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.
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).
Les cocktails sont bons & l'espace est cool mais le bar essaye de faire rentrer le plus de monde possible en déplaçant des gens au fur & à mesure que des groupes arrivent. La sécurité vient voir les tables & demande aux gens de faire de la place aux nouvelles personnes On se retrouve à 4 sur une table de 2 dans un coin & un groupe de 3 à côté de nous sur une autre table pour 2. 7 dans un espace prévu pour 4 personnes conformément ou 5 en étant généreux.
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!
Honestly such a great place! The cocktails are very good, the decoration is perfect, it's the best place to hang out with your friends for a night out.
An absolutely divine Tiki lounge secretly tucked away on St.Hubert street..Decor energy music ambience is really Georgous ...But needs a bit more oomph on the menu ..3 choices not enough ..Maybe a few eggrolls or some spareribs ? ..While the drinks are stunning a little notching variety is in order ..But still a fabulous hangout
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.
I love snowbird. They have such a great atmosphere, fun music & friendly staff. I'm a sucker for punch cocktails & their slightly elevated presentation is exactly on point. When it gets busy the space can feel crowded, & drink service slows down, but I got to hand it to the staff for keeping up as well as they do.
