Bar Datcha

I had a wonderful time with my two friends. We went on a Thursday for their jazz night and it was so much fun! There was a $7 add on for the live band which we were told about while being seated. Our server was so friendly and took great care of us. The bar was very reminiscent of a speakeasy, it was very dark and tables were lit by candles. If you have issues seeing in the dark, definitely take that into account. After a little while my eyes adjusted, but when I first walked in it was hard to see. Overall I had a lovely time. The cocktails were delicious, staff were friendly, the band was wonderful and I will definitely be going back!

We came to montreal and were looking for a club or bar with Russian Rave, EDM or Hardbass (similar to GSPD, CMH and Russian Village Boys) to which we could dance. This bar/club was top rated on most forums for this kind of music, so we decided to visit at night. The club was not at all what we expected. To start off, despite the place being called a bar, they boast having a dancefloor and dj - which turned out to be a 3x3 meter nook in the bar. The music itself was also very very mellow, even for my friends who are new to EDM. If you're looking to dance, this is not the place for you. Second, there is no Russian theme or music. After talking with a waiter, he told us the bar was recently bought up. The previous owners were the family that got this bar on the top of many lists and forums for EDM music and its Russian identity. As we were told, the new Ukranian owners "quickly got rid of all of the weird Russian stuff." Whats crazier is that as we were about to leave, the waiter asked us if we would like a stamp so we wouldnt need to pay to re-enter the bar that night. Although a nice gesture, we were very surprised to see that the stamp was for the political "воля" symbol on our wrists. Because of these two big issues, we felt quite mislead and regreted spending even just a portion of our night here. The atmosphere was quite gloomy, and low energy. The waiter was nice and talkative, however, the bartenders were short tempered, getting immediatly pissed off when I asked if there would be any EDM. The cocktail menu was average in both price and drinks.

Great cocktails, great staff. Avoid on weekends, it devolves into a certain janky club vibe. Jazz and Tarot on thursdays is good

Nice atmosphere inside with a variety of cocktail selection. Extra $6 for Thursday night live jazz. It was good. Server was really nice. Would come back again.

amazing vibes! my friends and i got there around 8 on a thursday and they were very accommodating (we were 6). the jazz music was so soothing and the drinks were delicious! i had the white russian and my friends had the espresso martini and the the la plumme. the waitresses were the sweetest and we had the best time! the bathrooms were also great for pictures and just for hanging out

I've been to the Jazz and Tarot Thursday twice now and it's always pretty fun. There's an interesting speakeasy atmosphere with live Jazz music, drinks are pretty good and not that expensive ($12-14 for a cocktail) and the service is intimate and friendly. The personalized tarot card readings also give a sort of mystical vibe to the place which is pretty nice.

Datcha is a must. Amazing assortment of DJ’s, some of the most talented in Montreal. I recommend checking who is playing beforehand and if they suit your taste. If you come before the dancing, the bar has an amazing "sit down and have a cocktail" vibe. Dark and mysterious. Order the Moscow Mule, if Datcha had a taste that would be it. The candlelit jazz night is also mind blowing. One of the best spots in the city.
