Candi Bar

How original! And I’m talking about everything: the décor, the drinks, the bar stools, the bathrooms, and oh my God, the music! Lol we had soooo much fun! Not the kind of music I would regularly listen to, some kind of a disco/​retro/​techno mix was playing that night, but it was so awesome, different, fun and refreshing, and so were the drinks! 2 thumbs up

J’y suis allée avec mes amies dimanche dernier. On est arrivé à 22h30, pas grand monde, 2,3 tables de prises. La carte des drinks est vraiment original et chaque boisson a sa petite décoration avec des bonbons :) Le son. bof. mais on a passé une bonne soirée tout de même. J’ai pris le cocktail Gino j’ai adoré. Et on a continué la soirée après. Le DJ a passé de tout, c’était agréable

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.

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.

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!

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 décor 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!

Candi Bar has always been on my list of bars to go to when I’m in Montréal. 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 décor was rad and they also played fun, dance music. If the drinks weren’t ~$ 12 a piece, I would have stayed the entire night.

Des slush acloolisées, servis sur un bar en légo. Des machines à bonbons sur les tables entourés de drôles de petits tabourets… même les salle de bains valent le coup d’œil, la brillante idée des cabines doubles du côté des filles et les fameux urinoirs en bouches. Le service est super amical et les proprios vraiment sympathiques. Je vous conseils fortement cet endroit magique!

How to feel too old in less than 10 seconds? Bienvenue au Candi Bar.
Le décor est beau, mais avec l’éclairage coloré ça fait vraiment vieille ruelle crade. Le bar en légo est malade ! Les bancs-​jambes sont drôles, surtout lorsque tu regarde un gars de dos, on dirait qu’il a des grandes cannes de pin-​up. La carte des drinks offre une sélection de slush + alcool avec des noms funky pis des ti-​bonbons partout. (candi bar c’est pas pour rien, huhu). Mon goût pour les cocktails a évolué avec les années et honnêtement, c’était pas SI BON que ça, c’était juste plain sucré avec un soupçon d’aspartame. Mon highlight de la soirée a été le cute serveur français qui a tenté maladroitement de m’expliquer comment manger mes power poppers (bonbons qui éclatent dans la bouche) et que je me suis indignée parce que, oh well, je sais c’est quoi j’en achetais a 0,5 $ au dépanneur quand j’avais 6 ans. Rajoutez une couple de filles en jupe trop courte au couleur fluo et vous voila dans l’univers barbie-​trash du candi bar.
A la prochaine (not).

A funky girly little discothèque 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.

Very nice bar with fun design. It’s very amazing. There are very good cocktail with original name.

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 Montréal 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 décor — 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.

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!

Friendly staff and a trippy décor, 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.

One of the worst dj ever: same music twice, cut songs and strange version of known tunes ! Decoration of the place was really funky ! Try their cocktails with sloche/​alcohol !

PROS:
1. The drinks are colorful, very sweet, and just fun! I had a ring pop drink and a cotton candy one which were both yummy and great to take pics of. You can’t really taste the alcohol (which I prefer) because they’re so sweet.
2. The bar itself was more like a club when I went on a Saturday night. The DJ played top40/​hip hop/R&B. A really good mix. The crowd was pretty young like early 20s.
3. The bar itself has a cool interior with lego pieces in the bar, fun barstools, and pink lighting.
4. No cover!
CONS:
1. Not a great place to take a boyfriend who prefers beer and hard drinks. LOL
2. It was a bit over crowded, I couldn’t manage to find the bathroom (but I’m an alcohol lightweight so maybe that’s why)!
3. The special drinks are pricey but they come with little frills which I think make it worth the splurge.
OVERALL:
–A fun place to go for a girl’s night out.
–I just asked the bartender to make me whatever and I got delicious drinks! Worth going and seeing what they come up with :)
–Repeat: not a great place to take your guy: p I learned from experience.

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 décor 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.

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.

This place is really original and has crazy funky décor, 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.

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

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 décor, 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!

Wow what cool décor! 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?

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 décor 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.
