Only stopped in for a drink, but the staff was so nice & the music was not super obnoxious. Could be a little cleaner, but I think it's a bit of a dive bar anyway :)

We had a corporate retreat in Montreal & ended up at Philemon for one of our nightly parties. It was awesome! Welcoming intimate space, great music & dj, friendly bartenders. Go often & have a great time! ✨

A special place that knows how to turn it up!!! Our work team was looking for a special place to celebrate our company, & we walked into Philemon bar & the turn up their venue in the most incredible way with an exciting vibrant night of music, amazing beverages, friendly staff, & everything you could ask for for a lively night in old Montreal! The Recharge team is extremely grateful for the vibe; the professional level of service that we got to share at Philemon! Big props to the staff!

This will be a long-ish review but the summary is 100/10, would recommend to ANYONE. Got out of a long relationship & I can honestly say the thursdays at Philemon not only made my summer, but gave me the confidence to go back out there. Much can be said about the establishment, its beautiful design, convenient location, etc but the main aspect of Philemon is ITS PEOPLE. The staff is seriously the absolute best I have ever seen. I lost a camera for months & they kept it nice & safe in their office for half a year, they are trust worthy. The drinks are always amazing, the music is top notch, & again the vibe is simply impeccable. I also tried their cheese platter & it was divine, & the wine advice I received from the manager that day (Julia) was simply sublime. I cannot strees enough how great this place is, you just have to see by yourself. If you want a BUSY night with LOTS of people from any background, age, gender ? Then go on thursdays fridays & saturdays after 10PM. You want a quiet relaxed date where you can enjoy some amazing drinks & have some privacy ? Then go on weekdays or any day before 10pm. Either ways, Philémon is THE SPOT in Montreal & you have to visit at least once to understand why its such a well-known & trusted establishment.

I found this jewel of a bar a year ago on a late night walk in my neighborhood. I instantly felt welcome when I entered. Very friendly barmaid / bar staff. I love the crowd - A mix of Old Mtl residents & a couple tourists on weekdays. Weekends are lit with a younger crowd. Food is served until 9pm. I reccomend the charcuterie board... good quality of meats & cheese. Great whisky, great tequila, great music,great times! Love this place.

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.
