Review Summary

Stillife is widely regarded as a premier destination in the city, frequently praised for its energetic atmosphere, exceptional music, and high quality cocktails. Many guests highlight the welcoming staff and the overall vibrant nightlife experience, making it a popular spot for those looking to enjoy a lively crowd. While the venue is highly recommended for its aesthetic and service, visitors should be prepared for potential crowds, the necessity of reservations, and a premium price point that includes mandatory gratuities. Although opinions on the environment vary, the consensus points to a unique and fun experience in the heart of the Old Port.

I love stillife! But.. the only downside is that I can't go there to have a single drink -- everytime I end up finishing the night & realizing I've closed the bar! wouldn't recommend, bad for my health, GREAT for morale 😶‍🌫️

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

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.
