Great place! Emily is the best

Malheureusement, cette place n'a pas bien évolué. On est passé un samedi vers 19h pour un verre: musique populaire des années 90, les toilettes ne sentent pas bons & sont insalubres, le mobilier est brisé... Dommage, c'était vraiment un super bar il y a quelques années.

My coat was lost for 6 days because their coat check staff were assigning the same ticket to multiple people, & seemingly handing out jackets at random. When I went to get my coat with my friends at the end of the night, it was gone. A bouncer kicked out my friends (in mini skirts & it was-30), & told them they weren't to stand under the heat lamps. Coat check staff & bouncers are extremely rude, with horrible customer service skills.

I was here with my friends, & we all left our coats with coatcheck. Instead of stopping collecting coats when they were running out of space, they started double booking the same ticket for more than one customer, stacking jackets on one singular coat hanger. At the end of the night, my jacket was lost my the coat check staff, & my friends & I were belittled by the bouncers, & they kicked my friends out leaving me alone. It took 6 days for the staff to locate my jacket, & I had to go retrieve it myself. Awful, negligent coat check staff.

I had a really great experience at Philemon! The ambiance was really great, nicely decorated, cool setup with the bar in the middle & good music! It was busy but the servers were working hard & took my order swiftly! Emily was particularly sweet & attentive, shoutout to her! I will be back :)

Came here last Friday & was able to get into the bar no problem. Service was terrible, food was disgusting, & very bad quality. I came back a couple days later with girls who unfortunately booked a reservation at this painfully awful place, & did I get receive a different experience? No! when I showed my legal, & of age ID, I was told that I was'too young'. Your goofy employee couldn't even tell me the'age requirement' to get in. This is a horrible business & I highly suggest you stay away unless you want to waste money & get terrible service. Truly the worst bar in Montreal. The owner clearly doesn't care about the business, as they do not care about the MULTIPLE 1 start reviews on their business. Probably because they're buying all of their 5 star reviews to cover the evidence. I've heard crazy allegations about the bar to, I would definitely avoid this place at all costs.

We had a very disappointing experience on New Year's Eve. There was no information or explanation on the website about any mandatory food service or special conditions for that night.

We had only reserved seats at the bar, & when we arrived, we clearly told the staff twice that our reservation was for the bar area. After we were seated, they poured champagne for us without asking or explaining anything beforehand. Then we were told that on that night, if you have a reservation, you must dine there & pay for food.

This policy was never mentioned on the website, nor was it explained to us in advance. As a result, we were forced to leave after only about ten minutes & still had to pay $44 for three glasses of champagne that we did not request.

Overall, the experience showed very poor management & communication. This behavior was unprofessional & disappointing.

Un Moscow Mule des plus réussi !

L'ambiance & choix de musique parfait (un peu plus rock comme j'aime), les drinks au 1001 saveurs & le super service A+++ font de cet endroit le parfait match pour une soirée arrosée entre amis.

Completely IN LOVE WITH MILAN! He was MVP all night! The place was a lil too packed for my liking but he made the stay go from a 30 minute drop in to 3 hours!! Music was a 4 star on 5

At the end a great experience, even with a bit of a bumpy rode 😅 I reserved for my birthday for 10 people 3 weeks in advance & the waitress explained that there's food, drinks, we'll have the lounge & I can bring a cake with me. I confirmed by text 2 days before. On the same day, at 2 pm, the same waitress calls saying there will be no food - like none, literally just olives - available because the chef is sick. Which I understand, but on a Saturday night I'd expect some back up. The waitress told us she's sorry & knows it's a party of 10 & that it will be challenging to find another place, but she contacted several restaurants nearby to accommodate us. We ended up all searching for half an hour & I found a place to dine. The waitress also told us we were welcome to the lounge at 10pm (which normally they only take reservations until 8pm) & offered a bottle of Prosecco to apologize. We arrived at 10:15 & got seated & had our bottle, & ended up having a great time! Thanks for accommodating.
A great place to dance but gets JAMMED PACKED. If I wasn't on the lounge it would be annoying to be in such a crowd.

If you like dive bars this is the place for you. Very nice bartender. Two gin tonics cost $28 as though it was a high end bar. Everything is very old & beaten up.
