Finally went there last Saturday as I've heard a lot about this bar and gosh that was great . We were sat on a table at the Terrace of this bar and the atmosphere was really good but be ready to wait in line before you get a table we've waited for about 30 min or so which van be kinda long when you're not really patient like me . But overall except the waiting part we had an amazing experience at this bar . Also every drinks or sloches are candy theme read more

Candi Bar - The french frog sloches with Alcohol omg - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This place is exactly what you'd expect. Over the top candy-themed decor/theme. I'm talking lighting, furniture, drink menu. All candy all the time, which I'm 100% here for btw. We were the only ones when we walked in, but it was still fairly early and it did start picking up before we left. The drinks on the menu are all suuuuuper sugary, as one might expect, so just be aware of that. Maybe next time i'll ask them to add another shot to the drink so it can absorb some of that sweetness. Oh also... the restrooms are fun lol (or at least the men's restroom is) Overall though no regrets. Fun vibe and good for photos! Stay Cheerful ;) read more

You will be hard-pressed to find another bar in Montreal that resembles Candi Bar. The decor is very unique and eye-catching. You can expect to see a bar constructed of Lego and really cool artwork on the walls. I also enjoyed all the old school music that they were playing. In addition to classic cocktails that you will find in any bar they also make their own custom slush-based ones that come garnished with different candies depending on what you choose. Personally, I found them much too sweet for my taste, and I felt that they would appeal more those who have only recently become legal and are just starting to discover bars and nightlife. The concept is interesting but I am not entirely sold on it. It's an okay place but I feel that if I were in the Plateau neighbourhood I would probably end up going elsewhere next time I wanted a drink. read more

Candi Bar - Slush-based cocktail - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I'm giving 3 stars because the staff is friendly and caring. However on the other side it's not the best drinks I had. And I tried 4 different ones, they were all very sweet and not sure if there was alcohol in them. I loved their signature cocktails with all the candies et presentation but these drinks need less sugar infused and more alcohol. read more

I love the entryway and the theme of the bar you enter through a regular door and then there's a door looking like a mouth with cute details pushing open the door to reveal Candy decor heaven. We went during the day and we were the only table. They have a big list of alcohol mixtures they have created and some of the regular signature ones you can order as well. Everything from their menu, washrooms, tables, it all has a theme. The drinks are very very expensive, more expensive than a club. They do not taste that great but some are pretty. The one she got was just a simple slush with one ring pop on it. They could've done more on presentation on that (rim the cup with sugar or add some more detail to it). While you're here check out the washroom as well, its pretty. They also have one stall (in the women's washroom) where there is two toilets sitting face to face with no wall. Now you can poop or pee with your best friend... together! yaaay! hahaha its a cute place to check out. But because of the price and the quality of the drinks we will not be returning. read more

Such a cool experience! The music was good, played all the popular hits. And the spinning disco balls and the colored lights really made it a cool environment. The drinks were meh. I tried the 'Mr Freeze" which was vodka, curaçao blue and citrus. Mine was actually really strong but i can't remember if its cause I forgot to mix it or not. It comes with gummy bears and candies to make it look cool. Also the menu! So cool! One is a huge wooden lollipop with the items written on it and the other is a square menu made completely of pink and purple lego blocks. Not the mention that the entire bar looks like its made of lego blocks too! The decor in the bar is what really caught my eye. One wall is filled with multi color lips tiled on. The decor is definitely very unique and hard to come by. So glad we found this bar randomly! Highly recommend to anyone- locals and tourists alike- in the Montreal area! read more

Amazing drinks and fast service Their terrace is super large and fun to drink on Will come back forsuee read more

Fist time going and it was fun. They have a huge selection of cavity style drinks if that's your thing ! I for one love all the names and love the presentation from drinks on a big lollipop to the mega block drink menu. Bartenders are super friendly that work there and one is a fantastic dancer lol. 13.50 for a double old fashion not bad. Cool thing is u can go to the bathroom with your bestfriend. Legit there's a double toilette in the stall lol. read more

The décor is SO FETCH! The music was very interesting but nice and up beat! I loved the girls' uniforms, but unfortunately they didn't sell them (cute Candi tanks). The server we had was new but a complete gem. Drinks were very similar to ones you get in Vegas, but smaller and cutely garnished. The theme of the whole place was wonderful. And the menus were such a great idea to go with the whole "candy" theme. Almost reminded me of Alice in Wonderland and Willy Wonka. read more

I came across Candi Bar by complete fluke. It almost looks like your entering into a door of "Alice in Wonderland". The bar is so colourful candied up! Each table has those 25 cent candy machine. The drink menu come on large lolly pops and Lego blocks. They have signature and classic cocktails starting at 12.50$ - pretty large drinks and guaranteed to have candy! I ordered the sushi 2/5-a vodka based cocktail with lychee and lemon syrup - was overly sweet- I knew that coming in. The drinks came quickly. The music was awesome here, playing old school hip hop R&B tunes. This is a definite great spot for bachelor/ette parties! read more

The vibe of this place is so cool. Everything is candy and game themed and it's very fun. The service and atmosphere were great. I came with a group and we started by splitting an XXL drink which looked so fun and had lots of candies and goodies in it. It tasted great too. We also got shooters and some got slushies. The Fruit Loops shooters were really tasty, but hardly alcoholic. The slushies taste really strong but a friend said she saw they just pour some alcohol on the top for that effect. I had ~5 drinks here and don't think I even got to feeling tipsy. They had lots of games (we came on game night) and later on they moved tables to make space for dancing, so it was a fun experience and I had a great time, but you'll definitely want to drink some beforehand. read more

Candi Bar - a colorful cocktail with candy and sprinkles - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This place looks like a candy shop on acid. The appeal is definitely for women so if you're a lady going to grab a drink, don't expect to find you're husband here. This adult candy bar is not for diabetics. All of their slushies are alcoholic, expensive ($11 each) and so full of sugar it made me pucker. However, this is a fun place to say you have been to. The decor is all neon and black light and it's a nice place to grab a drink when you are in the mood for something different. They had good music playing while we were there and although we didn't stay for long, I had a good time...or it could've just been the sugar high. read more

This place is really original and has crazy funky decor, but once is enough. The bar is made of pink and purple mega blocks, and there are little gum machines on all the tables (it ate my money!). The bar stools look like legs with nylons, which makes it pretty funny to see a guy sitting on it. The washrooms are like nothing you've seen, including two toilets in one stall (uh, what?). The drinks are a bit more expensive than other places, but I guess you pay for the 'experience'. They're really, really sweet (with gummy bears, pirouline cookies.. etc). But with a name like Candi Bar, I guess it's to be expected. I'd recommend checking it out, but not as a regular spot. read more

Friendly staff and a trippy decor, especially the work by the amazing artists of En Masse, make this a spot worth checking out if you're looking for a hallucinatory start or end to your night, or if you are with a bachelorette party, or if you are hoping to run into one. I haven't tried the giant slushy sweet drinks because I feel diabetic just looking at them, but I like that they exist, and my whiskey went down nicely thank you. The lego and candy and other details feel a little Vegas or gimmicky if you're not in the right head space for it all, but when you are I imagine the kiddiness and otherwordlyness are yegggzactly what the doctor ordered. read more

Candi Bar - En Masse redecorated! - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My best friend had his champagne birthday and really wanted to try this place out. We were here on a Wednesday night so it was it wasn't busy. The music was a little to loud to be able to have conversation with someone who wasn't right next to you. The decor was great with a triply video game graffiti vibe. The bathrooms were clean and fun to take pictures in. We were a party of 6 and each got different drinks. All of them were great and the garnishes were really creative. I got a bazooka and it really did taste like bumble gum ! Come out here for a really fun night out when your craving something sweet ! read more

Candi Bar - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This place is like a 17 year old girl and a raver decided to open up their ideal bar. Cute concept, sweet drinks all served with candy and you look like your inside rainbow bright's pirate ship but it gets old REAL fast! The drinks are more sweet than strong and after 2 you wanna stop because you have a stomachache. I can see how this can attract girls, and therefore boys and it had that general feeling too, like people where looking to get some or at least have it proposed to them. Whatever, it's cool just not my taste. If you like candy, 90s music, muscle men, made up girls and don't like the taste of alcohol then it may be for you. read more

Second time here and I'm not disappointed. I'm one of those people who is always sober, but doesn't need alcohol to have fun. This place has great drinks that you can make non-alcoholic. And by that I mean just getting an awesome slush! The flavours are amazing but I recommend the bubble gum one! oooooo it reminds me of the ol' days! The regular alcoholic drinks were $12.50. Mine was $6 (no alcohol). The environment is nice and chill, we didn't go to late so there wasn't that many people but that was great. Theres little candy machines on the tables that you can pa 25 cents for some candy (decent amount). And of course, the bathrooms are awesome. The mens have lips as urinals and the woman's bathroom have two toilet seats facing each other in one stall (can we talk about the man who came up with that thought? "why do women always go to the bathroom together... they must want to watch each other pee!") Highly recommended! read more

This place has no class. The decor is cool the music is pretty good but it's like a cheap tawdry thrill. Go in have one drink do not spend your night there. If you do have multiple drinks watch out they will try to pad your bill. If you're not Caribbean you probably won't be able to get in anyway and trust me they are doing you a favour. This place is actually a great metaphor for candy - one or two pieces is great but eat too much and you will feel like shit. Happy jamming. I can see reading some of the reviews that a lot of other people have had bad experiences here. This place is all about image and if you don't fit theirs, don't expect to be treated well. There's a reason the place is rarely ever packed. It's a shame with the right staff it could be a really live place. Take a shower Candi Bar because your attitude stinks. read more

If you are looking to overdose on sugar, noise, and young partiers, this is the place for you! This hot spot on Mont Royale is perfect for a girls night out and dudes looking for girls on a girls night out. Same owners as GoGo lounge, same upbeat and fun vibe without the cool chairs shaped like hands. Bright and funky decor, lego blocks, and patterned walls... the venue is fun, fun, fun! Okay, and the urinals (that I've seen in pictures) are shaped like an open mouth, that's so funny! I really like the candy themed drinks here. Flavoured slushies with a lot of alcohol topped with candy. $11 for some girly slurpy goodness. Ladies, if you are looking for a ring, there's the blue Tiffany that comes with a blue ringpop! They have beer here as well, for dudes who aren't into chick drinks. Even though we all know you secretly want a pink decorative drink. :P This venue is young and the people can be pushy. Overcrowded with long line-ups, be prepared to throw some elbows for some sugary satisfaction! read more

Disclaimer: The drinks are REALLY sweet over here, but the name says it all. Despite the already ultra-sweet and slushy drinks, the beverages also come with different types of candy, like the gummy-type, and the type that will crackle and pop in your mouth. It is an interesting concept, but the drinks are more sweet than they are strong, and after 1 or 2 you may get a headache or stomachache (...or become diabetic) from all that sugar. Drinks worth ordering: Tiffany & Co., made with Raspberry Smirnoff Vodka, Blue Caraçao and raspberry slush, topped with a Ringpop. Yes, your lips and tongue will stain blue, but who cares? Rock it! My personal favourite drink was the Sushi Cocktail, made with Vodka, Lychee Liquor and lemon slush, served with a pair of chopsticks to pick out the gummy-candies that were swimming at the bottom of the tall glass. The decor is very funky. The bar is adorned in neon and fluorescent lights. Seats are held up by womanly legs as the stand, which can be very amusing and entertaining when observing someone from the back. And the bathrooms are fascinating - In the girls' bathroom, one can find two toilet seats that are facing each other, for the perfect "let's pee together and gossip" scenario. Meanwhile, cartoons like Betty Boop are playing on the flat screen to keep others entertained while waiting. This bathroom could quite possibly be a woman's dream come true. In the boys' bathroom, not only do they get to relieve themselves, but they get to do so in to large, wide open, red-lipstick lips. Satisfaction guaranteed? I think so. It is not a bad place per se, it can be fun and part of a great "girls night out," however there is only so much sugar that I can handle. I would recommend it as more of a short stop since the hype dies out fast. read more

Great music, terrible drinks, rude bartender and manager and very unfriendly door staff (perhaps an English-French language barrier?)....surprising! Most places on Mont Royale St have super friendly staff. The place has great decor worth seeing once, but as a regular place it fails on everything else. Spreading the word to my peeps and not going again. read more

Very fun & bright deco - candiesque for sure! I dont care for the drinks much although they have creative names & are accompanied by a specific type of candy ! But i love the club vibe late at night , music is quite diverse with a little emphasis on popular music/hip hop & classic R&B jams. My favorite day to go there are sunday nights. Only downfall is that the place is quite narrow , gets hard to move around & dance when its packed! read more

Had so much fun here last night. Drinks are good but some are extremely sweet so you can't have too many. First time going back since they reopened. I'll definitely be going back again. The waitresses Isabelle and Steph were very friendly. read more

Candi Bar - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

After stuffing ourselves at Au Pied de Cochon, our group made our way towards Candi Bar, mainly on the strength that we were interested in trying out drinks that apparently tasted like candy. Although there was a bouncer there by 11 PM, we were able to get in without much trouble (and perhaps because we had the right gender balance, if Montreal cares about that kind of things). It was also perfect timing, because the tables were all occupied at that time, and it definitely started getting more crowded at that point in time (the tables are also all reserved after midnight). I'm a huge fan of the decor - the artwork is very unique but also really well-done; the lights are kept low, and the low ceilings give it a very intimate feeling. The music is also very solid - from what I recall, mostly American music that's probably from the last decade. That said, the main theme of the club was disappointing. The gummy bear drink had virtually no alcohol in it and was more liable to give you massive brain freeze if you drank out of the straw too quickly. The ladies at the table had another drink (the name of which I forget) that had the same Gatorade blue color and had slightly more alcohol in it. For the price (which I think came out to around $12/drink), it's simply way too expensive for something that is marginally alcoholic, at best. Even as a sugary pop drink, it's not that good. In short - great concept, nice atmosphere, but really crummy drinks. If you want to come here just to chill, you'll have a good time, but I'd recommend a real cocktail if they make any, or beer, if you're looking for a beverage at this spot. read more

While traveling for business in Montreal, I had the pleasure of visiting Candi Bar, which is about as far from a business meeting as one could imagine. It's noisy, it smells like sugar and the strobe lights are as hangover-inducing as a schizophrenic rave party from the 90s. It would be perfect for a girl's night out, although there were plenty of guys there as well (hoping to find a little "Candi" of their own, I suppose?), just don't come here expecting to have a solid one-on-one conversation, as you will wake up realizing your voice has been left somewhere along the famed Mont Royale, no doubt covered in the sticky goodness that you slurped down last night. I ordered the "Sushi" which came with chopsticks and gummy fish floating throughout, all in a lychee slushie. Really, I wish I had one right now. I also wish I had a chandelier like they have in their bathroom, and a bar made out of pastel-colored Lego blocks in my kitchen, but you can't always get what you want. Unless what you want is a good time and an alcoholic slushie, in that case, head right over to Candi Bar and tell them I said what's up. read more

Can't say I'd ever be tempted to go back - I went once just for the novelty, because the décor is fun (I love En Masse's graffiti mural work and the big lego block bar is certainly original), plus the concept was initially interesting, but as one other reviewer wrote, "It gets old REAL fast." I have to wholeheartedly agree. I didn't go for any slushie drinks because I'm too old for that crap (anybody over 18 is), so just sat and sipped a whiskey atop a stool with life-sized fishnet and high heeled legs (tacky, in my opinion). The experience was honestly quite flat. I finished my whiskey and left. There seemed to be a clutch of tittering young women in hairspray that were very familiar with the place and its bartenders, so I assume they frequent it. Not my crowd, friends, just not my crowd. Still, it is almost worth going in to experience JUST once. read more

Candi Bar has always been on my list of bars to go to when I'm in Montreal. Luckily for me, I had the chance to stop by on Saturday since I was in the city for Osheaga. I left Osheaga a little earlier to beat the rush of people getting on the Metro and arrived at Candi Bar around 10:30 PM. There was a guy outside who checked our IDs. My sister and I were both under 21 so we didn't know if we would get in since I read that it's a 21+ bar? Nevertheless, we got in no problem since he didn't even know where the DOB was on the ID!! The night was still young so there were free tables. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. My sister and I ordered 2 drinks each: 1 from the lollipop menu and 1 from the regular one. The slushy drinks gave us massive brain freeze when we drank too fast, but the candy that came with each drink compensated for it. I love candy so naturally, I loved the drinks. Oh, and the drinks all come with 2.5 shots each. Despite all the sugar, you can still taste the alcohol so you knew you were getting what you paid for. The decor was rad and they also played fun, dance music. If the drinks weren't ~$12 a piece, I would have stayed the entire night. read more

A Sugar rush for grown ups. The drinks come with fancy names, same are good, some aren't. Use your judgement and know what booze goes wells when mixed. CandiBar is really small, and it will get to you after half an hour. So don't stay too long. You will get a headache read more

What to say about the Candi Bar... It's small, it's loud, the ceilings are quite low, and this becomes painfully obvious once they start with the artificial smoke. There's nowhere to hide. How can you avoid it when you're dealing with 9 foot ceilings? On the positive side the music was ok. They had some very different drinks that girls appear to enjoy, and the mega blocks ceiling over the bar mesmerized me for most on the evening. Don't get there too late because it gets full and a St-Laurent'ish line forms in front. read more

The decoration was beautiful! It's a very unique and stylish bar! They give you candy with the drink of your choice so that's pretty cool. The bartenders were super nice! There was even this one older guy, brown skin, he really looked like he enjoyed his job, which really made my friend and I happy. He was singing, dancing and interacting with the people there. When my friend and I went to the bar there weren't that many people but we arrived pretty early and left an hour and a half later to go somewhere else. When passing by on our way home there were people waiting outside, so it's safe to say it got packed later on. Anyway, we had a great time, highly recommended! read more

Well this was our last stop during our Montreal bachelorette weekend and unfortunately it didn't end on a positive note. It ending with our friend in a wheel chair in tears. We were a group of 12 ladies from Toronto looking for a unique environment to spend the night and dance. Our experience started off great here. We got there around 11pm which is a little early for the Montreal night scene. The drinks were tasty and very unique. And we all spend a ton of money at the bar. First bad experience, one of the bar tenders was very rude, was busy talking to a coworker the whole time instead of taking our orders. We had been paying for our drinks one at a time instead of making a tab. This meant that we were tipping generously every single drink. We bought a round of shots and didn't pay tip on that bill only. The bar tender got upset and said "tip is 15% but whatever" and walked away. So now to the point of my review! Our friend is in a wheel chair and we were all dancing when the place started to get packed. The bouncer came up to one of us and said we would have to leave because we were not on the guest list. This was upsetting because we were there for a few hours and wanted to stay. We asked to speak to the manager and he said we could stay but we have to put our friend in the wheel chair "off to the side". This was extremely offensive and not ok with us because we would never exclude our friend. This obviously fired up our group and angered a lot of us. The manager didn't care or try to be sympathetic. We left which was heartbreaking for our friend and she started to cry. This ended our night out. I would never recommend a business that discriminates against the handicap or any type of person that does not fit their "scene". A human right case will be made against this business and they should be very embarrassed for their actions. read more

Other than diabetics or those prone to cavities, everyone should try this place at least once. For the amount of alcohol per drink, the prices are very reasonable. I've had a lot of fun here, though it's not really somewhere I like to stay all night (there are only so many of those syrupy drinks that you can handle, and this isn't really a place you come to just order a beer). Definitely a good choice for a fun stop on a girls' night out. read more

Wow what cool decor! There are stools shaped like sexy -lady legs and gumball machines on the tables. The bar is made of lego! The waiter was kind enough to tell us the drinks were "sugary". This is very true. And they come with extra candy as a garnish. For instance I ordered a "tarzan" and it came with marshmallow bananas. When I finished it, I felt like I was going to puke, but also like a kid at a birthday party. My advice would be to go here and order something not on the lollipop shaped menu. Maybe a nice beer? read more

Candi Bar - Lounges Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I haven't been here in about 3 and a half years but when I used to come, I loved this bar! One of the most unique bars I've ever seen. The decor is really awesome, as are the crazy sweet slushy drinks topped with candy. The music has always been good, and the service is fine for a bar. However, on the downside, it takes forever and a day to get in to this place because it's really small. It's also one of those places that you get tired of after the novelty of the fun drinks and ambiance wears off! read more

I'm 40 and I hate this place. I'm old enough to,remember what a Montreal barvshould be and this ain't it. What it IS, is a sign that the tacky, concept bars that have ruined St. Laurent street from Sherbrooke to Pins are creeping east. If,you like to watch spoiled kids dancing to bad pop music while plowing down table service bottles they're charging to mommy and daddy's credit cards this is the place for you! read more

From the minute you cross the threshold, Candi Bar on Mont-Royal is different because of its comfortable vibe and whimsical interior decor. From 11 PM on weekends this cozy little bar becomes a popular nightspot for young singles with flashy lights, blaring music, a waiting line out front and the bathrooms are a sardine fest. Once the bar is full, stools become a hot commodity. The pretty waitresses wear girly/ sexy short/ tight little uniforms that remind me a little of swiss girls in the alps (?) except it's black and they wear these with comfortable (flat) shoes/ boots. The bar appears to be constructed out of large legos. The barstools have deep burgundy/ purple, round velvet seats and the legs are in the shape of women's legs. From an online picture, the mens' urinals in the mens' room are in the shape of big, juicy red lips. Hmm..? In the front there are 2 or 3 tables where you can sit on a stool at little round, bistro height tables right in front of the large windows. These are open during the day on warm days and closed at night when they turn the venue into a night club. There are tables with velvet banquettes for larger groups towards the rear. It may be possible to reserve a table, but you would have to double check. There is no outdoor seating. If you have a sweet tooth and you love candy -- then you may really enjoy the drinks. However, they taste artificial and they're very sweet. Even though I often drink gatorade -- I suspect that's why I had a headache that wouldn't go away with painkiller for two days. The drink 'list' is shaped like a lollipop with little cartoon pictures. There are 10 themed drinks to choose from. Most of the drinks are vodka, though there is one tequila and one rum drink. The drinks are prepared as follows, first off you get a generous pour of the base alcohol into a tall cone shaped glass, this is topped off with artificially flavored and colored syrupy sweet slush that comes out of a spout from a large fountain drink type of clear dispenser/ container. All this is topped off with a fun candy decoration ranging from candy that crackles and pops when it's put into your drink, candy necklace wrapped around your glass, gummy bears, gummy worms...), based on whichever drink you ordered.

Cool concept bar. Great for hype. But in my humble opinion, the drinks were priced disproportionally to the amount of alcohol in it. Our drinks were all in sweets theme, which was really cool. But everyone who went did not feel a thing even with a few drinks. Music was also not that good if you're there before 12 (before it turns into a club). Also, there's a $3 for coat check at around 10:30PM. Our waitress was really nice and helpful though. This is more of a one time thing for me. read more

A funky girly little discotheque with candy themed drinks. Came here on a Friday night as I believe you are supposed to; with a group of girls. The place was packed full of casually dressed 18-23 year olds getting their grove on to top 20 hits. We each ordered a different drink from their candy inspired menu and yes the rumors are true, the drinks are very sweet. Overall a fun cute little bar perfect for a casual girls night out. read more
