At STILLIFE we not only wish to build a bar, but construct the ideology that life in and of itself should be not only lived but enjoyed. Our focus on low waste, multiple use ingredients, locality and the transformation of ingredients from ordinary to inconceivable will change the way people imbibe. We represent movement, and just like the small bubbles that form during the early stages of fermentation we hope to soon cover the entire canvas of which is life.
Stillife is described as a premier club style spot in Montreal with top tier cocktails, vibrant energy, and a lively crowd. The staff are widely praised for friendly, attentive service that helps create a welcoming atmosphere. There are notes about high pricing and the potential for unexpected charges on the bill. Reservations are advised because the venue can get busy. The vibe leans more toward a club than a cocktail bar, with strong house music and a bustling dance floor. Espresso martinis are highlighted as a standout. Overall Stillife is seen as one of Montreal's best night spots, drawing visitors from other cities for good drinks, music, and a dynamic scene in the Old Port.
Great place if you want to spend a nice evening. Be sure to book in advance, even though it is well hidden, long waiting line may await & the bar isn't spacious. Prepare your ID as you couldn't get access without it. Music is if you like chilly techno/house vibes, their DJ knows how to make it feel modern. Great cocktails.
The coolest spot to be at in Montreal. The industrial design & aesthetic is also so warm & sexy. Cocktails, food, bar, sound system & soundtrack are all carefully curated to perfection. It's a must see if you're in the city.
Great place for an upscale cocktail. Every server is detailed & also add great conversation to the night. A great for dancing if you intend to stay late enough
I was initially sketched out when my friend walked me to an alley & opened a tiny black door. Then we walked down the stairs. & then there was another door with an apple on it. Felt sooo surreal like I was in matrix following the rabbit. & boom. The place was stunning. I can't emphasize enough how sleek & modern the place is. I really wish this place was invite only so we can keep it a cute lil secret. It has exposed concrete walls & iron beams. Cinder blocks with candles everywhere. Comfortable group seats & great ambience overall. Oh the music is a banger too. & we ordered some cocktails & man they were delicious. Even the mocktails were amazing. The other stunning part was that the place wasn't even that expensive. I'm from Austin & I'm used to spending $30 USD on a drink & here it was like $20ish CAD which was a pleasant surprise. & mocktails at $10/drink. Highly recommend this place if you're on a 5th date with a girl & wanna take her to a place you both can dress up & have an intimate & yet upscale evening together. Definitely bringing my 20 some friends here next time. But also shhhh keep this place a secret!
Ambiance chic à la Matrix. Les décos d'Halloween étaient luxueuses & en thème avec ce très beau bar caché. La clientèle est clinquante. C'est une boîte de nuit sur les coups de 23h. Il y a une piste de danse. Les cocktails sont très bons & assez surprenants. Nous y sommes allés avant de dîner. Nous étions seuls dans le bar vers 19h. Les serveurs étaient aux petits soins. Quand je vois les commentaires parmi lesquels les serveurs ne font pas l'effort de parler français. Montréal est une ville cosmopolite bilingue. Quand on s'adresse à moi en anglais je parle anglais, quand c'est en français idem. Vous venez passer un bon moment dans un super bar branché, les serveurs font leur travail certains sont plus à l'aise dans une langue que d'autre. De mon côté la serveuse fit l'effort de s'adresser en français à mon mari. Il y a énormément de bars cachés dans cette ville & celui ci se trouve dans le vieux Montréal. La brasserie Japonaise est cachée dans le bar. Chaudement recommandé pour une soirée nocturne
Disappointing service for such a gem of a place. We loved the whole experience of finding the speakeasy, & then getting to see the cozy place (looks really nice). Unfortunately, the drinks were very disappointing. We started off by ordering 2 shots, which they gave us less than half full. The waiter explained that it’s 1 ounce per shot & the shot glass fits 2 ounces - but every bar that we’ve been in montreal serves full shots in the ‘2 ounce glasses’ that they claimed, which they filled at about 1/4 of the glass. I ordered a gin basil, which had no basil or lemon in it whatsoever, & was missing the whole sweetness component - in this case, that drink should be labeled differently on the menu. The waiter tried to explain that it was their own take on it, but it was literally gin & cucumber juice - & that was $21. My girlfriend ordered a drink that supposedly had a vodka base & some aperol, yet the drink had barely any alcohol at all in it. Both drinks that we ordered had ice cubes that were almost the size of the cups. We tried taking the ice cubes out, & the amount of the cocktail that was in the glass was less than half the cup. We normally order multiple drinks at places like this, but we left right after this disappointment. Service must be worked on since it’s a very nice place.
Petit bar club intimiste de haute qualité avec de très bons cocktails (20$ l’unité quand même - je recommande le 4 o’clock in Peru) & du très bon son. Ne venez pas en short ou avec un groupe uniquement masculin pour augmenter vos chances de rentrer. La vibe est plus chic que casual.
