Review Summary

Overall, Philémon Bar is described as a lively night spot in the Old Port with great music, vibes, and drinks at reasonable prices, drawing crowds who come to party and enjoy a central bar setup. The atmosphere becomes more fun and unrestricted as the night progresses, especially compared with more reserved venues nearby, and the staff handle busy crowds well with attentive service and solid DJ selections. Reservations can be important due to crowding, though the place is seen as an exception in the area if you arrive before peak hours. Food is not a focus for most visitors, and there are occasional hiccups such as limited food during events, but many guests leave feeling they had a great time, with welcoming staff, good ambiance, and a desire to return, placing it high on the list of go to spots for a night out.

A fun bar in old Montreal with a good range of reasonably priced beers. We raised the average age of the clientele by a couple of decades, but hey.

The first & last time I visited Philemon was actually a couple months ago & I had a very much below average experience. The cocktail menu doesn’t have many options so I selected something that sounded interesting but when I got it I couldn’t finish it, pretty sure it was Negroni. I came up to the bartender & asked if I could have it changed because I didn’t like it & he said I’d have to pay for a new drink even though my old one was untouched. Normally, if you don’t like your drink they change it for you without charging you twice but I ended up leaving with a $30 bill for 2 overpriced underwhelming drinks, one of which I didn’t even drink. The bartenders looked like they were barely 18, didn’t interact, couldn’t hold a conversation, & honestly looked high out of their minds. The atmosphere is nice, definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but overall it’s cozy besides the scratched up dirty floors.

This is a multipurpose space & I have come for drinks, a market & to dance. The music here can really vary but I have had some nice nights at this spot. The outside area is also really chill.

The last time I went it was sooo hot like uncomfortably so. I’ve heard mixed reviews as of recent but I think it really depends what day you go.
