Live music daily — Great! I was surprised to find a New Orleans-inspired blues joint in the heart of downtown Montréal. The place has a true «pub» feel — it’s a hangout type of place. The beer selection is adequate but I was disappointed there wasn’t much for IPAs on tap. They do have a full bar selection for cocktails.
Bring a couple of friends (not a huge group because it is rather small) and chill to the music.

Bonne ambiance, bonne musique (live souvent), mais un peu forte je trouve
Service OK
Cependant, c’est un incontournable du quartier latin!

The drum beat and tight bass attracted my attention from far away while strolling around the Quartier latin. 10 $ to get in… great cold beer ! Worthy place for Blues lovers. A trio was performing to my delight. Cozy atmosphere. .and driiink awaayy!!!
Anyone knows the name of the group playing Friday night Sept. 11 ?
Great band. Wow

We were in Montréal for one night and in need of some good live music. It was a Tuesday night and we didn’t think it was going to be possible until we stumbled upon this place! The music was great and we got to hang with the band during their short break. The drinks were reasonably priced and the acoustics were good. We were very happy with Bistro a Jojo.

Awful. Music was not blues but bad garage band rock. Doesn’t start until 10.30pm even on weeknights which is not necessarily bad but strange. Most clubs are on their 2^nd or 3^rd set by then. I was put off by the nickel and diming. They make you check your coat and charge $ 2 for it. Meanwhile, we saw several people who hadn’t checked their coats. We were told at the door that we could put our cover on the tab and pay w/credit card. After we got some beers at the bar and sat at a table, the waitress said she has to collect the cover in cash. I explained we were told differently at the door. Didn’t matter, we had to pay in cash. We had no more Canadian cash and didn’t want to exchange for more just to pay a cover. And they are the only place in Montréal that I went that week that didn’t take US dollars. We finished our beer over the first and only «song» we heard, and left. $ 8 for a tap beer BTW is a bit expensive. Felt like we were being fleeced from the moment we walked in.

Worth visiting… we saw a guitarist who was competent… and a female singer who was entertaining… wouldn’t call it a hardcore blues club… but entertainment is entertainment… no food… but drinks are good…

Was there on thursday with a friend it is a small lovely place. Band and music (blues/rock) were great service is good prices are good. Bad things are that they do not have many beer choices (mostly brown which I don’t like) and bodyguard have some problems with English speakers. But will go there again.

Awesome Blues/Rock bar in the Latin Quarter. Hit it three times while there. The 2 piece band played rock and mixed it with some French music by Les Colocs. Nice change of pace. Cold local beer. Montréal would has good local beer! And not Molson, but Boreal and others.

Bar particulièrement sympathique si vous aimez le blues.
Des concerts tous les soirs.
La décoration est particulièrement sympa, avec une petite scèné, un piano, ainsi que des vitrines sur les murs avec des guitares électriques. S’ouvre complètement sur la rue, ce qui fait que le trottoir se transforme en terrasse.
Bön accueil et très bonne ambiance.

Cet immortel bistro situé sur la rue Saint-Denis est surnommé le «Temple du Blues montréalais «. Effectivement, chaque soir est l’hôte d’un spectacle musical, généralement possédé d’un blues contagieux. Il va sans dire que le Bistro à Jojo attire même l’attention de l’extérieur (le soir) en raison de sa cacophonie permanente, et il est fort probable que vous le découvriez ainsi. Des musiciens reconnus mondialement (dont des Québécois) y sont passés, et certains y passent toujours. Parmi les apparitions remarquées, pour né citer que celles-ci, notons Éric Lapointe, Marjo, Guy Bélanger, Laurence Jalbert, Daniel Boucher, Gerry Boulet, Bob Walsh, Bob Harrisson, Steve Hill, Carl Tremblay, Jim Zeller, B. B King, etc.
Inutile d’essayer de communiquer tranquillement autour d’un verre de vin. Ici, dans cette boîte à musique encore givrée dans le décor des premiers temps, la bière coule à flot et une fête n’attend pas l’autre…jusqu’aux petites heures du matin…
Peut devenir déplaisant à force de côtoyer un public éméché…

We came here to chill out after a big brunch in the late afternoons and even though the place wasn’t rocking yet, you know the atmosphere was going to get a lot better once the night time comes and the live band starts rocking some classic blues and rock & roll.
The place is really nice with open front, pitchers are reasonably priced and location is really convenient. It’s definitely clean and just classy and nice place to hang out with the guys or take a hot chick to chill with. We stayed here for a few hours before we left and definitely one of the better bars we visited of all the places we went in Montréal. Definitely worth a visit.

Spent my last night of Montréal holiday here and loved it! The band, Unkle Groove was amazing, bluesy rock. Good service. very cozy atmosphere, great for blues. I was expecting to hear straight blues music from the name and it definitely was more on the rock side, but since i like that, i wasn’t upset.
