Passed by during a bachelor's weekend in Montreal. It was walking distance from our dinner venue at Henri Brasserie. Lots of small tables, dimly lit and busy with a live DJ on a Saturday night. Crowd seemed mostly in the late 20-30s. Live DJ was playing a lot of throwback 80-90s music, which I liked. Only stayed for one drink which was good. A gin based drink called #1. Service was friendly and I would go back for the good vibes and music. read more

The music was awesome. The drinks were delicious. I went on a Saturday night and it was packed. It's lowkey a pretty damn good spot.

First 5 à 7 after two years pandemic. Colleagues and I came to this very crowded restaurant for a Tuesday night. First and second round of tequila shots are pretty quick For the food, the starter chicken popcorn is delicious. I'd give 5 stars if the table can be better. Always dislike the small round table for group. Small space to put all the drinks and food. read more

I have been to this place five times es or even more, and I still can't get over it. It has to be one of my favorite bars in town. I love the intimate vibe and good music on weekends. The crowd is mainly young professionals but nothing crazy. I had never tried the food before but I must say, it just as awesome as their drinks. read more

Nice bar. Was lively but not too crowded. Not a huge selection of stuff but what I tried was nice. I like the vibe quite a bit. Definitely worth going again and again. read more

Managed to check this place out properly with the darling Helen and her mustachioed man. Arriving at 4:45 I had my pick of seating and chose a comfy bench tucked behind the bar. Service was friendly, not rushed but not at all slow, French but comfortably bilingual. With several affordable and tasty wine options by the glass, and super delicious fresh tartare, attractive lighting and lovely, deceptive use of mirrors and levels this space achieves the romantic out-of-time feeling I love most in bars. After 5:30 the vibe was decidedly after-work and the crowd older than I'm used to up in the mile end. We joked that these folks were trying to pick up and close deals and unearth state secrets all in one 5a7. Pretty enjoyable for what it is, I'd come back again when I am in the area before 5pm, or with a reservation, or when the initial buzz dies down making this joint less oh so uber trendsky. I am definitely happy to have Furco here though, it's part of a happy uptick in tasty non-skeez downtown night life and a great use of space in the too-long sketchy and mostly empty old fur district. read more

hello, I went to dine there Saturday night, had some beef tar tar and some cold cuts with some drinks with a large group. I had not eaten anything prior to this and the next day which is this past Sunday, I started puking violently, full sick for 3 full days and ended up in the hospital due to food poisoning and possible ecoli! I am still recovering. Absolutely disgusted by this place read more

Nice place with good music. Not a lot of cocktail options. Took the #5: Pimm's, gin, lemon, grapefruit. It can get a bit too crowded so it's better to reserve in advance. read more

Furco - Wine Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

With the soap container were replaced with ketchup bottled, the bathrooms were quite nice. There are 3 bathrooms : men, women and both : ) If you get bored of washing your hands the conventional way, there is the giant water fountain to clean your hands that is reminiscent of a school time when everyone used to wash their hands together. The crowd was mid 20's to 30's, it was a good looking variety of men, mainly French men , lots of French friendly men, enthusiastic happy bunch of people. More men than women My friends told me the drinks were great and the price was reasonable. Maybe it was the youthful decor but this place reminded of the high school spirit without the awkwardness that I always felt being labelled as a nerd. Nerds are considered cool over here. A quick tip: get there before midnight or you will get caught in the line. read more

Furco - The coolest way to wash your hands :) - Wine Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

See all

I felt famous and anonymous all at the same time. The entrance was hidden behind a dumpster. The doorman was talking to himself in secret. All of these things are true. I met a group of friends here for drinks and dinner - and it was so packed and so loud that even though it took forever for my drink to come, I didn't dare venture to the bar to harass anyone because I easn't even sure I was cool enough to be there. No, kidding, I was cool! The food - I had raw oysters and my partner had an epic seafood chowder packed with tasty stuff. The prices were up there (about $25 for the chowder), but we seriously enjoyed ourselves. I'd splurge there again, for sure. I think I might go back on an off night next time, though - not because of the noise (it was very loud BUT they were playing great music all eve) - just simply to avoid choking on so much cologne/perfume while trying to eat, and, you know, breathe. The crowd was putting on all the chemical romance the last time I was in - gotta love a Montreal Friday night. read more

I have been to this place twice and come to realize that timing sways my decision from a two star to a four star. Late evenings, furco gets loud and you literally have to scream to be remotely audible. It's crowded then and you would very likely get terrible seats. However, during the early evenings this place is more relaxed. The music isn't blaring and you could have a good time with good service. Pilsner is my favorite there and they have a good choice of appetizers. I didn't think any of their cocktails were good. I would recommend this place if you can make it before 7pm. Also, they have the cutest chili plants outside read more

The atmosphere in this place is amazing, making it perfect for a date (it's kinda hard to find cute date spots sometimes!) The drinks are nice and the tables & decor are delightfully unique - it's all exposed piping, wood and concrete. It can run a little expensive, but the service is excellent and the cocktails are tasty enough to warrant the price. It can get a bit loud at night, especially as it's basically in the centre of a bunch of offices (including mine!) and most of the patrons are suited-up business types who seem to come here a lot. It's extra amazing in summer when the terrace comes out and you can sit in the shade of an old church! read more

Went to the Furco on a Tuesday evening with my co-workers for a networking get together, and it couldn't have been a better setting. The lightings were perfect, it gives the whole place a very cozy atmosphere. We had platters of charcuterie, cheese, smoked salmon rillettes, green salad, olives and walnuts. I've tried their #1 and #3 cocktails and everything tasted very good. The service was perfect, the waitress was very attentive. Definitely a great place for a 5@7! read more

Furco - Cocktail hour - Furco November 2016 - Wine Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The place has slow service for drinks if busy. I find the venue great and lots of seating. Although it has no dance floor which upset me a little. The drinks are very high for lower end liqueurs :( I did enjoy the Bombay cocktail that they had. I also loved the dj that was putting out great tunes. It's close by to the metro and downtown so transportation is nearby. read more

Maybe I'm getting old but I don't understand the appeal of this place. The doorman is an asshole. Tells me to wait in line even though I had people inside waiting for me. I later understood that the line up is for the $2 coat check. If he had said that I would have understood but he prefers to exercise his power and be a jerk about it. There are hardly any waiters. We were a dozen people there for 2 hours and we had to flag down the waitress countless times to ask for drinks. If we didn't do thisWe'd probably each only have 1 drink. The music is too loud!!! You have to scream in order for people to hear you. Impossible to have a conversation. Ordered a French fry and it was very good however. Like I said, I don't get the appeal, I'm never going back. read more

Is this a lawyer bar? It struck me as a lawyer bar. I intend no disrespect by asking the question. I'm a recovering lawyer. The vibe, clientele and setting struck me as a bar frequented by professional types (lawyers, business folks, etc.). Perhaps the floor-to-ceiling glass and smart bar had something to do with the feeling. Is this bar in the financial district? Business district? FUR district? There's a fur district? Really? Oh, Canada... Once I got a slight sense of my bearings, I got to the business of drinking... which is why I was here. The Yelp category may read 'wine bar' but my cocktail needs were quite well attended. Having gotten back on an Old Fashioned kick the night before, I decided to order one. There wasn't much of a twist to the prep, but the taste was familiar, the drink was strong and the experience was solid. Again, I came in expecting to be overrun with francophones giving me sideyes for my franglais. Nope. The bar staff was quite comfortably bilingual and everyone I encountered was quite nice. In fact, may I say, they were lovely. My friend ordered a Moscow Mule and was quite taken with her beverage. From my experience, I would say that the bar caters more to ladies. The bartenders were all guys and quite chatty with the female patrons... who were vying for their attention. I suppose guys could come here in search of the halo effect... but that's never a good look to/for anyone. Have some self-respect. Come here for a buttoned-up classic cocktail (or, glass of wine) in a respectable, grown-up setting. read more

I really don't know what all the hype is about with this place. Located in the old fur district, you wouldn't know Furco was there unless someone specifically told you. The space is OK, but not fantastic; it's too dim and pretty plain if you're talking decor. It also gets very loud, making conversation difficult unless you've got supersonic hearing. I haven't acquired that ability yet but I'm working on it. The best part of this space are the huge front windows that open up. I mean, it's OK but I've seen better spaces. I wasn't blown away by the service; after the waitress took our order, we never saw her again. A guy who could've been a waiter or a busboy (who knows?) did ask us if we wanted another round and we appreciated that. The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday and he seemed to be doing a lot of running around so I'll give him bonus points for keeping an eye on us. I ordered a vodka and ginger with lime. The drink was refreshing, not too sweet and the ginger gave it a little kick at the end. I think they used ginger beer as opposed to ginger ale. Price-wise, cocktails were $10.50 + tax. OK I guess, as it's more or less on par with other places. In terms of its patrons, I found Furco to be pretentious, and that's not really my thing. If you work in the area, stop by, but don't go out of your way. There are plenty of other places to drink at. read more

Great food, good wine and an upbeat atmosphere! What more could u ask for.... I enjoyed my time here on a weeknight and would recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal! read more

Furco. I'm a repeat offender. Been for drinks and dinner. Both were super good. When I'm in the area, this is the spot. The crowd varies depending on when you go. Always super busy. Date spot for sure. Actually it is loaded with couples but not in the cheesy way. Let's just say it is fun to people watch here. Service is good. Drinks are good. Casual cool vibe. read more

I think that my visit to Furco was tainted by it's own success. I headed there with a bunch of colleagues just before 5, hoping to beat the 5pm rush, and arrived to find a lineup. It moved quickly enough, but once we were inside we understood why there was a lineup . . . wall to wall people, everywhere! It felt like it was 10pm, not 5pm, it was such a happening spot! Which is great if that's the vibe you're going for, but for me at 5pm I just want to relax and have a few drinks, not feel strangers bums hitting my own bum, while yelling into the ears of my drinking buddies to be heard. The staff was a mixed bag, the bartenders seemed to love the energy, and were energetic and happy. One waitress in particular was really not feeling it, and was pushy to the point of nearly knocking people over. However all that being said, it was quite nice for such a packed and happening place. Ordering an old fashioned rewarded me with a smile from the bartender, and I was delighted to see it served with an orange peel curl. It was nice and strong as well. An interesting mix of people, some older, some younger, a lot of suits. It provided a lot of good people watching opportunities. The decor was hit and miss. I know a lot of people enjoy the industrial meets polished look, and I do too. But I found that the industrial part was a bit too unpolished for me. Insulation poking out from between the windows? Eeeeek. But the lights, the bar, the furniture, all top notch. The food looked (and smelled) really good. I would be interested to return on a less busy day to order a few dishes to share. read more

Went to Furco with my Happy Hour buddy on a Friday evening and we were pleasantly surprised to see how full this place was. Don't get me wrong, nothing like a Thursday night where you can barely walk in the place, but as opposed to other Fridays where we've been there in the past, the bars and all the tables were occupied. Cozy and relax atmosphere, always new finger food plates to share, and our barmaid (Sarah) always on the lookout for us. What else can we ask for!?! read more

Not bad, good place, a bit crowded but nice client base. Food is very acceptable but service could be a little bit faster... Edit... After a couple visits recently, service is better and I have to admit the food is getting better every time. read more

Lil hot spot with dance music and decent food. Hate mandatory coat check but decent people watching. Grey goose is the only vodka. Hehe, Canada. read more

LOKI ALERT! Went to Furco one night after failing to find my friends during Jazz Fest and ended up with something better. There was a bartender here who looked like the blond version of Tom Hiddleston. Now if he would only speak with a British accent, that would be perfect. My friends and I were too focused on comparing his facial features with pictures of Tom Hiddleston that we forgot to ask for his name. I was surprised this place was actually so busy at night, on a Sunday. Don't know if Montreal-ers are just hardcore drinkers or Furco was just really good. This place is tucked away in a quiet small street. and looked quite charming. I wanted a raspberry white chocolate cake but their kitchen was closed. I ended up ordering a cosmopolitan. I'm definitely coming back here again to try out their food and the cake that got away. For those of you who want to check out a celebrity look alike, you should probably check out Furco too! read more

Upscale place with a sophisticated vibe for 5@7 Thursday night 5@7 crowd was a lovely young professional crowd with plenty of handsome men in suits! Service was great - friendly, bilingual and very attentive bartenders who never let our wine glasses go unfilled. We had the charcuterie plate to share - a little on the pricy side and not great...go for the wine and the atmosphere not the charcuterie! read more

Managed to make it here for a 5a7. It was a good sign that on one of the relatively few recent nice days outside Furco was busy, since they don't have an outside, but people were still coming. The decor reminds me a lot of Philemon in Old Montreal with all the industrial looking walls, wood, etc. It does seem to be in a rather odd location, but maybe it revitalizes the area a bit. The crowd seemed to be friendly, not d-bag at all. At least for the 5a7 it was mostly an after work crowd, not sure if it changes once the sun sets. The drinks were reasonably priced, but I did not have a chance to sample the food. I definitely need to go back and try it at night to see the atmosphere. read more

I've been here a number of times at various times of day. For me it's a laid back mid-afternoon hang out place, a fun pre-evening starting point and a crowded & exciting night spot. I like Furco for its versatility and convenience. The food and drinks are great - not out of this world - but I go here to socialize more than to eat/drink. It's great to have a flexible gathering spot like this in Montreal. Since it is not in the main-drag areas of downtown, it contains more locals and people that seek it out as opposed to tourists stumbling upon it. Because if you don't know it exists and you don't know this city, trust me - you wont stumble upon Furco by accident. Will I be back again? Probably, I always am at some point. read more

Furco maintains a sophisticated, upscale mood thanks in part to its glass-laden interior and classy decor. It has some of the 'frozen in time' appeal of Bars Sans Nom (The Emerald) but with a slightly more modern interior. There's definitely something special about Furco that is hard to pinpoint. Service is neither fast nor slow. Staff are French but comfortably bilingual (and without any attitude). Furco is described as a wine bar and this is certainly where they shine. Their staff is consistently knowledgable with regards to their wine menu and can offer great suggestions. However, their bartenders are equally skilled and make very good, strong cocktails ($10+ but worth it). I can't comment on the food (who goes to Furco for fries?), but the ambience and experience is well worth the crowds. The only downside is, of course, the noise levels. This can make nuanced conversation a little bit difficult, but Furco is more suited to a classy night out than meeting with your lawyer/accountant to discuss a merger. read more

Very hip and trendy bar located in a seemingly deserted alleyway in Downtown Montreal. Great atmosphere, decent drinks and munchies. Been here a few times and music has been top notch each time. Definitely a go to bar in my book. (Gets pretty crowded quickly so head there a little earlier if you want a table) read more

I felt like I was in new york.. even the location its so wicked. The food wasnt so great but the wine was delicious. . But I loved the place better then the food. read more

Furco - Wine Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I just stopped by this place for the first time tonight. It was recommended by their neighbors at Café Parvis next door (where I had lunch!). Furco is a nice little joint in a still rustic sandblasted concrete ground floor of larger building. It has a beautiful serpentine bar that encourages strangers to sit next to one another and while they eat and drink. It has tables too, but the bar seems like the center, rather than the edge, of the action. I am currently on a no-alcohol bit, and that didn't stop the bartender form offering me an incredible cocktail of crushed cucumber and a kind of peppery homemade syrup that was absolutely delicious. Not on the menu, but order it if you're going alcohol-free. It's great. I had the tartare de boeuf (steak tartare) and it was extraordinary. At the center was a lovely mix of healthy veggies stacked into a rectangular form, and layered on top of a wonderful sauce, with the tartare in three piles at the edges. The requisite crusty bread was there too, and the gustatory delight was on. Delicious. The staff were very friendly and paid attention to this solitary guest. A very nice small meal at a very fair price. read more

The location and space are perfect. It also used to be one of the best and most reliably delicious wine bars with food in town, but recently seems to have declined a bit. On my last two visits in April, they were really overdoing it with the natural wine (at least by the glass). They should have some other styles available. More importantly, twice (for two different glasses of wine) the server never offered to have me a small taste. She simply trusted her instincts after asking me if I wanted a light bodied wine, then brought me full glasses, which I turned out not to like at all. She never came back (either time) to ask me what I thought. It was crowded as usual and I was meeting with an acquaintance so didn't feel like making a fuss, but I spent a lot of money without satisfaction. Same with the food. Oversauced and not as inspired in the past. read more

I can sum this place up very quickly. Crap, with over priced, watered down drinks. I've seen molasses drip quicker in the middle of winter than I was served at this wannabe bar. I joined my wife and two other friends for drinks. They had been there about 20 minutes when I arrived. I sat down and waited to place my drink order (theirs was almost finished). I then waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and...... I did watch the barman hit on a table of women, while I waived my hand frantically to get his attention. Even standing at the bar didn't seem to phase him to much. Then, when I thought he was going to come to the bar to serve me, he actually went to another table to talk to women. I went back to my table and was about to tell my party we should leave when finally someone came by. Apparently ordering a drink from them was them doing me a favor. The person didn't even ask if anyone else wanted refills. When I finally got my beer, about 5 minutes after ordering it, the rest of my table tried to order, but once again, it seemed like the waiter was doing us a favor. We finished our drinks and quickly left. Looking forward to seeing this place shut down. Absolutely worst experience in a bar in a long, long time. The tip reflected what I thought of the service. 1 cent was left. read more

I heard so many good things about this place and was so disappointed. The crowd was super lame; a buncha trust fund babies comparing their over the top designer purses and girls that tried to look like they fell out of a sex and the city episode. Line up was way too long (I waited 45 min in a fake VIP line lol). Plus there was really nothing special about the music. There are far better spots in the lovely Montreal. read more

Furco is located in the fur district tends to attract young professional types (at least at happy hour). It's got a very industrial feel to it and in summer they have a nice terrasse right on the street. Cocktails are around $11 but they are adequately strong so you get your money's worth. I was a fan of the Aperol spritz which is hard to come by here in Montreal. There was also a small food menu but we didn't try anything though it did look good judging by what people at other tables were ordering. I'd definitely be up for coming back here but maybe outside of happy hour to see what it's like then. read more

Overpriced and overhyped. Beer prices were ok but selection is not that great and some of the drinks are overpriced. The food is way overrated. 21$ for 4 raviolis thin as paper. Definitively not worth it. And the ravioli were cold. Chairs are not comfortable. It's loud and since it's a minimalist decor (ie the walls are down to the cement) there's no sound absorption making the place louder. Only good thing (and the reason for the 2 stars) is the sink to wash your hand at the bathroom. It reminds me of my high school days. read more

3 stars cuz it is not my dig but it is big and super beautiful and they basically have a barstaff of models (female and male) for the patrons (i.e., spectators) to google over for the duration of the night. I like a little dance with my drink which is why I am just A-OK and also this place is just getting PACKED these days. But again, it is so pretty! And everyone is so pretty there... maybe that is also my issue? I guess I would prefer it to be a bit grimier but to each his own! read more

A much needed classy joint in the old sometimes-sketchy fur district, Furco offers a warm atmosphere, good cocktails, nice wine list, and great place to meet new people. read more

Walked in late and the music was way too loud for a wine bar. It seemed like a nice location. I will have to try again on another night.

The look and feel also reminds me of Philémon bar in the Old Port. A lot of my friends were turned off as the music was much too loud. You have a mix of packs of businessmen making deals, packs of girls having a night out, and then a lot of eying up going on between the two. Trendy & boisterous...And if all of that is your ideal description, then Furco will provide a heck of a night. read more
