A project from the team behind the wood-fired Pizzeria Magpie, Magpie Magique deviates from that concept entirely with a speakeasy-style red light entrance that leads into a chic spot. A pseudo-hidden bar, it specializes in classic cocktails complemented by a menu of sharing plates of mezze, skewered and grilled seafood, and pizzas from the front. Offering an anonymous, sophisticated, and unique experience that’ll include live music and other performances. It goes without saying that you can grab a bite late at night here, along with a good stiff drink.
Magpie Magique is described as a memorable speakeasy style venue with a warm, intimate yet spacious vibe where the tasting menu showcases fresh, well balanced flavors. The service is frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, and the kitchen team is recognized for experience, though a few guests report delays and disorganization at times. Guests highlight the atmosphere with live jazz or blues on certain nights and a relaxed ambiance that makes it ideal for a date or a night out with friends. Positive notes include inventive cocktails and mocktails, standout dishes like salmon tartare, beef cheeks, burrata, and the signature Date Night cocktail. A few experiences mention issues such as rude interactions over a band charge, reservation problems, seating too close to the stage, and long waits for drinks or meals. Overall reviews describe Magpie Magique as a hidden gem that continues to impress and invites returns, with anticipation for future menu offerings.
Absolutely great place with great staff. Friendly, atmospheric, good music, good drinks, what can you ask for more? We had a blast & I only wish we had more time to come back! The red decoration gives a classy vibe & there is ample space to feel comfortable. ❤️
Excellent place! Speak-easy type of bar. Very well made, very good ambiance. You feel like transported to some town in asia, beautifull. Drinks are AMAZING. Everything so well balanced, sweet & sour at the same time. Loved it. I will come back when I'll be in Montreal for sure! 😄
Amazing find! Total must see! Great Cody space, awesome atmosphere & staff. Really felt like home. Lovely beer! Recommend the double blond Belgian! MUST SEE!
Visited from Hamilton & would absolutely suggest this for anyone visiting Montreal. Our server was absolutely lovely & he provided amazing customer service & suggestions.
This place is thoughtfully designed & the atmosphere is cozy. The drinks were unique, we tried the dip cheese & sandwich, both were delicious (good-to-share). Overall, I would definitely recommend this place & come back again.
Highly recommend! Delicious cocktails with cool decor. Service was excellent & great spot for a date night or night out with friends. Find the door with the red light on top 🚨

This speakeasy has a great retro atmosphere, fabulous drinks & amazing service - shoutout to Dimitri, who took excellent care of our large party. I'll definitely be back!
Really lovely evening with A+ service from Dimitri despite us being large group. Great food, amazing mocktails & a cozy, fun vibe. Can't wait to come back!
Para la reservación excelente, lamentablemente tardan mucho para traer tanto bebidas, como alimentos y el servicio es demasiado lento. De alimentos nos faltó. Es bueno solo para vivir la experiencia, pero no para volver, tristemente.
Went with a friend to this lovely speakeasy, it's very close to Laurier station which while not part of the experience is very convenient in itself. The ambiance of the bar was cozy & warm, the staff were very polite & attentive & the drinks tasted wonderful & disappeared a bit too fast. William our host told us about the drink he designed, (the Gamora), & he made sure our experience was good. It was excellent all around!
Français en vacances a Montréal, nous avons décidé de passer notre dernière soirée dans ce bar très sympathique. L'ambiance, le service, les cokctails & la nourriture : un vrai sans faute. Mention spéciale à notre serveuse Tamara, d'une incroyable gentillesse & qui a été efficace pour son 1er jour 😉
