Had a blast here! Bar was LIT on a Wednesday night-even with the road torn up like a war zone for construction. Cozy dim atmosphere, beautiful & intriguing people, great music, lots of seating. Vibes were epic.
With such hospitable owners like Ariel & JD, & friendly bartenders like Antoine, can't help but feel the magic at this special little gem. Grateful to discover our new favorite hang out in the old port. 10/10View more
Bar avec le meilleur staff de Montréal, bonne musique & bon cocktailsView more
We went here on a Sunday night when the bar was basically empty. Getting there was tough with all the construction. The espresso martinis were watered down. At one point, the whole bar came together to enjoy a song (Iris), & the small bar started to create a beautiful vibe. Everyone was singing. Then the bartenders stopped the song halfway through, killing the vibe. Maybe we would have stayed if the vibes were good, but this bar does not know how to create or maintain one. We left as soon as this happened.View more
Philemon Bar in Old Port, Montreal, offers a chic & vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a lively night out. The bar's modern, industrial design combined with its cozy ambiance makes it a great spot to unwind or catch up with friends. The music selection is excellent, often featuring live DJs, which enhances the overall experience. The drinks menu is well-curated with a variety of cocktails, beers, & wines. The bartenders are skilled & friendly, always ready to recommend something new if you're undecided. The crowd is generally upbeat, contributing to a fun & energetic vibe throughout the night. However, the bar can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, which might make it challenging to find a spot to sit. The prices are also on the higher side, but the quality of drinks & the ambiance justifies it. Overall, Philemon Bar is a fantastic choice for those looking to enjoy a lively evening in Old Port, offering great drinks, music, & atmosphere. It's definitely worth a visit, though be prepared for a bustling crowd & slightly steeper prices.View more

We had a great time sitting at the bar, listening to great music (90s, 2000s hip hop) & people watching.View more
Love this bar!! The staff is very friendly & they play 2000s music, the vibe is 10/10. The drinks are a bit pricey but that's the case everywhere. Will definitely come backView more
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 :)View more
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!View more
Philemon est phenomenal! I cannot say enough good. Booked a dinner reservation on New Year's Eve; the meal was lovely & certainly worth the 35$. The wait staff was beyond kind, even after the place turned into nightclub form & became packed & chaotic. The bar gave us a free shot to start, which made my night, & had all my friends enamoured with my selection, so a massive thank you to whomever did that. By the midnight countdown, everyone was tipsy, dancing, & happy-I could not think of a better atmosphere to begin my 2024 with. So thank you, Philemon, merci beaucoup, & I hope to return someday if I'm ever in town again.View more
Honestly never had as much fun in a bar, the staff is very friendly & the drinks are chefs kiss. Great place!View more
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.View more
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.View more
