Looking to stage the perfect night, from an unforgettable dinner to letting loose on the dance floor? Montreal's got you covered, and Tomahawk Group venues make it easy to craft a seamless evening you'll want to repeat. Whether it's team outings, social gatherings, or just a spontaneous Friday night, here's your guide to the city's best hotspots for dinner and dancing.
10 Must-Try Montreal Venues for Dinner & Dancing
- Santos – Old Montréal
Start your night at Santos with vibrant Latin-inspired small plates, signature cocktails, and pulsing DJ sets. The lively transition from dinner to a packed dance floor draws both Montreal locals and visitors craving authenticity and energy. Pro tip: Book a booth for dinner, linger as the DJ gets started, and be ready for spontaneous salsa or reggaeton beats right in the heart of Old Montréal. - Negroni Room – Old Montréal
This cocktail lounge excels at setting the mood. Ease into the evening with craft Negronis and snacks, then shift naturally to dancing as the DJ spins stylish, upbeat sounds. The sleek décor and social crowd mean you'll be snapping photos for your feed all night. For groups, ask about their private lounge areas to kick things off with dinner before joining the action. - Mignon Vieux Montréal
Kick off with refined steakhouse-style dining or premium French cuisine in an elegant setting. Later in the evening, their chic ambiance often evolves into a more vibrant mood, especially on weekends, with live DJ music and curated cocktails. Perfect for a corporate dinner that transitions smoothly to an upscale night out—no need to switch venues! - Felix – Downtown
Felix merges contemporary fare with a stylish backdrop. Here, the kitchen shines early evening, while later hours see chic patrons flocking for crafted cocktails and rhythmic DJ sets. The crowd is as sophisticated as the menu, making Felix ideal for young professionals and social butterflies who love good food and movement. - Buvette Pastek – Old Montréal
Parisian wine vibes meet Montreal cool. Start with natural wines and elegant snacks—think charcuterie and seasonal plates. Don't expect a full-on club, but as the night unravels, you'll regularly catch informal DJ sets or pop-up events for a dose of Euro-inspired energy. It's the perfect prelude to a night of dancing elsewhere or a place to settle in with friends as music fills the room. - June Buvette – Neighbourhood Gem
Looking for something cozy and local? June Buvette's seasonal dishes and relaxed setting foster an inviting social vibe. Occasionally, their evenings feature DJs or live music, inviting guests to slide seamlessly from shared plates to shared beats. Stay tuned to their event calendar for rhythm-infused nights. - Taverne Grecque Máti – Old Montréal
Mediterranean flavours turn communal here, especially when DJs bring the room to life. Grab a tasting menu for the table, sip ouzo, and join the impromptu Greek dancing that's become a local favourite. Whether you're with coworkers or new friends, Máti is built for memorable group moments. - Sunday Cuisine & Café
For the crowd that starts healthy but wants to end their night on the dance floor, Sunday is a revelation. Perfect for a casual bite, smoothie, or wrap before heading out for a livelier venue. Sometimes you'll stumble on live DJ sets, so keep an eye on their programming for wellness-meets-nightlife fusions. - Mignon Petite Bourgogne
Upscale cuisine paired with refined ambiance makes this a dinner-first destination, but their curated evenings occasionally feature music and dancing. For those planning an intimate group night, inquire about their private dining and event transitions. - Balboa Pizza – Old Montréal
Launch into your night with wood-fired gourmet pizza in a modern, high-design setting. After dinner, the energy picks up—Balboa is tipped to host late-night events with music and dancing regularly. The aesthetic alone is a draw for food influencers and anyone wanting a photogenic crowd scene.
