Bar Le Confessionnal — Restaurant in Montreal

Located at the edge of Old Port, I really like how un-pretentious this place is compared to some of the other places in this part of the city (shots directly fired at the snobs @ Velvet Speakeasy). No cover, no stern security, no bottle requirements - just come in and have a good time. To be expected of the area, drinks are pricy. But this also filters the crowd to mid 20's to early 30's, which is nice as so many places in Montreal are overrun by younger crowds. The DJ's that play here are quality, they play a great variety of music and know their urban hits well. Seeing a lot of complaints on the bar service in comments and I can't say that's been my experience, I've received pretty good service here overall. Can be a bit of a wait at peak times though. Only real weakness of this place is how limited the space is. In combination with how lax they are on entry, the place gets unbearably crowded at times. The dancefloor is quite narrow, it's located in the middle of the DJ booth, both bars and the way to the washroom. So if you try dancing there you are constantly dealing with people trying to move past you or just in someone's personal space. Overall this is one of my favourite places to party in...

As far as I am concerned, no trip to Montreal is complete without going to Bar Le Confessional. Convenient location, very close to some of the other major clubs in the area. The staff at the door and inside are super friendly and helpful. The bar itself isn’t huge, but given the number of people that are inside usually, its the perfect size. Bartenders know what they’re doing, and security is always walking around on the main floor to look out for anyone causing trouble.

I love the music here, DJ is always mixing good music, gets you in the mood. Its a good place for a couple or big groups, something for everyone.

I would like to see the management enforce the coat check instead of letting people just put their jackets on the couch/seating area by the entrance. This is the only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars, other than that, amazing place to...

I don't usually leave reviews but this place really hit the mark. Not only is it a beautiful location (is anything more picturesque in Montreal than the Old Port???) and it's a GREAT venue (15/10 aesthetic in terms of general Montreal clubs and special s/o to the mirrors, which are amazing for when you're dancing and you're really feeling yourself, a.k.a all the time), despite the distance from downtown. What really made the bar stand out, however, is the outstanding service. All the drinks were VERY GENEROUSLY made (bless) and when I lost my phone, everyone was more than helpful and I not only found it but was able to recuperate it very early. Definitely going back (ideally not losing my phone...
