Overall, reviews of Taverne Atlantic praise a stunning space with a warm, lively vibe, a showy open kitchen and a rooftop terrace that shines in good weather. The atmosphere, decor and buzzing energy are repeatedly highlighted, and the cocktails are described as creative while the pizzas and snacks are often noted as highly enjoyable, with some calling the pizzas and house specialties standout. The wine list is broad, though some feel prices are high for the value. Food can be hit or miss for some items, with a few dishes seeming salty or not living up to expectations, while others are described as excellent. Service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness by many, but others report long waits, especially for larger groups or on busy nights, and some experiences feel rushed or cold. Music and noise levels can be loud, making conversation difficult, though this adds to the lively vibe. A number of reviews describe it as a hidden gem worth visiting for drinks, ambiance and a memorable night out, with many saying they would return when in town. In short, Taverne Atlantic delivers impressive decor, a vibrant atmosphere and strong drinks, with room to improve consistency of service and acoustics during peak hours.
Un incontournable du quartier! Si bien caché qu'une fois rentré, vous serez charmé par l'ambiance chaleureuse qui le caractérise. Les employés sont professionnels tout en étant friendly, la cuisine est ouverte sur l'entrée, la nourriture… AMAZING, & les cocktails sont divins. Sans oublier la carte des vins qui est d'une sélection ma fois impressionnante. Je le recommande autant pour une soirée entre amies que pour une date intime.
La Taverne Atlantic a-t-elle trouvé la recette parfaite pour un bar-resto sans anicroche? Je pense bien que oui!
Très belle experience au Bar avec Jade, Jake, Laurianne & Yasmine. Une belle gang avec qui vous allez passer un merveilleuse soirée. N'hésitez pas, ils aiment les shots

I really liked the atmosphere & the way this place has been put together - it has a unique charm that makes you excited to be there. However, the wait time was honestly crazy. They don't take reservations after 7 p.m., so it's very unpredictable when you'll actually get seated, especially if your group has more than four people. Be prepared to wait.
In our case, we were celebrating my friend's birthday & ended up waiting about an hour, mostly standing behind the bar, which was far from comfortable. A special occasion should feel a little more organized & welcoming.
I also think the staff could be a bit friendlier. While no one was outright rude, the service lacked warmth. What disappointed me the most was the birthday moment itself - when I asked for a cake, they brought it with no birthday music, even though we noticed birthday music being played for other tables while we were there. It made the experience feel less special. Also, don't expect a complimentary birthday dessert; unlike many bars, they don't offer a small cake on the house. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's something to keep in mind so you can plan ahead.
Another downside was the music volume. While the playlist was great & added to the lively vibe, it was a bit too loud at times, making it difficult to have a normal conversation without raising our voices.
That said, I highly recommend trying the cocktails. They offer some creative & refreshing flavor combinations that you don't find everywhere, & it was definitely the highlight of our visit. Don't miss the pizza breads - they are absolutely delicious & the perfect complement to the drinks. & despite everything, the taste of the cake was truly special & memorable.
The bartender did the best they could be they still seemed preoccupied with external issues that were affecting the experience. The other staff were also not concerned or helpful during this situation. We noticed that the servers & hostess spent a lot of time next to the entrance/ iPads when they could have been helping at the bar.
Belle découverte. Carte des vins impressionnante. La pizza était excellente. Cacophonie hallucinante quand l'endroit est plein par contre. Comme c'est le cas dans 99,9% des bars, l'acoustique est abominable. C'est pénible de se parler. 😒😉

A beautiful bar & restaurant with excellent food & drinks. I loved my slushie & Montreal hot dog. The interior is beautiful & cool & the servers quite friendly. If I wasn't leaving town I would go back. There is a terrace but I didn't have a chance to see it.
A hidden gem in Mile end. In a gentrifying location. Kind of a NY style , stylish bar/resto. Well designed bar area but the real treat is the Roof top lounge. Fills up quickly on a sunny day & there are no reservations. Fun menu. Pizza , upscale hot dogs & many other non-traditional treats. Worth a treat & a pint of beer.
The items on the menu are way overpriced. They are without a doubt taking advantage of their clients because their location allows them too. In fact its the only bar within a range of 1.5km. Its been opened long enough now, ITS TIME TO LOWER THE PRICES to a respectful level if they want to raise their sales & keep regular clients, because EVERY LOCAL in Outremont-Mile End prefer to drink at home than get ripped off one more time by the owner!
Super charming place, love the decoration & the size of the bar which also feels classy. Cocktails are really good but there are others which shouldnt be there. Food is nice & service was perfect.
This is one of those "technically (& in this case, actually very much) a bar, but the kitchen is so good it may as well be a restaurant" places. Great wine & beer selections, cool space, friendly service, & the food is a whole thing. We had the pizza with homemade'nduja, the kale salad & the salmon rillettes, & they were all bonkers. Looking forward to coming back.
This place is an awesome for dinner & drinks, if you're willing to sit it out & wait. No reservations means potential lengthy waiting times. They've figured it out though, with their side bar in the entrance where you can have a drink & appetizers while waiting for a seat. If you're lucky & weather is nice, try & get a seat outside on the rooftop patio, for a more loud & fun atmosphere saty indoors & enjoy all the amazing pizzas on the menu. Great menu & food for sharing with large group of friends, staff will also easily split the bill & do the difficult math.

Un excellent endroit pour prendre un verre & déguster quelques apéritifs. Si la terrasse est ouverte, installez-vous là-haut, c'est un espace extérieur agréable & un peu caché. La décoration intérieure est magnifique, avec un bar complet & de bonnes options de bière. Il y en a vraiment pour tous les goûts. Le service peut être un peu lent, mais ce n'est pas rédhibitoire.
Très beau restaurant, la nourriture est bonne, surtout la pizza. Les cocktails aussi délicieux. Nous avions une place au bar & avons demandé d'être placées sur la terrasse lorsque disponible. Mon review général reflete ces deux expériences assez différentes : Au bar : Les employés très gentils, notre serveuse faisait des suivis fréquemment, on nous apportaient de la nourriture. Lorsqu'est venu le temps de le déplacer à la terrasse... (lire la suite) À la terrasse : très belle terrasse couverture, belle atmosphère, il est bien d'être à l'extérieur, cependant nous avons dû apportez nos verres & assiettes vers la terrasse & tout le monde a contribué, ce qui était correct, toutefois nous n'avions pas eu d'eau pendant une longue durée de temps sur la terrasse... éventuellement, on nous a apporté des verres d'eau sur la terrasse & un refill de caraffe d'eau. Le refill de caraffe d'eau goûtait différent & l'eau était tiède un peu & ne goûtait pas bon. Ensuite, nous voulions commander d'autres cocktails, mais ça a pris beaucoup de temps pour 1) demander le menu de boissons à nouveau & 2) attirer l'attention de la serveuse pour commander. Il se peut que la terrasse cette journée-là était sous-desservie, peut-être qu'il manquait quelqu'un au shift & donc le staff ne pouvait pas porter attention à tout le monde, mais c'était ça l'expérience, ce qui explique le 3/5 du côté service à mon review. Le service à l'intérieur du restaurant cependant était parfait, 5/5.
Great place for a drink & some appetizers. If the terrace is open you should definitely sit up there, nice & sort of hidden open space. The decor inside is beautiful, full bar & good beer options. Definitely something for everyone. Service may be a little slow but not a deal breaker.
This cocktail bar is a gem. It has amazing drinks, delicious food & an unbeatable rooftop terrasse vibe. Perfect with friends or a romantic evening. Must try it!
Waiters & waitress are very friendly & atmosphere is super nice. I had beers & some snacks. Pizza was good. Didn't feel squeezed even bar was full because of high ceilings. Definitely will go back!
