Review Summary

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.

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.

This is an absolutely beautiful bar & great place for billiards / pool & beer.
The staff were all so incredibly nice. The beer they recommended was delicious, & the pool area was nice & & secluded from the rest of the bar. The one downside to the pool table is that it is near the washrooms.
The atmosphere is what elevates this bar as a spot to recommend. See the pictures for an idea, but the music selection fits the art deco vibe they have going perfectly in my opinion.
Other than the price of the beers which was a bit high, this is definitely a bar worth going to if you can afford it.

This bar quickly became our favorite spot in Montréal! Initially just searching for a place for a drink, we stumbled upon it conveniently close to our hotel. Inside, ample seating & a stylish industrial-retro décor greeted us. Our French server was not only friendly but also efficient, adding to our enjoyable experience. The pricing for beer is excellent, especially during the happy hours until 7pm, making it a fantastic deal. The ambiance is enhanced by tasteful, classic music selections. Despite having six beers, we found ourselves reluctant to leave. We're already planning our return on our next visit to Montréal.

I've ordered cheese burger bacon with an IPA beer! It was a really good combination! The burger was delicious, however I thought it was a little bigger. The music was amazing, playing many classics of Rock'n'roll. Also they have a jukebox that you can choose the song you wanna listen to. Nice PUB to go back someday! 👍👍👍
