Wonderful drinks. Beautiful music, but not so loud you can't talk. Make a reservation as it's a amall intimate venue ( on a week night you may be able to make reservation on your phone for 15 minutes from'now').

WOW. If you're looking for a place that feels like you've discovered one of the city's best kept secrets, LOVEBIRD is it.

From the moment you walk in, you're transported into a cozy speakeasy with an incredible atmosphere, amazing live jazz, & the kind of ambiance that makes you want to stay all night. My apologies to the talented musicians whose names I didn't catch, but you made our evening unforgettable. Every song was perfection.

The signature cocktails were unlike anything we've had before. Each one came with its own story, making every drink feel like part of the experience. Creative, beautiful, & absolutely delicious.

& the food… wow! The truffle grilled cheese was rich & decadent, the lobster rolls were packed with flavor, & the fries were honestly some of the best we've ever had.

A very special thank you to Zoée, who took such great care of us. Every recommendation was spot on & made our evening even more memorable. Thank you as well to the incredibly talented bartenders for crafting such exceptional cocktails & to the warm, welcoming hosts who made us feel at home from the second we arrived.

LOVEBIRD isn't just a place to grab a drink. It's an experience. Whether it's date night, a celebration, or simply an evening out with friends, this is one of those rare places you'll be telling everyone about long after you leave.

We can't wait to return!

Very beautiful interior & atmosphere. The live music was really nice. Staff were very kind. Drinks were pretty good & also happy with the portion sizes. Expensive small bites.

I visited Lovebird while in Montreal as part of a larger group. The reservation process was straightforward, & they had no trouble accommodating us, which was great.

The biggest issue was an unexpected $25 per person entertainment fee that we only learned about after arriving. The hostess mentioned it quickly & briefly to the people who arrived early, & not at all to those who were later to arrive. Because not everyone in our group had arrived yet, & we'd already committed to the venue, changing plans wasn't really realistic.

What made the charge harder to justify was that our table was blocked by a half wall, so we couldn't actually see the quartet performing. We could hear the music, but from where we were sitting it didn't feel like we were receiving a premium live entertainment experience. Had we known about the fee beforehand, we could have decided whether that was something we wanted to pay for.

That said, Lovebird has a beautiful atmosphere. The space is stunning, the speakeasy concept is cute, & the cocktails were some of the best I've had in Montreal. Every drink we ordered was excellent (I had the Premier Regard (sweet, refreshing), & the Way Back(fruity, spicy)).

Overall, I had a great night & can see why people love this place. My only criticism is that any mandatory entertainment charge should be communicated clearly during the booking process rather than after guests arrive. If we had known about the extra charge we would've gone elsewhere. Personally, I didn't find the additional charge worth it & I wouldn't return to lovebird another time given the entertainment charge.

Beautiful speakeasy bar - charming, cozy, with authentic decor. There was live piano music, & after beautiful jazz music. The lights were beautifully dimmed, service was excellent & empathetic (both the door staff & waitress). The drinks were good, but some way too strong. Staff is knowledgeable, so ask questions. Drinks are very expensive but for such a place this is fine. I highly recommend make reservations.

I recently visited Lovebird in Old Montreal & was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is elegant, intimate, & incredibly inviting, making it the perfect spot for a date night or a relaxed evening with friends. The cocktails were creative, beautifully presented, & expertly crafted, while the live music added a sophisticated touch without overwhelming conversation.

What really stood out was the attention to detail, from the stylish décor & cozy ambiance to the attentive & friendly service. Every aspect of the experience felt thoughtful & refined. If you're looking for a unique cocktail bar in Montreal that combines great drinks, live music, & a memorable atmosphere, Lovebird is absolutely worth a visit. I can't wait to return.

Beautiful atmosphere & sophisticated cocktails in a gorgeous place. This bar is beautifully decorated & the staff is very cordial. Don't be fooled by the exterior entrance! My favorite discovery of the year.

I went to Lovebird yesterday (Saturday) & I'm still thinking about it. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful-chic, cozy, & filled with smooth jazz that sets the perfect mood. It's the kind of place where you can really relax & enjoy the moment.
The appetizers were incredible, full of flavor & clearly made with care. The cocktails were just as impressive.
What really stood out, though, was the service. Attentive, friendly, & genuinely welcoming from start to finish.
If you're looking for a stylish spot with amazing vibes, great food, & top-tier drinks, this place is definitely worth a visit.
