I've slowly but surely become a regular here! Best spot for a drink after work, the food is consistently tasty (pesto & prosciutto pizza ftw!) & we always have great service. I've take numerous friends & colleagues, been there for some live music too. Drinks are amazing & the prices are really fair, overall a 5/5 spot!

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Origine Brass is the kind of place that redefines what a local microbrewery & restaurant can be. Stylish but warm, modern without losing its soul. It hums with that quiet confidence of a place that knows exactly who it is & what it's doing.
We started simple: wings & nachos. The wings were solid, crispy, well-seasoned, & paired perfectly with the first round of IPA. Not life-changing, but satisfying. The nachos were better than most, piled high with fresh toppings & cheese that actually stretches. Then came the pizza, & everything changed.
The Champignon Pizza was pure magic. I have eaten pizza across Europe & North America, from Naples to San Francisco, from small trattorias tucked into cobbled Italian alleys to wood-fired gems in Montréal & Portland. This one belongs in the top three of my life. The crust was impossibly thin yet chewy in all the right ways, blistered at the edges & soft at the core, with that subtle flavor that only comes from a dough that has been given time & care. The topping was loaded with wild, aromatic mushrooms, fresh herbs, & a drizzle of olive oil that tasted like the Mediterranean sun itself. Every bite offered a perfect balance of earthiness, salt, & heat. Only in small coastal villages of Italy have I tasted anything quite like it.
The beer list reads like a love letter to craft brewing. Bright, hoppy IPAs that sing, malty ambers that ground you, & a stout that feels like dessert without being heavy-handed. I was hoping for a sour, but none were on tap that day. It hardly mattered. Every pour was clean, balanced, & served at the perfect temperature.
Service was effortless & friendly, the kind that makes you feel like a regular by the end of the night. The staff seem genuinely proud of what they are serving, & they have every reason to be. The atmosphere ties it all together, a mix of industrial chic & soft lighting, with music & conversation blending just right.
I travel often for work, & food is one of the ways I get to know a place. Origine Brass tells a story of Montréal at its best: creative, confident, unpretentious, & rooted in quality. That pizza alone will stay with me for years. If you love good food & honest craftsmanship, this is the place.

Excellent beer! Good food. Nice find!
'Origine Brass' literally popped up on Maps at the last-minute of searching for supper...& really liked it.
Nice choice of beers to suit all palates.
Take the time to browse the menu & try some apps: Jerk Shrimp was tender & flavourful; jalapeno croquettes were a surprise with the fluffy potato filling.
Colleague had the chicken sandwich & it looked (& supposedly tasted) great. Lots of crunchy chicken with right amount of fillings.
Pizza (Pesto + Prosciutto) was a hit!

Okay now for the opportunity for improvement: we were there when they had a DJ minding the music. Way too loud! If not for the cool layout of the restaurant with high ceilings, we would not have been able to hear conversations. Other patrons'complained' but little change in volume.

Go eat & drink!
Good time & value for $$$.

We went on a Saturday night. The food, beer & service was great the music not so much. They had a live band & it was so loud you could not hear your own thoughts. It is ok to create an ambience with live music; it is not ok to have the music so laud that you feel your ears are being raped, I went to a restaurant not to a concert. Please next time lower the volume so your guest can talk to the other guest at the table.

The food, cocktails, beer, & service were impeccable. The live music was also great, not too loud so you can still have a conversation. Love this place!

Great place for a small or large group gathering. They have live music on Saturday nights & the band was good. Excellent food, lots of good beers to choose from & an all around great atmosphere.

Decent resto choices are limited on the West Island but the food here is delicious. Pizza = fantastic!!! Service was okay. I would give this resto 5 stars but what is up with blasting the music? I have been here three times already but the last time was for lunch with work colleagues, loud music even at lunch? I love music but I don't get it...Anyway, I will keep trying only for my love if pizza :)

Very good service, live music was good, lovely ambiance. Pizza was very good, but sauce was just a little too sweet. Drinks very good. Recommend!
