Where To: Old Montreal’s Joverse #mtlnightlife
avril 17, 2014
Nearly a year ago, I had anticipated that
Joverse would be one of the hot, new places to look out for in Montreal. Aside
from the fact that I’m happy I’m usually right (don’t hate), I’m even happier this
resto-bar delivered on many levels.
If you head to Joverse on a Friday or
Saturday night, the giant rooster painted on the side of the building will
greet you, along with some of the nicest doormen I’ve ever encountered in
Montreal. A Montreal bar that places importance on customer service right at
the door by chatting and smiling – how novel and so very refreshing!

Inside, the brick walls and the
ever-popular industrial look certainly do justice to the Old Montreal location.
With long tables, booths, a big bar in the middle, Joverse is well equipped to
handle groups. It’s perfect if you’re looking to eat well, then mingle and
dance a little amid a crowd of good looking people in their mid-twenties to
early thirties. Say it with me now: “yay for not feeling too old at a bar.”
During the last visit, we devoured some shrimp
and some brisket BBQ tacos. They were so flavorful, we made a mental note to
return for Joverse’s Taco Tuesdays Ritual and to try everything else on the
appetizing menu as soon as possible. The music in the main room is a good mix
of mainstream hits and house mashups. If you’re looking for a more underground
vibe, head to Joverse’s “Red Room” just downstairs for some deep house and
sweaty dancing.
On Thursdays, one of my favorite nights of
the week for an outing, Joverse offers up a nice crowd of 5à7 diners. As the
evening rolls along and the music turns to some delicious, older R&B hits, many
other professionals start showing up for drinks. You’ll want to stay past your
bedtime and try some of their special cocktails. As if that wasn’t enough,
Joverse also hosts mixology competitions on Wednesdays. Hello mid-week date
ideas. You’re welcome, dear readers.
Go with a group on the weekend or even with
someone cute during the week; you’ll be treated to an amazing atmosphere, good
music, cocktails and food at Joverse. Like anywhere in Montreal, make
reservations if you’d like to eat, and if you’re on a liquid diet, show up
early to avoid lineups on the weekend.
