Overall, Moose Bawr is described as a casual friendly bar with affordable lunch specials and solid value for simple pub fare like poutine and hot dogs, along with tasty wings and decent fries. The atmosphere is praised as lively and welcoming, with a good drink selection and regular sports nights, DJ vibes, and a crowd that includes students and casual diners. Service is noted as friendly by most staff, though a few reviews mention slow or inconsistent service and occasional lapses such as menus that are hard to read or staff not available. Despite these tensions, many guests return for the vibe, prices and solid food, making it a go to spot for a relaxed lunch, drinks with friends, or a game day.
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.
This bar is so cool! The staff is friendly & cooperative also they raise the energy by playing the best music during the play off breaks. The best bar in town!

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.
Ive enjoyed loose bawr a number if times & its been solid, until yesterday. My partner & I went for a late lunch, & found that both bar tender, & line cook were asleep (I can only assume they were staff because there was no other staff were around). One asleep at the bar, one asleep at a table.
I didnt bother waking them. Went elsewhere.

0/10 Waitress/Bartender did not give back our tip assuming the cash we handed her was her tip. What if we wanted to give her more? What if we wanted to give her less? This bartender/waitress should not be have done this in the first place & assume. Bad review is being left because this bartender/waitress did not take us seriosuly. What ever the reason she may have, it was not valid & this waitress/bartender should go back on training. 12:47am March 9th 2026.
I have never been to a bar in Montreal that has given such terrible service. We kept being ignored for drinks & the servers forgot our food after we had talked to both of them & they had even confirmed the order twice. After asking multiple times the waitress admitted she forgot but then by the time we got our food they did not even bring it all & we had to wait almost an hour for them to come back. The fries I got were stale & all small like it was leftovers & while we were waiting we could see both servers chatting & visiting behind the bar. We barely were checked up on all evening & had to flag them down to get a drink. I'm frustrated we even had to pay full price for cold food & waiting nearly an hour to be served & even having our order admittedly forgotten. The overall experience made felt dismissive & made us feel unwelcome by the staff. I don't recommend anyone go here especially with the location there are better options with much better service & food that's actually fresh & hot
Went with a couple friends. Waitress came twice in 5 minutes to get drink orders which is ok but then once an hour to take food order & to get water, but came right away when we asked to pay. Got sweet hammy tasted good but overpriced for what you get, it was just a hot dog with toppings & too much bread for about 10$ & small jar drink for 10.25. Not going back. The menus were so scratched up could barely read. Also got carded by bouncer after he saw us drink our cocktails & when we told him we showed the waitress, he said'she's not the boss'. It's not worth going.
An old school bar with old rock & roll playing & large glasses of icy cold draft beer being sold at a reasonable price. I didn't have any of the food. Maybe next time.
I really like this bar, the music is good & at a volume that lets you chat, the prices are excellent, the food tastes very good, & the best part is that the beer is so cold.
