The Upstairs Jazz Bar, decidedly down a few steps from the street, has been hosting live jazz music nightly for years. Big names are infrequent, but the groups are more than competent. Sets begin as at 8:30pm, and there are three a night, 7 days a week. Decor includes record-album covers and fish tanks. Pretty good food ranges from bar snacks to more substantial meals. Most patrons are edging... plus
Small place with a big reputation. Everyday of the year, it's all about the jazz. Renowned local musicians and big name international performers love this diminutive den packed to the brim with jazz aficionados. Hungry for more than jazz? The grub's good, too.

There are a few tables outside the door that lead to steps bringing you downstairs (thus explaining the upside down sign). The interior reminded us of a smaller version of Jules Bistro in the East Village of NYC: laid back,... plus
Wonderful, intimate jazz club, which serves good food. We went along without a reservation on a Wednesday night & were lucky enough to get the last table.

We were only in Montreal for 1 night, I am so pleased we chose...

The setting is a quintessential jazz club, but the food was so much better than we expected.
