Ninkasi Bar & Bistro stands out as a lively spot in Quebec City, appreciated for its atmosphere, karaoke nights, games, and group activities. The food is often described as good and generous, with several positive mentions of the beers, breakfasts, and dishes like poutine, burgers, and nachos. However, several customers report that service can sometimes be slow or uneven, along with booking errors and a few frustrations with the welcome.
I good ambient and really good drinks
Very untidy and loud.
One of the best vibes at a karaoke bar
The BEST karaoke around! We had a big group (like 100+) for a conference and they arranged for us to join the karaoke night - it was spectacular. Bar was great to our people, DJ has a great online system to book songs and PROPER karaoke rules, bravo Ninkasi 💙
A nice locals bar
A terrific bar and food place, with a vast array of board games to play as well. The staff were so enthusiastic and helpful, recommending 2 games which we very much enjoyed. The food was so tasty as well and the portions were really generous. A great first night in Quebec for us on our visit from the UK.
Fun local Karaoke spot. Good service and great drinks. Atmosphere is overall pretty good, but can sometimes get sketchy depending on the patrons.
Nice staff with local drinks and good food.
We had a great time here, they accepted to host our group and our well manered dog on the terrace for lunch. People were polite, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The staff caught up to us on the sidewalk to return my son's sweater that he had forgotten on the bench after our meal.
We went for a hot lunch as a family of 9, grandparents, parents and children. They were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food came quickly and was enjoyed by all. A great place to go. The location was good and in a nice location. There was outdoor seating but we were too big a group.
Absolutely one of the best karaoke bars I’ve ever been to!!! I love that they have karaoke every night, but also different floors to chill and do other things, like dancing, playing board games, or just sitting by a balcony. The karaoke is by far the highlight tho, I’ve never seen a crowd so engaged and so upbeat. Everyone was supportive of my singing, I even made a couple of friends. The kj was also quite nice, and the staff was generally quick with answering your questions and giving you drinks. Honestly amazing vibes, I’ll be recommending it to everyone coming to Québec!!
Total blast. Each time 😁
Ended stopping here for food and I gotta say we were very impressed. Got the beets salad and the fish and chips! The batter of the fish and chip was amazing. They have lots of beer choices also. Great stop.
We had dinner at 9 pm Service was correct and on time, people were friendly. We sat at the outdoor terrace, with nice ambiance. Price was fine according to the average standards. We would recommend.
The food was good … I had the deer panini, my wife had the burger. Choice abit limited but I guess we chose to eat there . Staff flexible on moving a reservation but then again e didn’t need one… very quite but then again it was 21:00 on a Sunday and it’s a late night venue … livening up as we left at 23:00 to be fair
Wonderful breakfast, friendly staff and amazing owner. They also helped with my attempts at french, highly recommend 😃
A great discovery in the early morning when the streets were quiet and empty. Delicious breakfast, good options, friendly service.
Took a seat in their mostly empty pub last night (the patio was full when we arrived, to be fair) in plain sight of the bar. We were ignored for the first 5 minutes so I went to the bar to order two beers after finding the menu online. The bartender told us we couldn’t order at the bar if we had a table, and that a waiter would come to us. 10 minutes later, still no waiter… we wave one down and finally order our two beers. Then we sat for 15 more minutes while we watched seemingly everyone else in the restaurant get served, including two people who went to the bar and were given drinks immediately, while ours never arrived. Finally after wasting nearly 30 minutes of our limited time to spend in town with no drinks we left. I understand places get busy (especially during the festival) and people make mistakes - but it should be possible to receive two simple draft beers within a reasonable amount of time. And if the wait staff are busy, then allowing people to order and pay for drinks at the bar would have prevented this disappointing experience.
Great service, friendly staff.
Nice, warm, friendly place. Good food, came here on a Sunday around noon.
Fun karaoke bar. Got quite packed on saturday night. Seemed like mostly locals (everyone was speaking French) but still fun as an English speaking tourist
Love this place!
Very welcoming server and food was outstanding. The best salad on our trip. Classic poutine and chicken burger was all perfect. Best meal we have had in Quebec.
The best night i had in a very long time. A refaire
Great time, fun karaoke and fun people!
