Review Summary

Moose Bawr is widely recognized as a fun and welcoming spot in Montreal, praised for its reasonable prices, friendly staff, and consistent atmosphere. Many patrons enjoy the casual vibe, noting it as an excellent location for watching sports, grabbing affordable drinks, and enjoying pub staples like poutine and hot dogs. While the service is frequently described as amazing and accommodating, some visitors have pointed out issues regarding excessive music volume that hinders conversation, occasional lapses in maintenance, and mixed feelings about menu changes. Overall, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a lively, unpretentious environment with a classic bar experience.

Alors, comment dire... Je suis rentré, j'ai attendu au bar. Un des barman m'a ignoré. Le manager, aussi au contoire, est allé parler au barman, & nous a ignoré. Puis, miracle, deux serveuses sont apparues derrière le contoir pour s'asseoir, nous ignorer, & tirer sur leur vapoteuse.
C'était presque comique. On est parti...

The amaretto sour was really good here. So was the poutine. I heard the bartender was nice from the other table beside us outside but wasn't too sure. Then we sat at the bar & I understood why everyone glazed him so much. He was so sweet & attentive & he attended to us like we were the only ones at the bar. I'd give 6 stars out of 5 if I could. His name was zac if I remember correctly. Amazing night & makes the cocktails!

Very sad. Not the same bar it used to be. This bar was my favourite spot in Montreal pre Covid. The best parts were the Avocado fries & the the drop shot menu. Both of which are now gone. There were such minimal food options. Thankfully they still had the sangrias which was tasty, cheap shots, & free pop corn. We also went around 7:30pm on a Saturday & it was not packed & they were blasting punk music (which we love of good punk moment) but the waitress could barely hear us speaking. Overall very disappointing & won't be going back. If you're just going for cheap drinks, loud punk music, & a simple bar food menu, then it's still a good spot. Just not the same place it used to be.

The Moose Bar is the best hang out to watch a sport game why? In between periods the staff play the best hits increasing the energy everyone is friendly, the staff is helpful & management is cooperative & respectful. Some bars staff serve people of color last or not at all.The Moose bar is different everyone is welcome! Reservation is preferable if you want a seat. I dont drink but the Moose bar it is my favorite bar in town!

Last night, I visited the bar for a nightcap before returning home. Upon my arrival at the bar, I observed the bartender attending to other people to my left & right, yet I was not acknowledged. Subsequently, I relocated to the opposite end of the bar & attempted to order a drink from another individual present. My request was met with an inaudible response. I then witnessed the individual engaging in what appeared to be flirtatious behavior with a colleague, utilizing a meat stick, before preparing a drink for another customer & resuming an idle posture. After a minute of waiting without service, I decided to leave the establishment.

It appears that this establishment consistently exhibits a lack of organization. There is a clear absence of a structured system behind the bar, particularly during later hours, & the management seems to permit unprofessional conduct from the team during the evening shifts. While I was a frequent patron of this bar, it is evident that its standard operating procedures have significantly deteriorated, which is concerning.

I've been coming daily to this place for more than two years early eve or Saturday afternoon. Staff is very accommodating & polite except for music volume. I'm sitting here now with a guest. Two other patrons in the bar. Can't have a civil conversation because of music volume. I asked the staff to lower the music a little bit. Not the first time I was told we are not allowed to lower the music due to owner (who doesn't come ) instructions. They are doing their job but ill advised on customer satisfaction. I normally don't post reviews but there seems to be no other recourse.
The staff should be able to assess the situation & not be handcuffed by owner directives

Tout est passable, spécial attrayant pour bières domestiques, malheureusement pas de diffusion du hockey en français. Je n'apprécie pas l'autoségrégation. Regarder la partie en français est une très bonne façon d'apprendre le français. Une serveuse m'a dit froidement'c'est un bar anglophone' en français même, au lieu de dire'la plupart de la clientèle est anglophone donc nous n'avons pas RDS' . C'est ma dernière fois. Toute cette région est désagréable; elle me rappelle d'Ottawa & Toronto.
