Monte's Showbar Grill in Dartmouth

Nice place for music showes and the food was decent. The nachos were really big

Great staff, such a comfy place to hang out, and a great mix of listening pleasure, between live venues and a great DJ.

Clean. Good atmosphere. Great drinks

Montes doesn’t believe in our freedoms and rights and laughs online at the suffering that Canadians have endured these last 2 years and when I called them out on it I was blocked!!!! So unprofessional and disgraceful!!! I will never support this business ever again and will encourage others to stay away as well. I will be spreading this message everywhere! Shame on you montes!!!

Awesome staff!! Keeps ya coming back!!🙂🙂

Its a great place to go dancing and listen to the band. Great DJ music except its so loud we were getting feedback I our eats so we left. That was too bad

Great spot for a live show!

Great Spot for live entertainment and dancing. Sound and lighting is out of this world.

Amazing sound system, the music was crystal clear. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Had an enjoyable experience the band was great and my waitress was even better wish I would’ve got her name so I could shout her out

Good dive bar. Service was quite good. Video dj was cool. The live acts and events they have are amazing. Staff is friendly. Would reccomend.

The music the night we were there was wonderful. Great venue. However, it took way too long to get drinks and food... when we ordered, it was still early; not many people there. It appeared to be only a couple servers for the whole venue.

This place is a lot of fun. The burger was just ok, but the beer, music, company and community are great!

Loved the venue, great show and good food and beer. No complaints. Just want to do it again...

Received poor service. Of a group of 6, they forgot 2 meals until it was too late; than attempted to serve the 2 meals. Waitress was rude. When asked for the bill for 1 pop, she took in excess of 30 minutes so we left. Remained of the table got 1 free drink for our service. Will never go again to this establishment.

Not much to look at. Service was nice but slow, however just reopened from Covid and busy. Excellent music line ups. Highly recommended for that alone.

Very well organized with seating, service was great! Loved the music

Great wings, staff was on the ball. Respecting covid restrictions/protocols as well.

If I may address the concerns two patrons experienced while visiting this establishment. First of all, let me express my regret that you have been diagnosed with this medical condition in the first place. I would never want to embarrass either of you for simply having such a condition. Based on what I have read, there truly are some people with severe chronic breathing conditions, mental health conditions or folks with cognitive or developmental disabilities who can experience anxiety from wearing a mask. My heart goes out to you, truly it does. I can only imagine the grief youd experience visiting a nursing home, schools or a hospital, government offices or banks. Even your own workplace! That being said, I do appreciate the need to feel some sense of normalcy, like sitting down to a meal at a restaurant. Only seems natural to want to slip back into society and in a controlled, safe environment with social gatherings in these unprecedented times.That being said, i do feel for the business owner too. While the novascotia.ca website does not authorize nor permit businesses to ask patrons to provide proof of a medical condition exempting them from wearing masks, the business is within its right to refuse entry as they are allowed to set their own policies. I guess the way I personally see it, the optics would be bad for the majority of patrons visiting the establishment especially in the bar and restaurant sector. Everyone is having a different experience during this global pandemic and the business owners really need to appeal to the masses so that they can continue to operate. I think if certain friends of mine had witnessed someone walking in the door and through the bar without wearing a mask, they would up and leave and go out of their way to tell people to avoid that establishment. They wouldnt know that a medical condition exemption was being upheld. Personally, I dont believe anyone would want to draw unnecessary attention to themselves that they are victims of a medical condition by wearing or sporting some kind of flashy special exemption badge.So while my heart does go out to those who are clearly at higher risk by not being able to wear a face mask due to their condition, I dont believe we as society can condemn a small business owner for trying to protect their livelihood by simply following the rules set out by health and government officials for the majority so we are able to end this pandemic and get back to whatever our normal will be.

Extremely disappointed with the treatment of a guest who cannot wear a mask who has a medical exception. Absolutely will not return to this establishment.

Poor service. Refusing entry based on medical reasons for not being able to wear masks. First establishment I have encountered that took this stance. Asked in advance to avoid issue and they were less than accommodating.

My parent went twice to get the burger during Halifax burger week. The first time they weren’t able to get the burger because you didn’t have supplies. Understandable.The second time they went in and were seated and not served. My Dad went to the bar because he thought the waitress didn’t see them. She assured him she’d be right over. But that was a lie, as another group came in and she served them first and continued to ignore them. My parents decided to just leave and go somewhere else. Pretty sure this was blatant discrimination and therefore I stopped recommending and would not go back.

Great room for live music of all sorts and good prices for drinks too.Theres a VLT slots room.

Came for a Yay Makers Paint Nite event and couldnt believe the space! I definitely want to come back to a live music event. Staff was really friendly - and I definitely recommend the Irish Nachos!

DJ Randy is the best!! Always guaranteed a good time!!! Love that they keep the old school live bands going!!! All in all, a great place to have a great time!!!

I didnt go here. I went to the pub up the stairs. Coleens Pub. Good food and libations here. Great place to enjoy live music.

Changed name to Colleens Pub. BEST pub ever!!!!! Ordered fresh homemade french onion soup! Colleen used to be a waitress and when The Pour closed she up and bought a Pub! She knows everyone and interacts with everyone!

The place to go for great music.

Best venue for live music in Halifax

Kitchen closes early but youre there for the music!

Great place for show, inside concerts & share nice moments with friends. Maykel from Son Latino. Cheers!

Montes is one of the best spots for luve music around! Loads of seating, large stage for big bands, and a large dance floor space. Always love it here. Maximum Overdrive rocks!

Looking forward to seeing the renovation complete. The acoustic treatment and band mix position away from the back wall will be great. Razorboy rocks!

If you plan to wait until later in the evening to eat and stay for the entertainment, think twice. We arrived at 7:45 and were told the kitchen was closed. It was supposed to be open until 830. I can see this happening once but it has happened twice on the last 6 months. Keep the schedule that everyone is told !!!

Waited an hour for a terrible burger. They were out of fries, onion rings, and battered fish. Thought we may be the only ones who waited that long but asked another gentleman who was waiting for his bill, same story. Had to rush home and be sick immediately, not surprising as when I went to pay the smell from the kitchen and behind the bar was terrible, and my burger was slightly underdone but I was so hungry I figured it might not be that bad. Oh how wrong I was. If all you want to do is drink, this may be ok. If you want food, try your luck anywhere else.

I am a traveler. This is my first time in Halifax. I live in USA. I stopped by Tuesday for karaoke. Laurie The Guy is a very good DJ and has as much fun as everyone else. They have nice stage and sound is pretty darn good. Lot of great singers here. Locals are very friendly I am happy I stopped by. Ashley was great she was AWESOME. It was a steady night and she attended to bar and tables with no problem she is a professional. I look forward to my next trip to Halifax.

Had a lot of fun with the PaintNite class.

Service was absolutely fantastic but unfortunately the place was cold and I mean cold. Atmosphere was good and Feedback (band namerocked the joint!

Went here for paint night recently. The space was perfect for the activity and the bartender was attentive, however Ill never forget stopping in for lunch during burger week around 11am and being sent away because they werent serving lunch for another hour. They open at 10am... I could have gotten hard liquor at 11 am but no burger.It will always be a dive bar in my eyes for this reason.

Montes. A local bar that brings in good entertainment on the weekends. Food is ok (bar foodand drink prices are average. If your looking for a good place to watch live music though, this is your spot!

Food was great, local music awesome, friendly staff and patrons

Awesome food and one of the only places in Dartmouth that has live music

Montes will always be a comfortable place to be. Karaoke here was a fun experience. Our waitress was great, even said she hoped to see us back next week!

Good food great live music

Great people! Amazing bands! One of the best music sounds in HRM. Wing night is great.

I was very pleasantly surprised. I have lived in the neighborhood for years and never been there before. The place is way bigger than I thought ...not laid out great but its ok. The food is really good for bar food. Get the breaded wings! They are not too much breading and crispy, they were fantastic. The hamburger was good but a little dry....in fairness they were so busy Im not surprised. The place smells a little like a deepfryer though. The best thing about the place is the sound system. It rocks in there. I have not seen a live band in there yet but I will now! Not sure what the normal clientele is like I was only at 2 chase the ace events. Hopefully it will be ok. Ill let you know.

A bunch of people were smoking right on the step. The chef missed my order so I didnt get served with the table and when I did get the food it was cold.

This is a venue extrordinaire for live music. They have live bands several times a week on a large, well-equipped stage with a dedicated sound technician. The staff is friendly and efficient and they have a full menu of food and an expansive selection of beverages. Its a great place to party.

Excellent Vinnys for live music, biggest con is its location, quite a trek to get down there

Great Venue for Live music, social gatherings and lots of spaces for any type of party, Large Dance floor & Great staff
