Overall, Taverne Midway is described as a warm, welcoming venue with a retro, art-deco vibe, brick-wall ambiance, and a varied playlist that suits both relaxed evenings and lively nights. The staff are consistently praised for friendliness, attentiveness, and making guests feel at home, creating a personal, genuine vibe that many reviews say makes you want to return. Drinks and food receive strong praise, with a wide cocktail selection, solid beer options, and standout nachos, though a few notes mention a mojito that was too diluted and prices that can be on the higher side. The atmosphere stays upbeat and social, with fast service, a bustling crowd, and amenities like a billiards area contributing to a sense of belonging. Taken together, the reviews position Midway as a go-to spot in Montreal for drinks, music, and a welcoming crowd.
Very good prices. We took the nachos it was very good. The drinks were decent with a good happy hour (16h-19h). The Tom collins & Paloma were very good.
I came here for the first time last month & had the best time ever with my friend! My friend suggested that it was a great place for drinks & music; he was absolutely right! There are many think options & they are brought to us very quickly. They had a DJ who was playing really good music from modern hits to classic throwbacks. My friend & I were singing & dancing in our seats the entire time. The staff members were extremely friendly & were having fun as they were working; it was refreshing to see that. We had a blast & we'll definitely be back.
While exploring Montreal over the weekend, we stumbled upon Midway, not once, but twice during a bit of spontaneous bar hopping. It wasn't on our radar; we just happened to wander in while strolling down Saint Laurent Blvd. From the moment we walked in, there was a vibe. The bartenders felt like old friends- laughing, joking, & welcoming everyone with ease. As luck would have it, we arrived during the bar's birthday weekend, so the place was buzzing with celebration.
What made it truly memorable wasn't just the drinks or the music, but the people behind the bar. They were genuine, chatty, & even gave us a list of other local gems to check out. Their energy was contagious - we had a great time because they were clearly having a great time.
Montreal is a city full of character, & if you're lucky, you'll find yourself in a place like Midway where you don't just grab a drink, you feel like you belong.
Fantastic place for 2am food & drinks.
Staff is amazing, food is delicious & extremely fast. Drinks are strong in the best of ways. Couldn't believe the low prices for this upscale bar!!
If you need late night service, this is the spot!

First time in Montreal, we came down just for the weekend & spent both nights here for drinks. Absolutely love this place! Shoutout to bartender Paul & Ben & all the other hard workers there. Customer service skills 10/10!!
I must say very disappointed as an American . They try to take Advantage of you . Steal from you. Was suppose to receive over 20 dollars & change & the waiter ask if he can give us 8 dollars back lol . Did not allow us to make tip decision after they included tip spent 92 dollars on wings & three drinks. Be aware

Uses QR code menu without table accessable plug ins. (This is my primary reason for a 4 star review) Food was good but my modification was not applied (did not ask for remake, that is on me) & drinks came slow for how busy the bar was (Monday evening).
