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.
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.
The fun factor is off the charts, no matter where you look there's something eclectic on the wall. The drinks are as expected in a tiki bar fun & they don't skimp on the alcohol. The music for me was one of the best parts though it could be I knew most of the songs being of a certain age. Also had a Cubana sandwich which was good but the food is not their specialty. So for a fun night out with friends or a first date this place is a blast!
My boyfriend & I always come to this bar, & it's a blast. The atmosphere is great & unlike anything in Montreal. Whether you go on a week day or the weekend the vibe & service are excellent. They have tasty & beautiful drinks & even souvenir cups/glasses. While the starting prices of the drinks are not the most modest, they are very generous with the serving size & the amount of alcohol. Its overall a pretty fair price for a nicely made cocktail & the wonderful experience.
Overall, i HIGHLY recommend the tiki bar & it is my go to cocktail bar!

Snowbird Tiki Bar in Montréal is a tropical escape with immersive décor, creative tiki cocktails, & a fun, kitschy vibe. Drinks are strong, beautifully presented, & often served in collectible mugs. The atmosphere is perfect for a date or night out with friends. Service can be slow on busy nights, but the unique experience makes it worth the visit.

The atmosphere is incredible, but the service was kind of slow for a non full bar, two of the food offered on menu was not available & there are 5. Drinks were great thought.
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!
On nous avait parlé des drinks à partager. On a prit la piscine. Un peu déçu pour la quantité. Il est suggéré pour 2 à 4 personnes. À vous d'en juger. La déco est splendide, mais l'ambiance était à plat le soir qu'on y était.
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.
When we were there the bartender was sick or had allergies & kept blowing his nose & then continued to work & touch everything. Great place, great drinks amazing atmosphere but please improve hygiene.
All hands on deck made sure that my boyfriend & I were good. Every workers were social, attentive, smiley & welcoming. It shows that everyone works as a team to make sure that clients leave with an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was unique, it felt like I wasn't in Montréal. The colours were remarkably interesting & fun. The drinks were well served. The barman surely knows what he is doing. Also, the designs for the drinks were definitely fresh (orchids & mint leaves). I would definitely come back again & invite other friends to visit this gem!
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.
