Review summary

What guests say about Bowie Speakeasy

Bowie Speakeasy in Montreal gets lots of praise for its atmosphere, decor, music, and cocktails, with several customers also highlighting very attentive service. The food is often described as good to very good, and many mention that it is a nice place for a special night out or with friends. On the other hand, some reviews mention inconsistent service at the entrance, waiting, or a place that is too crowded and too noisy, with a few serious comments about the welcome and comfort. It therefore seems better suited to those looking for a lively, stylish outing, while keeping in mind that the experience may vary depending on the time and the staff.

Bowie is easily one of the best speakeasies in Montreal. The atmosphere is intimate, sophisticated, and effortlessly cool, making it the perfect spot for a night out What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was the service. A special shoutout to Zakaria, who went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. He was incredibly attentive, personable, and professional, striking the perfect balance between making us feel welcome and giving us space to enjoy the night. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely elevates an already great experience through exceptional hospitality Between the ambiance, the cocktails, and Zakaria’s outstanding service, Bowie is a place I’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend!

A friend of mine introduced me to Bowie, and I can confidently say it did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in, Zacky was the first to welcome me and let me say... he made me feel like a regular on my very first visit. It's rare to find someone who takes that much pride in what they do. Definitely looking forward to coming back, and Zacky is a big reason why!

I've been coming to Bowie for a while now, and one staff member consistently stands out. He's always the first to greet me, make sure I'm taken care of, and ensure I have a great experience. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine hospitality never goes unnoticed. It's people like him who make me want to keep coming back. Truly an asset to Bowie and someone who deserves recognition! Thanks Zacky

Great atmosphere and genuinely friendly people. The cocktail menu is full of high-quality drinks. Victoria was warm, welcoming and clearly passionate about what she does. She took the time to walk me through their signature cocktails, asked what I like, and gave spot-on recommendations. My favourite was the Neon Light (pictured), absolutely delicious. She also made me a few custom drinks that were just as good. She is great! I'll definitely be back!

Great service and lovely ambiance. I came last Saturday with my girlfriends for a girls night and our server (Nouha) made sure that everything was perfect from the moment we came in until we walked out. Big thank you to the beautiful Nouha for really showcasing her hard work and genuine dedication to leave the customers happy by the end of the night. 10/10.
