La P'tite Grenouille Montréal — Restaurant in Montreal

Dropped by with a pretty large party (10 people) at the end of a night out. They let us in without too much of a wait and dropped the cover charge down to 7$ per person. The bouncer promised us free coat chack and a round of shots on the house. The coat check was not well staffed and we waited for over half an hour in a short, unmovining queue before giving up and going to find a table. The only open table was tiny, not normally a problem, but they did not have room for us at the time they let us in.

The shots we ordered came pretty quickly and seemed to all of us like they were very watered down, which makes sense as they were so cheap. I'd much rather pay more for an actual shot of alcohol than alcohol flavored mixers.

The music was obscenely loud. It was clear the music was not for the enjoyment of the people on the bar. There was an unpopulated dance floor in front of the speakers, I believe entirely due to people's fear for their hearing. It definitely was dance worthy music: it was one guy killing it playing pop songs covers. Hopefully this was just a one night accident on their part, but it really killed the vibe for me, because I couldn't even talk to the people I came in with. Even if it wasn't for everything else, I think the music would be the reason I wouldn't go here ever again.

The bathroom was actually not that bad. It's a bar. I just need a place to pee. It's wasn't really even dirty as far as bar bathrooms go.

Probably the worst part was the people and atmosphere. I had the impression that the people in there were sincerely trying really really hard to have a good time, and not succeeding. The whole crowd reeked of thirst.

It's a quintessential cheap bar, but it's not that cheap with the cover charge, you can't dance, and the drinks are...

You have to be super drunk to enjoy this place. First off, cover was 5$, thats okay. HOWEVER. According to the bartender there is no drink menu, so how do I know if I was charged accurately for my drink. I was charged 8.50 for a big bottle of Bud, but I see other reviews saying 6.50. Something's not right with that. The bar and seats were sticky and wet, but this of course was due to the crowd of university aged kids that were piss drunk. Could have been cleaner. Music was okay until the kids the kids took over the mic and sang pretty horrible karaoke music. You can request other songs of course and the DJ plays them for you, but it just gets back to lame karaoke music that you cannot dance to. Also I swear there were underage kids in there (16 years old at most). There was a guy who was out of his mind drunk trying to dance with specific girls and even grabbed a girls ass after which she walked away. Security was not watching nor did anything. It was a very uncomfortable evening. When there's less than 15 people on the dance floor, there's no way the security guy can't keep a better eye on these people. Should not have to be our responsibility to watch after losers and be paranoid about him grabbing my friend (which he did while I turned away for a second). He literally stalked us for an hour. Disgusting crowd. Cheap shots for sure but a cheap crowd too. Could be a lot better with a...

My experience there went from "okay" to "seriously?!". There's an entrance fee and there's a coat check section. They have bands performing and drinks are pretty cheap. I had a large budweiser bottle for 6.50 and before midnight, 25 shots for 25$. The shots were not worth it. There was more juice than actually alcohol, maybe that's why they were cheap. This is my okay component.

Things get worst when they said that my friend didn't reserve a table (we were at least 20 people) when she did get an email confirmation (which they answer this by saying that it's invalid) so we got a table that fits 8 people, which we lost during the night. Also, coat checks service is horrible. My friend lost her ticket and when she was about to give a description of her coat, they walk away. I had my ticket but they gave it back to me because they couldn't find my jacket. One girl asked who gave me the ticket (it was her) and the other asks if I dropped my ticket and picked up a wrong one. My coat was actually on the ground under the row of coats and they didnt notice it after i spotted it.

I understand that it's a place with cheap drinks and it gets full quickly. But the service that we received was utterly bad and it's ashamed because this place...
