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.

Very cool atmosphere but it is a bit too dark & can be unsafe for walking. Drinks are good & decoration is unique.

Belle ambiance, cocktails originaux mais le rapport qualité prix laisse à désirer. Service au bar un un peu lent.

Petit speakeasy bien caché. Il n'y a pas de nourriture au menu & le verre de vin le moins cher coûte 18$. Allez-y pour débuter votre soirée si vous êtes dans le coin, mais ne vous y attardez pas trop longtemps.

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

I am really not the type to write reviews but this place truly deserves it!!!
First, let me tell you about how beautiful & classy this place is... I was in Montreal for a couple days & this is by far the nicest bar we've been too. It's like a modern speakeasy kind of vibe & loved the candles all around to bring just the perfect amount of lights!!
For the service... a guy with a man bun was serving us at the bar all night & I can just give all props to him. He got super busy at some point during the night but still was able to throw some jokes at us here & there!! He truly made our night & experience more fun & exciting!!
One thing I would say though... be ready to spend money because it is a bit on the pricey side!

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.
