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.
Stopped by here two nights, first on a Thursday then Saturday. Thursday was laidback with a decent amount of people & Saturday was busy but still chill. I think it's because people here are sitting either at the bar or tables conversing. It's not a bar where people stand & talk & walk around. I found that interesting as it makes for a different vibe. There's a variety of beers on draft & I tried one (Hop Valley) that was good. I drank a cocktail which was just the right amount of alcohol, not weak or strong. Its a pleasant & friendly place to relax with friends.
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).
My favorite bar in my favorite city! Large space with lots of seating & there's a pool table in the back. Fast service at the bar. They have one hot looking crew of bartenders & they all make great drinks. Merci beacoup! A bientôt!

The staff seem to compete with each other so when we moved to a bigger table once the rest of our group came we technically moved to a different servers section which caused the two servers some conflict which shouldn't be the case...
Merci à Éloïse, super service incroyable, aucune attente & l'envie de venir dépenser son argent ici. Agréable d'être servit de la sorte dans un cadre très cool. Merci beaucoup.
5/5 atmosphere & food, try the Cajun wings & pulled pork flatbread! Tonight was Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Little note about the service: I've never seen a bartender have to come out from the bar to serve customers while the waitress sits at the barstools with customers to watch the game. We waited 25 minutes for our waitress to take our food order but that never happened so I got up & waited at the bar. I think it was the busboy who kindly took & entered our order; he & another waiter served us after but it was the same waitress who came to collect the bill & her tip. I'll regret leaving that tip if it isn't shared by all the staff. I'd come back again & don't mind ordering from the bar for the Cajun wings. Would love to see bigger screens for the sports too.
