Music was way too loud, couldn't even hear crossed the table. After waiting 35 minutes, they informed us that the kitchen lost our order so it took another 30 minutes after that to get our food. Didn't offer any sort of compensation. It felt like a night club in there, but it was priced like fine dining. (30$ for a salad!!) It was not a good dining experience at all. Portions were quite small too.

Steak wasn’t properly grilled but it isn’t a steakhouse so that wasn’t so much a surprise. The Sangria was delicious and the service was delightful. The mood and atmosphere was inviting and the ambience made the got weather tolerable. Perfect place to start your evening.

A local merchant recommended this place to David, our friends and myself and we are so glad we checked it out. The food, cocktails, atmosphere and service were exceptional. Simon our waiter was charming and only added to our dinning experience. It’s establishments like this that make Montreal’s Gay Village a destination worth visiting still.

Saloon offers an absolutely out-of-this-world mac and cheese. I have never tasted anything like it. The addition of goldfish was a unique choice that I wasn't sure about, but it paired perfectly with the dish. The atmosphere is very nice and romantic, making it a perfect spot for a date.

Stunning and unique location in the heart of downtown Montreal. Great queer venture to visit after pride events. The staff were attentive, language-flexible, and provided great recommendations. I'd return just to sit, have a drink, and enjoy the vibe.

Saloon seems to be more festive outside and upstairs, and a bit quieter inside on the main floor. Drinks are well made, and I enjoyed what was essentially a...
