Display Allbar(71) metal(26) music(20) drink(17) vibe(14) shows(13) bartender(12) beer(11) rock(11) dive(8) musique(8) punk(8)genuinely the worst bar in montreal. avoid. the bouncers are the worst, they police the bathrooms & forcibly removed a transgender woman out of a washroom stall because she didn't look'woman' enough. ive also seen them confiscate belongings during bag checks. not to mention their complicity in hosting problematic right wing bands that other venues won't take. avoid avoid avoid if youre a real punk.
Came here for a Mayday hip hop concert. FYI there is 3 levels at this establishment. The basement level were I mistakenly went first was jammed packed & was rocking pretty awesome was not my final destination. Main level is the bar/pub & upstairs was where I was supposed to be. I did visit the main floor bar & the staff was very nice, wasn't too busy. This review is mainly for the upstairs venue. Poor signage to say the least if you walk up off the street at least. The upstairs was small, sound was good right at the stage but anything further back was way way too loud. The performers had issues with the venues wireless mics so one had to stay mostly stationary with the wired mic. Green room was tiny but added to the charm. Stage was pretty small & there is a large concrete beam almost forehead level on stage with lights that went directly into the performers eyes. I had a great time. Drinks were reasonable. Got to seey favorite band so no real complaints from me. Would love to see them in the downstairs spot in the future.
Cool spot with Absolute Undergrounds all over the bathroom. My band's ad is in this photo. Neat little moment for my partner & I. He's an AU ad salesman.
One of the best venues to see Metal bands passing through town, especially now that the stage is located in the basement. This makes it much cooler in the summer months. Regardless, good sound & intimate setting with clear sightlines. Always good beer available at competitive prices. Be sure to see all your favorite, obscure, Metal bands here.
I sometimes go to this venue to see local music acts, my friends & their bands often play here. Never ate the food here (didn't even know they had food here), but the drinks aren't too expensive. Will definitely come back here for more shows.
The sound guy for concerts is the best I've ever seen in hundreds of bar shows! All three bands sounded incredible & we left without our ears ringing. Great bar service, friendly staff. It is however your typical Mtl alley out back, but we all expect that at these venues, it adds to the flavor!
No question...its a Rock Bar but great bands, great music. Three floors so all different types of rock & metal. Friendly vibes
