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.

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.
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.
Such a lovely place! What a shame that there is no good music or any type of vibe.. This place has a good potential that is clearly not exploited to its best...
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.
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.
A really cool place, it's like a hidden cave & the vibes are awesome. Really thoughtful interior design, however - I came here last weekend with a few friends for my birthday, but was left a bit disappointed when it took 30 minutes for a server to finally come by to take our orders. Everyone at other tables was constantly putting their hands up wanting to be served, & after we finally got served was another 20 minutes wait for drinks, so that's almost an hour sat there waiting without a drink. When they finally came, the drinks were great. But we'd already decided the service was so poor that it was a -one drink only- situation, even though we really wanted to stay & enjoy more drinks, it just wasn't a reliable service. Would love to recommend this place but only if you're extremely patient.
Where to begin... I arrived 10 minutes prior to the rest of my party, made eye contact with bar staff but was another few minutes before they interacted. Finally came over & asked how many were in my party, few minute wait no problem. However, as I'm waiting, a group of three comes in & then a group of two, crowding & blocking the waiting area. My party arrives & then our table is ready & we have to move through a tiny space to get to the bar. There's three of us & they seat us at a small table with a stool & two small benches. Mind you there are two empty 5 top tables behind us that have more room & space which would've helped alleviate the cramped vibes. Waiter comes over & we're not ready so he comes back a few minutes later. We each get a drink, no issue. After we finish the first round, we look around for our Waiter & the man disappeared for a good 10-15 minutes. He never checked on our area or any other guests. So, we do what you do in a bar & headed up to the front to order a drink. The man working told us to sit back down & not order here because we have a waiter...ok. Our server comes back & deals with the other tables. After clearing them he brings us the drinks we asked the other bartender for which was nice. However, the Waiter had an attitude because we asked another server to help us. That soured the mood. Also, he never introduced himself so I don't even know this man's name lol. Another thing of note: the women's restroom. Two stalls & the large door swings inward bisecting the restroom, but if someone is standing there they're probably going to get squished, pushed or so on. Also, at the moment Google says the staff wear masks, they do not. You'll be lucky to find any food service establishment in Montreal where the workers still wear them. Expensive, service made it lackluster. Maybe once if you're daring but I can't imagine people being return customers here.
Very special décors there giving the vibe like Caribbean pirates ship
Saturn: sour&sweet
Jungle Fever: sweet in the mouth & felt the spicy alcohol in the throat
Cobra’s Fang: sweet taste & no one eats the pineapple slice? Or just me lol
