Reviews describe Snowbird Tiki Bar as a tropical escape that transports guests from Montreal into an immersive, visually striking space. The decor earns frequent praise for intricate carvings and striking lighting, creating an intimate yet playful vibe. The venue combines high end vibes with affordable prices, and the cocktail program stays true to tiki roots while adding clever twists. Drinks are a major draw, from dramatic showpieces like a zombie and a flaming volcano bowl to well balanced classics, often with eye catching garnishes. The atmosphere is ideal for dates or nights out with friends, with a relaxing midweek energy and more lively weekends. Food is not the focus for many, though the Cuban sandwich is available. The space, including a summer terrace, feels transportive and unique for tiki lovers, making Snowbird Tiki Bar a standout Montreal destination despite occasional slower service and occasional price increases.
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!
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.
Les consommations sont 15$ chaque ce qui est beaucoup pour mon cerveau de région, mais ils étaient excellents & assez gros. Le décor est vraiment beau. Ça a été mon bar préféré lors de ma semaine de voyage à Montréal.
Such a fun vibe. The decor is fun & the place is super cozy. Unfortunately, the cocktails are awful. Tried a couple of different ones & couldn't finish them.

Wow! I love the decoration. It was very creative! The food & drinks were good. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a unique place to drink & enjoy with your friends!
I loved this place. Perfect vibe for a tiki bar.
Obscured entrance without being a speakeasy type place.
The drinks were done well & served in some of the most appropriate drinkware.
Staff was super friendly.
Again, decor was just on point.
Their menu is online & the number of birds tell you how strong a drink is. They seemed to go from 2-4 birds.
Worth a trip.
Petit bar avec un décor qui sort de l'ordinaire avec sa saveur nostalgique d'imitation hawaïenne des années 80. Plusieurs petits coins pour avoir des discussions intimes & plusieurs suggestions intéressantes de cocktails.

Incredible decorations, they made the seating more comfortable since my last visit. I was surprised we got a table for a big group on a Friday night. All of the drinks I tried were excellent.
This is a bar that you have to visit in Montreal!!! I went there on Saturday for a friend's birthday. We arrived at 5pm & stayed until 11pm. It's really cool to see how the atmosphere changes as the night goes on. During the day, it has one aura & at night the vibe is completely different. There are really cool spaces, at least 4 spaces for larger groups, which provide a certain amount of privacy without losing the atmosphere of the bar. The decor & lighting are a show in themselves, the service is very good, the prices are normal, it's not a cheap bar. But you have an experience there, not every place can offer you that. I highly recommend that you go at least once.
Snowbird is my favourite bar in the city. I recommend it to everyone. It's not my most-frequented, & you'll walk out having spent more than you would at, say, a dive bar, but I haven't had better drinks anywhere else. I used to think their prices were on the higher side... & have since been disappointed by every other place that charges $17 for a cocktail, in comparison to the quality you get from Snowbird. If you go with a large group, you will likely have to wait a while. The security is strict with bag checks, & if you have any food in your bag, they likely won't let you bring that in. I have heard they have a roof but have never sat there. It's hot inside, & the bathrooms are cramped. The seating may not be the most comfortable. You may have to wait quite a while between drinks, unless you go up to the bar, which I don't know if that's totally acceptable here (I have done it before when it's not busy). You may end up being grateful for the wait, because the drinks are STRONG. Don't let these comments dissuade you! It's my favourite bar for a reason. The ambiance is serene, it's so well decorated & has so much to look at inside. The tiki mug displays they have on the walls are wonderful. But most importantly, their drinks are the best tiki drinks I have had at any tiki bar in any city. & again, they are strong without tasting offensive. You can even buy souvenir mugs, if you're willing to fork over the cash.
Definitely a lot of effort put into decor & I love it. Service was polite & efficient. The Scorpion drink was great, definitely worth the price if sharing. The Cuban sandwich was salty to the point if I wasn't starving, I wouldn't be able to eat it. Like the accompanying chips were less salty.
