What a very kool dinner-and-a-show experience! Though it's 100% pur Québecois: so unilingual anglos…read moreneed not attempt. (While that might sound humourous, I'm serious, if you're not REALLY good in Québecois french you will NOT understand this show. I'm *REALLY* good and I had moments I didn't quite catch.) The ambiance and the whole evening of comedy, murder and mystery for the price I think deserves a solid 5 stars. For ~80$ all taxes, drinks, tips and fees included, I had an amazingly fun evening with my friends. You have to reserve in advance, its a 15$ charge for each no-show, so make sure everyone will attend. It's 50$ for a 3-course-dinner +show+taxes+tip included. It's 1.25$ for coat check which is mandatory, (tip for coatcheck not included). And beverages, as well as tip on beverages, not included also. Bienvenue à votre petite ville pour la soirée: Sainte Pepite! They have different themed shows, but the one we attended (January 2019) was a Western theme set in Sainte Pepite. *People from the audience get called upon!* Your friends will cruelly volunteer you up for the task without you even being aware before your name is called, no one is spared! And it's like a roast: so be prepared to answer uncomfortable questions and be poked fun at: don't be an oversensitive, wet blanket! (Read: don't be so 2018, okay?!) Be prepared to join in, dance and play games with the actors! (Fwiw: no topic of your personal life is off limits, no topic is taboo. So you may want to ensure your closet's been cleaned of its' skeletons before attending.) The 2 main options for dinner were chicken or salmon, so vegetarians who don't eat fish and vegans probably need not attempt either. I chose the 'Poulet Supreme' it was just meh. Bland gravy, dry chicken and oversalted veggies (beans), I love salt and this was really way too much. Less than 1 star for all the food: really bland and terrible. Dessert excluded, 3.5 stars for the dessert, a chocolate mousse type cake, nummy! Great coffee too, super impressed with how good the coffee was, 4 stars. I ordered 2 glasses of red wine (7$×2), served freezing cold *le sigh*, but generous portion, 1 kind only to order per glass: Citra d'Abruzzo. There were several options of full bottles available, decently priced (as low as 38$ if memory serves), so likely I would prefer to try that next time with a friend. It's a lot of fun! We all really enjoyed the whole night despite none of us enjoying the meals lol! They could totally charge 10-30$ more *easily* and pimp the dinners a bit better. We all agreed and we were 20 ppl! Go for the show, not the food. It's edible, but not wow. The drinks and the soirée is a blast though! Loved it and would happily repeat the evening, bland meal and all!

Delicious food and great shows!…read more We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The food was the best we had during our weekend in Montreal. We ordered the eggplant parm, which was alright, and the sea bass, which was the highlight. The sea bass was a nightly special and we opted for it to be served with risotto; it was excellent! The show was enjoyable and entertaining! A great collection of songs performed by the Taurey Butler Trio. Plus, he was entertaining on the mic (in both French and English). The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were pleasant, so I'd highly recommend this establishment!

People were there to enjoy the music, and the sense of community and joy was contagious. I especially loved to see the performers getting younger students on the stage and community members; their excitement was infectious. It was the jazz club I'd only dreamt existed when I read about them in books. I grew up enjoying jazz, but this was my first chance to go to a "real jazz club". The food was great, and the waitress was very kind. My boyfriend raved about the fish and chips, and the brownie à la mode was a fantastic bite to end the night.

The main floor is tables/chairs set up cabaret style. The balcony is church pews with a thin piece of fabric as your seat cushion. You'll be up dancing anyways, so don't get too comfy! Balcony is also "sit wherever" so feel free to move around... but make sure you close out with your server! If you can find them! Once the show starts, I really didn't see anyone to grab me another drink:( It's a very intimate venue- there are no bad seats! Very picturesque too! The entrance is on the side street! There's a coat check for $3CAD and yes they take cards! Beware- there's a long line aftee to get your coat! The bathrooms are pitiful! Located up a bunch of stairs and then there's only 2 teeny stalls! For a venue, we need more please!

I somehow thought they would collect it at the door, but it was added to my bar tab. Good idea, efficient, they surely don't do that here! I was hoping to sit at a table, but they told me a previous party was still there, so they sat me at the bar, with my back to the music! I was not happy with that but since I was there by myself maybe it was to be expected? The place reminded me of The Green Mill here in Chicago, another intimate jazz club, except they serve food here as well. I had eaten earlier so I only got drinks. I sampled one of the local beers and had a cocktail. The bartender was helpful and friendly. The Alex Bellegarde Trio came on and were great. Other guests came up for a jam session, one of my favorite things about jazz. The place was not easy to find on public transportation, but maybe that's bc I took the train and walked. The area was nice, artsy and busy even at 11:30 at night. I'd go back next time I am in Montreal, but maybe take a Lyft or Uber.

Most of the comedians are up and coming or starting to perform for their first few times. As for the actual bar, it could use some updating. It did not feel so clean inside and was quite dark upon entry of the venue. Not sure why this was, as when I arrived, they were getting ready for the stand up comedy show. If they focused on cleaning this place up and making it more appealing, then I would probably add another star to the review.

I REPEAT, THIS COMEDY CLUB IS IN THE MALL! walk into the mall and its up stairs.

My family and I spontaneously came here for Moody McCarthey on a Friday night. As it so happens,…read moreMoody is from NYC, so we really loved his humor and jokes. I honestly couldn't tell if his overly-American jokes were funny to the locals. Do your research, I suppose. Comedy Nest is deep inside a large, old hockey arena, so make sure to give yourself enough time to get there and get your seats. Also, the bathrooms are nowhere near the comedy club itself, so be prepared to exit the comedy club if you need to use the bathroom. It is an adventure. It took through the 3 openers for someone to ask if we wanted something to drink. Small but fair beer options priced how you'd expect at a club (though perhaps not as atrocious as an American comedy club price). Fun venue and a good time. We got a very fair price for the level of humor and amount of laughs we got that night.
