Review Summary

Philémon Bar is widely recognized as a vibrant nightlife destination in the Old Port, praised for its energetic atmosphere, quality DJ sets, and reasonably priced drinks. While many visitors appreciate the hardworking staff and the overall cool aesthetic of the space, some experiences are hindered by long queues, capacity issues at peak times, and concerns regarding the upkeep of the facilities. Opinions on the service and overall evolution of the venue remain mixed, as some guests enjoy the lively social vibe while others find the experience inconsistent compared to previous years.

Franchement décevant. Les prix sont déjà très élevés, mais en plus ils changent d'une commande à l'autre sans aucune logique ni explication. On a clairement l'impression d'être pris pour des touristes.
Ajoute à ça des videurs désagréables, qui parlent mal & ne semblent pas du tout professionnels… ça donne pas envie de revenir. Il y a largement mieux ailleurs pour le même prix.

Been there 2 times. Never heard in my life such poor dj performance. No beatmatch, no cohesion into switching from bad bunny to airplanes. Its a shame for anyone who enjoys music.

Ne recommande absolument pas ce bar. Le bouncer est violent, surtout envers les femmes (en particulier si tu refuses ses avances).

Terrible, terrible place! When inside, the staff are very rude. The (male) bouncers invasively pat down every girl & they split up groups of men & women & only let the women in. The women in my group all left after finding out! They claim to have a guest list, however they just profile & if you are a man less than 40/50 they don't let you in. Would not recommend to anyone!

Never bothered with the food here, only came here to party a few times. Nightlife in Old Port can be a hassle in general without reservations. Philemon is an exception to this, if you manage to get here before 10:30pm you will have a good shot at getting in. The atmosphere is a lot more fun & unrestricted especially later in the night compared to some of the more reserved Old Port establishments. Drinks are reasonably priced for the area. Great service, the staff does their best managing the bustling crowds which get super tight at peak. The DJ's are usually of quality selection too.
