Stillife Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
BarCocktail BarGreat selection of cocktails
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.

Review Summary

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.

unpleasant door girl, lied straight to me, saying it takes at least two bottles to have a standing table.
service at the table was mediocre, no water, no clean up.
the kind of club where you must tip the toilet responsable every time.
music was good, but that's it.
ratio men/women was horrible, too much men.
security lacks too
i didn't chose this to place to go out, & i will never be back.

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.

Always been an amazing vibe. Easily the top bar/club of Montreal. Has a mature crowd. The center dj station is very cool. Great house music.

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!
