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 really love this place. So well located & always a good time. Cocktails are delicious & Max gives the best service ever! He is kind, funny & engaging... un serveur hors-pair 🙌
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.
La musique, surtout country & autres, était vraiment à chier. Un bar à touristes. & les pintes de 14 oz pour le prix de vraies pintes c'est inacceptable. Le serveur était bien par contre
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!

Great happy hour. Mojito was nice, beer was macro. The olive order was huge! & I love that it came with sun dried tomatoes for me since I hate olives 😂

J'ai passé une excellente soirée hier au Midway. L'ambiance était chaleureuse, les cocktails étaient bons, &, surtout, une mention particulière pour le service attentionné de Julien. Merci pour la double ration de haricots!
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!!
