Absolutely amazing experience!! From the lovely ambience, to the incredible music & delicious food, the three of us left 💯 impressed with our experience! The food was reasonably priced & very high quality, the drinks pretty expensive & the music awesome 👏 🎶 🎼 🎵 😎
I only take frites & a couple of drinks. I can say that the place is really nice, great atmosphere, excellent service, very good music. I really enjoy it & I would certainly come back soon.
Amazing atmosphere & vibe. We got such great service & had a fantastic time hearing some blues during our trip to Montreal. The food was tasty but nothing amazing, we attending the early seating where dinner is required but you may choose to attend the later one & just get snacks & drinks & enjoy some great music!
Fabulous experience here! The music was incredible (an extraordinary local group did a Roy Hargrove retrospective) & the staff super attentive, friendly, & efficient. We had a great evening! I liked going to the later show so we could linger over drinks & talk after the music was done.
The show was amazing but the food & the drinks we're just ok unfortunately. I had the duck & some sangria. The service was very friendly so I might go back & choose something else from the menu!

Busy, cozy little jazz spot with great cocktails & a romantic, dreamy vibe. Feels like you're on the set of a movie. It was busy when we went so we waited quite awhile for our drinks & food but didn't mind at all because the music was so good
Really disappointing experience overall. The main act cancelled last minute & was replaced by another band, which already set a different tone for the evening. We arrived on time but our table wasn't ready, so we had to wait about 10-15 minutes.
When we were finally seated, it was all the way in the back near the kitchen/bathroom area where we could barely see the band. While trying to have a normal conversation at our table with instrumental jazz playing, the staff repeatedly told us we were too loud, even though nearby tables were much louder & weren't being addressed.
On top of that, the drinks were disappointing (the martini tasted mostly like olive juice, & the Encore cocktail wasn't good either). Overall, the experience didn't match the expectations for a jazz bar night out.
The service was truly terrible. 20 minutes before anyone spoke to us, half an hour to get our drinks, then another hour to get our food. It was also cold, but I didn't want to end it back because who knows how long it would take to ever see it again. We had no napkins, the waiter never came back to fill water glasses. Train your young staff better!
Nice place for a drink 🍹
Menu varié, portions plutôt moyennes à petites.
Jazz music 🎶, belle ambiance, mais les chansons étaient toutes en brésilien.
Il faudrait informer les clients lors de la réservation, surtout qu'il y a 17,50 $ à payer pour la musique . Service gateau aussi non mentionné!

Visited Upstairs Jazz bar during a 48 hour trip to Montreal, atmosphere was wonderful & service was great. Food & drink prices were reasonable. Overall a great experience & would 100% go again; & recommend a friend to go here.
Everything was perfect; the service, the ambiance, the food/drinks .... & the music form that Trio (Alex, Rémi-Jean & Aaron) was amazing.
We will come back for sure !!!
They should revisited their'vins à la carte' simply not possible to drink it. Surprising for a Jazz bar downtown. Also it took 20 min just to order & we had to insist someone come at our table to take the order.
It was our 1st! We had a truly enjoyable evening for my son's 33rd bday with food & drinks. Taurey Butler was performing with Jim Doxas! Amazing artists in such a charming setup on a cold stormy december night! Memorable!

Relatively fun spot on a Saturday night in Montreal. However, talking during the jazz set was discouraged/not allowed & there was no room for dancing. Understandable considering it is such a small venue, but not what I expected. The nachos we ordered were terrible, but the drinks were fine.
Don't let the name fool you... Upstairs Bar & Grill is actually downstairs! I got in last-minute off the waitlist for a seat at the bar, & I'm so glad I did.
The vibe is lively & welcoming, with very friendly fellow patrons (definitely a late Gen X/Boomer crowd overall; think relaxed, music-loving regulars rather than rowdy kids). Service was warm & personable; it was a packed house so things were a little slow, but totally understandable & handled with grace.
Food was a standout: I had the salmon salad & it was fantastic. Great value, flavourful, clearly a well-thought-out menu overall. Drinks were also on point: I enjoyed a well-balanced dirty vodka martini made with a new-to-me top-shelf vodka, & the wine selection looked solid.
The space was completely packed, which speaks to how popular it is, though part of me wished there had been room to dance. Can't have it all, I guess!
Would definitely go back for the atmosphere, the food, & that martini. Highly recommend grabbing a bar seat if you can snag one.
We really enjoyed the early show & the food/drink was quite good. My wife had the salmon with rice & i had the steak frites. The music was more bluesy the night we went, which we enjoyed.
A must visit Jazz Bar. I was there two out of the three nights I spent in Montreal. Very nice ambience that you would expect in a nice Jazz Bar, friendly service & reasonably priced drinks.
