Le Upstairs, ce sont des spectacles de jazz de grande qualité, auxquels vous pourrez assister confortablement assis dans un sofa, un verre à la main ou en dégustant un savoureux repas.
Les avis décrivent Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill comme un lieu intime et chaleureux, idéal pour écouter du jazz en direct et profiter d'une atmosphère conviviale. Le programme va d'artistes locaux à des invités, offrant des performances énergiques et souvent mémorables. La nourriture et les boissons sont généralement bien accueillies, avec plusieurs plats et boissons jugés savoureux et de bonne valeur, bien que quelques commentaires signalent des plats arrivant tièdes ou un menu à renouveler. L'atmosphère est souvent décrite comme romantique ou chaleureuse, adaptée pour une soirée ou un dîner musical; toutefois la salle peut être bondée et le placement des tables serré lors des heures de pointe. Le service est fréquemment chaleureux et efficace, avec des compliments pour le personnel attentif, mais certains trouvent le service plus lent lors des soirées très fréquentées. Les réservations sont recommandées, surtout pour les spectacles populaires, et il est utile de savoir qui joue à l'avance pour choisir une bonne table. Dans l'ensemble, Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill est perçu comme une référence montréalaise pour les amateurs de jazz, offrant régulièrement une musique mémorable et une ambiance distinctive.
Une merveilleuse soirée avec de la musique cubaine de grande qualité. Les repas étaient excellents & le service impeccable. À recommander pour tout amateur de musique.
My group was visiting from upstate NY & had a 9pm dinner reservation. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Street parking is tough, so utilizing a neighboring parking garage might be the best idea. The musical performance was Andy Rubal Cuban Jazz Quartet. They were FANTASTIC! Cocktails were good. Our table ordered a Vesper, Mojito, & two Old Fashions. All were prepared well. For food our table ordered the red snapper, bourbon, bacon, burger, & duck. Dessert was crème brûlée which was heavenly! No one at the table was dissatisfied with their meal. A great time & a destination spot I would recommend all Montreal visitors to experience. We will definitely make this a staple destination every time we visit Montreal. My group was visiting from upstate NY & had a 9pm dinner reservation. We were seated immediately upon arrival.

The Upstairs jazz bar is a great place to go to be reminded of just how much wonderful talent there is in this crazy world. Always a terrific experience. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful night at Upstairs Jazz Bar for the Upstairs Jam Session with Jim Doxas on Wednesday. Food was excellent (recommend the aubergine parmesan, but lots of the plates going by looked delicious). Exceptional jazz! If you are in Montreal, be sure to make a reservation for Wednesdays at Upstairs Jazz.

Super endroit chaleureux pour passer une soirée relaxante en écoutant des musiciens talentueux. Leurs repas sont délicieux & frais! Le service est agréable & vite. Les tables sont plutôt proches les unes des autres, mais c'est pas un dérangeant. Je recommande à tout le monde, c'est ma sortie préférée à faire!
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.
While the music was good, the service was a display of unequalled incompetence & quite frankly a sheer disaster. The seating provided no leg room beneath the table, but plenty of opportunity to be constantly shoved by the flux of passage. The amateur with a mustache in particular was so delicate that he spilled water on me & knocked me on the back of my head with a set of plates. The food arrived cold & was as bland & as tasteless as the grit from the back of a dirty fryer. Not a single apology or gesture to compensate for the complete lack of professionalism made this an experience I wouldn't recommend.
Great venue, the ambiance is groovy & intimate! The band was GREAT (Remi-jean LEBLANC Quartet PLAYS STEVIE WONDER), unfortunately the vocals were waayyyy too loud (according to my brother's nerdy smartwatch, drums maxed at 85 dB while vocals peaked at over 112dB when she sang her stronger/higher notes, as even when belting, she never held the mic away from her lips). People tensed & winced & some literally covered their ears. We mentioned it to a waiter - in vain. Still, beautiful voice & clever jazz adaptations of Steve Wonder's hits!
Service was great, but the food was generally ordinary. (I don't recommend the ceviche, tacos or burgers) The egg noodles with sun-dried tomatoes & creamy sauce was amazing - & the cheese cake too!
Spectacle époustouflant! Performance relevée des musiciens & l'acoustique est vraiment bonne. Les plats sont de très bonne qualité aussi. Je recommande fortement cet endroit pour tout amateur (amatrice) de Jazz!
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.
Not worth the money. I'd rather pay for a jazz concert at a music hall, because the waiter would not allow us to talk at a low voice during the time the band was playing. They charged a $17 cover & then the waiter insisted every time he came to the table, that every person HAD to order a dish from the menu. I ordered'cazuela de mariscos' & the rice was overcooked to the point of almost disintegrating. They just added a lot of black pepper to make it seem flavorful. I can tell you (after a decade of living in Spain itself) that this is not how you cook a'cazuela de mariscos'. This anti-social experience really ruined our meeting with friends we had not seen in 6 years. Would not recommend as a place for socializing. Not at all like the other jazz clubs I've been to in other cities in the world. Maybe they should just put rows of seats in front of the stage, & forget about serving meals?
Very nice Jazz Place in the heart of Montreal. Super cosy, great music & very good food. We reserved the table close to the stage & had a great musical night! Absolutely recommend it when you're in Montreal!
