Famous for its live African and Caribbean acts, it plays host to DJ's on off nights. Great vibes for those who enjoy this type of world-beat music.

(Translated) Atmosphere that could have been nice. But not had time to appreciate because little dishonesty of the barman, more or less courteous, who charged us more than what was announced on the bill. Attempted apologies but was not convincing by reimbursing us a part of the surplus collected. The scam was too blatant. Be carefull !! We touched two words on the boss who was (sincerely) surprised by this way of doing things, and who offered a commercial gesture. But we refused and preferred to go away. P.s: cocktails would benefit from improving and diversifying. Really. We were a small group. We left our respective glasses on two occasions. Pity. (Original) Ambiance qui aurait pu être sympathique. Mais pas eu le temps d'apprécier car petit coup de malhonnêteté du barman, à peu près courtois, qui nous a débité plus cher que ce annoncé sur la note.Tentative d'excuses mais n'a pas été convaincant en nous remboursant une partie du surplus encaissé. L'arnaque était trop flagrante. Be carefull !! Nous en avons touché 2 mots au boss qui fut (sincèrement) surpris de cette façon de faire, et qui a proposé un geste commercial. Mais nous avons refusé et préféré nous en aller. P.s : les cocktails gagneraient à s'améliorer et à se diversifier. Vraiment. Nous étions un petit groupe. Nous avons à 2 reprises laissé nos verres respectifs. Dommage.

(Translated) I give 5 stars for the owner's effort to keep the flame of world music in Montreal. Few live music broadcasters survive today. Long live the Balattou :-) (Original) Je donne 5 étoiles pour l'effort du proprio à tenir la flamme des musiques du monde à Montréal. Peu de diffuseur de musique live survivent de nos jours. Longue vie au Balattou :-)

A bit too small.

Went to a show there last night. Amazing music, good vibe venue, very intimate with good site-lines and acoustics through the room. Only downside was drinks were a little pricey for the quality, but whatever, you go for the music and ambience. Cool place.

(Translated) Never go there. I show up at the door around 2am. We do not sell a ticket with the consumption of a beer, after 10 minutes I go to the counter and I am told that there is no more beer at this time. While the other customers were buying beer in front of me. It is theft suddenly. I recommend it to everyone (Original) N'allez jamais là-bas. Je me présente à la porte vers 2h du matin. On ne vends un ticket avec consommation d'une bière, après 10mn je me rends au comptoir et on me dit qu'il n'y a plus de bière à cette heure là. Alors que les autres clients achetaient de la bière devant moi. C'est du vol tout coup. Je le déconseille à tout le monde

Mathyas G

It was shocking! Not as advertised. Money grab soon as you walk in, they say you get a drink with the $10 entrance fee but bartender still asked for 3.50 each and then demanded a tip. Me and my gf are 28 and we felt like we were the youngest people in the place. It was a packed Saturday night crowd but everyone was 40+ and creepy af. Bartender was rude! Good african music and decent guys at the door still.
