I would recommend checking out other places & just skip this one entirely. The waitress was kind but the person who I believe is the owner did not make my friends & l welcomed here. Left disappointed, upset, & anxious about the entire experience.

Pub food. Good entertainment. For 45.00 cover (each) & they don't come around asking if you want a second round of drinks, & we ended watching the players on a TV due to poor seating. Three stars max.

Probablement l'endroit à Montréal que je fréquente le plus assidûment! Il y a toujours de bons spectacles au Upstairs, dans une ambiance intime que j'adore. & même lorsqu'on ne connaît pas le groupe ou qu'on hésite sur le spectacle, ça vaut la peine de prendre une chance: on repart souvent avec la magnifique surprise d'avoir passé une excellente soirée. Un incontournable pour moi!

We joined your open jazz night on Weds 8/19. The food was delicious & our waitress were very attentive.
We thoroughly enjoyed the music & stayed longer than expected to hear all the various talent that was brought up to the stage. Thank you for making our visit memorable.

?Une superbe découverte pour les amateurs de musique live !

Le Upstairs propose une formule souper-spectacle parfaitement rodée. L'ambiance y est intime & décontractée, avec une programmation jazz de grande qualité.

On y vient d'abord pour l'expérience musicale & pour soutenir les artistes, mais la cuisine est également au rendez-vous avec de très bons plats.

?À chacune de nos visites, l'expérience a été impeccable, tant pour la performance sur scène que pour le service & le repas.

?L'espace est restreint & les tables sont assez rapprochées, mais cela fait partie du charme : cette proximité directe avec la scène rend le spectacle encore plus immersif. Pensez à réserver !
