Snowbird Tiki Bar feels like a tropical escape with immersive decor and a playful, kitschy vibe that makes it a popular pick for dates or nights out with friends; the cocktail program stays true to tiki roots while adding creative twists, delivering strong, beautifully presented drinks that are often served in collectible mugs, and many reviews highlight the lively atmosphere, thoughtful presentation, and the sense of being transported somewhere warm even on a Montreal night; while some visits note slower service on busy evenings or occasional price increases and food not being the main draw, the overall impression is of a fun, memorable experience that's worth returning to.
Vibe is great fun. They faithfully capture the kitsch of tiki bar culture. Service is attentive & friendly. Unfortunately drinks are unpalatable. So unbalanced as to literally be undrinkable. Tried the Jungle Fever & Zombie & one other whose name I can't recall. All were terrible. To their credit they offered to replace with something different but honestly everything seemed pretty much the same. It's as if the drinks were created from a Mad Libs book they were so formulaic. & expensive! Shame since the spot is super cute. Five stars for staff & atmosphere. 1 star for drinks. Brings the average to 3 stars overall.
Nous étions dans la salle privé pour une fête, ambiance plutôt moyenne comparer au côté bar. Le tiki bar nous a imposer de prendre leur traiteur pour la nourriture je déconseille fortement,on nous a chargé un prix exorbitant pour quelques miettes de nourriture. J'ai l'impression de m'être fait voler!
I love Tiki almost as much as I love cocktails so this place was a friggin treat. Came here with a friend & ordered several zombies & the volcano bowl. She tapped out after a few sips of the bowl so I was left to conquer that particular beast on my own. It put up a valiant fight & I was certainly sore in the morning but it was no match for me.
I wasn't super into their Cuban sandwich compared to other ones I have had but I definitely needed it after a night out so I am glad it was on offer.
Places like this make me happy & I wish I could live on an island that felt like this year round. Their dedication to kitsch & craft is commendable.
Will be back!

Literally stumbled upon this place by accident. We were headed to spaghetti western & was pleasantly surprised to end up at snowbird tiki bar instead! It was a cold night out there so the warm ambiance of tbjs tiki bar warmer us right up. Love the decor, playful menu & great cocktails. Will be back for sure :)
Walking into Snowbird Tiki Bar felt like you suddenly aren't in Montréal anymore, but in a tropical paradise.
The first thing that hits you is the decor. It is next-level. I'm talking intricate carvings, gorgeous lighting, & a vibe that is totally immersive. I was shocked at how cool the place looked considering the prices are actually really reasonable. It's definitely high-end vibes without the high-end price tag.
As for the drinks, they clearly know their stuff. It's a solid cocktail program that sticks to traditional tiki roots but adds a fun twist. We had ordered:
• A shark drink where you pour the'blood' in yourself (total 10/10 for the drama).
• A flaming volcano bowl that literally lit up the table.
• Even the simpler drinks had beautiful flamingo foam art on top.
We visited on a Wednesday night, which I highly recommend. It wasn't crowded at all, just a great, chill energy. Also, a massive shoutout to Mathis the Barman. He's hilarious & gave us amazing service all night.
If you want a fun night out, this is the spot. So I'll definitely be back at Snowbird Tiki Bar asap!
J'y vais régulièrement. Les cocktails sont bons. J'ai retiré une étoile parce que les prix ont vraiment augmenté & que parfois le service n'est super. Ça m'est arrivé plusieurs fois que le barman était trop occupé à discuter avec ses amis
Snowbird Tiki Bar offers a fun & memorable experience, especially if you enjoy creative cocktails. The drinks were very tasteful, well balanced, & thoughtfully presented, making each one feel special. The atmosphere is intimate & visually interesting, with a tropical vibe that works really well for a date night. Lighting, music, & décor create a relaxed yet playful setting that encourages conversation. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy the drinks, & feel transported somewhere warm, even on a cold Montreal night.

Snowbird Tiki is a fantastic spot with incredible decor. Heading up the stairs feels like stepping into a hidden oasis. The cocktail program is solid, with a clear dedication to traditional tiki drinks done well. The decor really steals the show, intricate carvings, beautiful light fixtures, & an immersive atmosphere, especially impressive given the great value. A fun, transportive experience & well worth a visit.
