“ Very good wine list! Brenden makes a great dark and stormy with ginger . We really enjoyed our time here, cozy but very industrial, similar look and feel to old Montreal. Our bartender was very informative and helpful in finding other places yo go. ... ”
“ Really nice vibes here with my colleagues for drinks & dancing. Drinks were on point & not overly priced. I didn't get a chance to eat here yet, but I will definitely try out sometime in the future. The staff were very friendly & always around when we needed them. Friendly crowd. Great place, I will definitely be back soon! ”
“ Doorman was able to quickly get us a table for 4 and we had great service! The only thing is that i find that the interior was extremely dark as if they had a power outage. Turns out the decor is very dim and music is quite loud. ”
“ Great vibe and service. Wide variety of drinks but didn’t try any of the food. Great location. There is construction going on but I would say it’s not their fault since it’s outside lol. I see other reviews grading the place poorly due to that. Will be visiting again. ”
“ We had a corporate retreat in Montreal and ended up at Philemon for one of our nightly parties. It was awesome! Welcoming intimate space, great music and dj, friendly bartenders. Go often and have a great time! ”
“ Looked like a great space, but was closed at 6pm on a Saturday night despite what Google had listed as hours. ”
“ Had a blast here! Bar was LIT on a Wednesday night-even with the road torn up like a war zone for construction. Cozy dim atmosphere, beautiful & intriguing people, great music, lots of seating. Vibes were epic. With such hospitable owners like Ariel & JD, and friendly bartenders like Antoine, can’t help but feel the magic at this special little gem. Grateful to discover our new favorite hang out in the old port. 10/10 ”
“ Little known secret the natural wine selection here is outstanding. You would not know it as most people are drinking cocktails and beer. ”
