| - This place is listed in several places as one of the best jazz clubs in Canada, and specifically in Montreal. Since Montreal has possibly one of the best jazz scenes in the world, that's high praise. I can see why.
While the music may not always be jazz, the club is a great venue. Its small and intimate, with good acoustics. Make sure you check the calendar, as the bands can be eclectic. And you may want to make reservations. Finally, expect a cover charge ($11 and well worth it).
The doorman was great. There wasn't any more room for a show and, instead of simply telling us to beat feet as many would, he recommended a later show and reservations in the future. We came back for the later show and he seated us at the side bar. After the set, he seated us (party of two) in a booth for the late set. While the house wasn't full for the late show, it was still greatly appreciated.
Great staff, great venue, great music. I can't recommend it enough.
