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.
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!
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.
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.

As someone who makes sure to hit up tiki bars in every major city, this one did not disappoint! Authentic & great decor. & the cocktail menu had the classics & cute kitschy originals. Highly recommend
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.
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.
Travel in the only Tiki Bar located in Rosemont that makes you feel in Les Tropiques 🌸 The decor is so unusual & pretty 🤩 We tried the Origami Cocktail, Moscow Mule & Garden Party 🌊 They have many exotic & pools cocktails 🤤 You can even take pictures under that Varadero sign 😜📸
À la recherche d'un bar qui sait bien doser les cocktails: nous sommes tombé nez à nez sur cet endroit paradisiaque. Aussi bien fait pour les petits after work que les dates, le Tiki saura vous ravir. Niveau ambiance : Top ! & la musique on en parle ou ? Ceux qui adorent Elvis vont être servis ! :) En parlant de service, nous pouvons le qualifier d'ok tiers. Ils viennent souvent nous demander si c'est bon pour nous (la blague du squeezos est un peu redondante désolé ;) ) N'ayez crainte votre service est rapide & la confection des cocktails est toujours nickel ✨. Mention spéciale au zombie vous allez vous régalez! En résumé : ma meilleure cuite avec de très bon cocktails ! (Rapport qualité cuite très satisfaisant).
I've been to tiki bars across North America & this is one of my favorites. The drinks are excellent, better than some I've had at highly praised tiki establishments. The space is arch-vaulted, which combines with the tiki clutter to create an embracing, rainbow-hued wonderland. You enter by ascending a staircase where Martin Denny plays, which transitions to the music in the bar itself which is lively jazz fusion. The decor embraces mid century references from Elvis to Pirates of the Caribbean without seeming to be ironic or sarcastic. You can tell that this is a real labor of love by the owners, fueled by a desire to really do this sort of establishment correctly while also presenting a slightly arch spin on the classic template. I look forward to returning. PS: awesome mug collection guys!

Snowbird is the only tiki bar I've visited, I am not sure if others are similar but Snowbird does an amazing job at setting a cozy, strange, interesting atmosphere, their cocktails are quite good. We always have a good time here.
Snowbird is a cozy Hawaiian theme bar (hence Tiki) with quite warm staff. The cocktails are bomb so be careful, especially if you order Zombie 🤦🏻♂️ Marvellous place to hang out with friends or to bring your date =)
