appreciated though. Venue was hot & poorly ventilated.
