I love this place. Went to Quebec city with another couple and my friend and I found it just hearing the music. Went back the next day with our wives. I go to Quebec every year or two and we always make it a point to go here. Drinks are good, but not the biggest draw here, it's the music. Best when packed because it gives you a reason to go upstairs and watch from above. You can sit right over the band.

This Jazz bar is a very special place! There is no other place like this in Canada. I felt nothing but love and camaraderie and felt like I was part of the family. Sure alcohol is great but this is not the point of this establishment. I follow vibes and what an amazing vibe I found. The live music was incredible! I met many amazing and talented people at this bar. I have travelled all over Canada in the last month across 10 cities from Toronto to Haliflax and everything in between and around 9,000 kms of driving and by far the best time I have had was at this bar! I would like to personally thank Maxime and David for showing me the time of my life!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I shall not forget you, and will make a point of visiting you once again!!! All the best and much love!!!!

A very small cozy bar. Has many cocktails and excellent service. Jazz on the weekends for a small cover. Go earlier to get seats as they are extremely limited. Additional seating is upstairs, however you can’t see the band. There’s an opening in the floor so the music can go up.

Hidden gem. Intimate, tiny, friendly. Incredible jazz… and great to see Gen Z reveling in it. A can’t miss visit in Vieux-Quebec

Love this place. Small, intimate, and the Jazz trio was amazing. The bartender was lovely and made excellent cocktails. I would go here on every visit to Quebec. There was a small cover charge that was well worth it.

Simply the best place in Quebec City! I cannot recommend highly enough! The bar opened around 8:30pm and the Jazz jam started at 9pm on Tuesday. I loved it! Extremely friendly environment and as in any jam random people started showing up and asking to play. It was so much fun, the music quality was also great! They have tables at the back and also upstairs, don’t be shy, come in! I saw people even sitting on the floor! The stairs are also an option!

Nice cute jazz bar. Worth a visit for the music. Drinks are just k this the four stars.

Outstanding little jazz venue, with fun and talented musicians and great cocktails and outstanding service. It's "intimate," meaning packed in tighter than sardines, and that's fine--it's a whole vibe, and part of the absolutely exquisite experience!

We used to come here every year for my birthday (March-if we don’t go there anymore is because of the pandemic, but definitely looking forward to going there again!). We’ve always had an amazing time. Music is of great quality and the ambiance is nice! Yes it is a small place, but that is part of its charm. Drinks are affordable and people are nice! Ultimately, it depends on the type of night you’re looking for, but in my opinion it is a must-go while in Quebec City! Enjoy :)

Lovely hidden gem, although you must arrive early as it gets packed before the show quite quickly (it was full at 8.15pm). Enjoyed the fun jazz and lovely conservations with other bar-goers. Prices are very reasonable too. Loved the atmosphere, would 100% return.

Dark and cozy Jazz bar where the owner both serves drinks and plays the guitar. Two floors, with ground level close to the music action and the second level good for chillin with friends. Drinks are quick, strong, and reasonably priced. Great way to rest and cap off an evening to live music and good convo!

Amazing jazz bar!! Super cozy! Opens late (8pm) - best to get there before 9 if you want a seat. Stays open late. Cool, local music. Great drinks - large cocktail menu (recommend extra dirty martini! Cocktail olives were awesome). Bartender is incredible! Really knows how to make drinks right, and is a very hard worker. There is no food (they allow you to bring in your own snacks. We brought Mary's popcorn). We recommend sitting at the bar, since they are slightly short staffed for more attentive service. Our favorite experience in Quebec city!

Very atmospheric and cozy, live jazz. I love this place and will come here every time I visit Quebec city

A must-visit for music lovers in Quebec. It’s an intimate setting with great live music and friendly staff.

Top notch service, great music, perfect cocktails!! Main area where musicians play is very small ...get there early!! An upstairs but you want to be where the music is and it was great!!

Small,European style after-hours bar with selection of cocktails and live jazz music

Great place for some jazz, variety of bands. Service somewhat spotty, sometimes quick and courteous, sometimes right down impossible to get a drink... speaking of, the menu has a reasonable amount of cocktail choices, not so much for beers (sorry, didn't check wines). Think seriously about making a reservation beforehand if you wish to "have a view" to the band playing, as after 9 the first floor usually becomes crowded. The second floor though seems to always have some place available... Anyway, for all of you "live music" lovers out there, it's worth!

Incredible atmosphere here. It’s small and intimate and so much fun. The service was a bit slow but it didn’t matter as you’re treated to amazing live jazz in historic Old Quebec. A very memorable night. We tried to get in on the first night but it was full but the second night we learned there’s a cozy upstairs that sort of looks down on the band.

Super fun cozy jazz bar in Old Quebec. So glad we found this place. They have live jazz music every weekend stating at 9pm-3am. The place gets packed around quarter to. The musicians we saw perform were amazing. And the drinks were extremely well priced and tasty. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend jazz night where people rock up to play with the band. Such a cool and unique vibe. Loved seeing what random instrument was going to rock up!

If you love — or even just like — jazz, this should be on your list to visit in the heart of Quebec’s Old City. We somehow missed it on previous visits, and so it came as a welcome surprise during Winter Carnival 2024. The decor and cozy atmosphere create a classic, yet laid-back vibe. Bob, the owner, is super-friendly and an accomplished guitarist himself. There is a modest cover charge when visiting bands are in the house, and drink prices are very reasonable (no food is served). We visited on a slow Monday with no cover charge when Bob and local musicians played, and again on a busier mid-week evening with a visiting band. Doors opened at 8pm, and the music, which was excellent on both nights, began at 9pm. As other reviewers have noted, the bar attracts tourists and locals alike, and it is easy to make friends with fellow jazz enthusiasts. If you have trouble finding seats or want to talk, head upstairs, though the view of the band is much more limited. We will be back!

Before covid it was THE place to go for live jazz band experience, staff is very cool too !

Small place so if gets packed. I came about 30 mins before jazz started and got a seat bar seat easily. Highlight of my Quebec City trip! Great music and people

Great waitress, live music, and gem within Old Québec! Surprisingly, wasn't too busy considering how good the drinks, service, and music was! Will be back!

Wonderful atmosphere. I suggest being here good time before performance is about to start to get a good seat, it’s rather small but that only contributes to the experience.

Absolutely spectacular. A hidden gem! Phenomenal jazz music, great drinks and a wonderful community. Our favorite stop on our trip to Quebec City! Show starts at 9pm and the places fills quickly. Get there early for a great spot.

I met the most amazing girl here. What a night lol I want it back. Great music and great vibes. There was a cat that was very friendly in the bar too.

Incredible Sunday night jazz by Le Collectif.

Great place for a lively night of jazz. Great beer, Friendly staff and the music was off the charts good with talented musicians doing their thing!! Looking forward to coming back on my next business trip.

When we first arrived, the guitarist from the band greeted my friend and I and found us seats in the jam packed room before they began their second set. We enjoyed the band's final two sets. (alto sax, electric piano, double bass, guitar, drums) We wanted to experience quality, not contrived jazz from the locals and boy, we got it! The band is the best live jazz I've heard in a long time. Phenomenal -- Bravo! Also, I loved the energy buzzing in the room from the engaged patrons and our sweet bar maiden was like a woodland pixie. She handled that room effortlessly single handedly. I've experienced venues with far less patrons within where the multiple staff can't keep up, yet there she was doing a fantastic job, like it's second nature to her! This place has a definite magic to it...

Fine place, Not the best drinks not the best service Jazz music these is very beautiful

One of the highlights during our recent visit to Quebec was the incredible vibe and energy of the jam sessions here in this quaint and cozy bar. Thanks to Bob and all the musicians, staff and patrons - an absolutely fantastic, top quality jazz community! Magnifique!!! Merci!!!

This was a great off-the-beaten-tourist-track jazz bar. We went for the live jazz, and were not disappointed by some classic and experimental music. They have excellent beer and cider, and make classic cocktails. No food is available, but it appeared that people brought in outside food. Wish we still had a venue like this in Calgary!

Small, intimate, goes till late and events 6 days a week (no Monday). Bob has really done a wonderful job here.

This was the best bar I visited while in Quebec. Awesome vibe, great music.. would def recommend!

Great cozy jazz bar. I made sure to go before 9 to get a seat to watch the performance because it does get crowded later! The band was super passionate and made the atmosphere amazing and got everyone nodding their heads throughout the night.

This review should ideally be about the cocktails ("deliciously potent"), the ambience ("intimate and cosy") or the music ("the best place in Quebec for live jazz") but can I take a moment to acknowledge and tip my hat to the people behind it? They have been a part of the place for years, some as much as twenty, and make it the institution that it is today. What a unit! And what a show you put on! Merci beaucoup : )

The place is small but has a good vibe. The featured local musicians played lovely jazz music. Service was a little slow as there was only one person tending bar.

Incredible hidden jazz bar. I don't often write reviews, but this is worth sharing.
