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.
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.
Super bar! Très belle ambiance. Par exemple, attendez-vous à payer cher pour vos cocktails. Ils sont délicieux mais je ne pourrais pas passer une soirée complète sans me ruiner 😅
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 $17 for a cocktail, in comparison to the quality you get from Snowbird. If you go with a large group, you will likely have to wait a while. The security is strict with bag checks, & if you have any food in your bag, they likely won't let you bring that in. I have heard they have a roof but have never sat there. It's hot inside, & the bathrooms are cramped. The seating may not be the most comfortable. You may have to wait quite a while between drinks, unless you go up to the bar, which I don't know if that's totally acceptable here (I have done it before when it's not busy). You may end up being grateful for the wait, because the drinks are STRONG. Don't let these comments dissuade you! It's my favourite bar for a reason. The ambiance is serene, it's so well decorated & has so much to look at inside. The tiki mug displays they have on the walls are wonderful. But most importantly, their drinks are the best tiki drinks I have had at any tiki bar in any city. & again, they are strong without tasting offensive. You can even buy souvenir mugs, if you're willing to fork over the cash.
C'était un de mes bar préféré, l'ambiance & le service est super, mais malheureusement les prix sont trop élevés. Évidemment qu'il faut payer pour l'ambiance, mais 40$ pour deux verres avec 1/3 de glace ça ne donne pas envie de devenir un habitué. C'est dommage. Réponse au propriétaire : Ma Mercedes n'est pas venue dans une canne de conserve avec énormément de glace à l'intérieur. Je dois m'avoir faite avoir..
