FAQ
Discover the most frequently asked questions about renting our private event space in Montreal.
Can I bring a child even though the age requirement is 18+?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. As a licensed restaurant and bar, Quebec regulations require all guests to be 18 years or older. Babies, toddlers, and children are not permitted in the private event space.
Is there a minimum rental duration for the venue?
Yes, the minimum rental period is 5 hours. Even if your event lasts only 3 or 4 hours, the rate remains the same. This policy ensures proper use of the private venue and the services included.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
No, outside alcohol is not permitted. In accordance with our licenses and Quebec law, all alcoholic beverages must be provided by our establishment.
Is the menu for the private room the same as the restaurant?
Some dishes overlap, but our private event space offers exclusive catering-style options such as cheese and charcuterie platters, smoked salmon canapés, Tomahawk platters, and more. This allows us to create a distinctive food experience for your guests.
Can I visit the space before booking?
Yes, visits are possible early in the evening on days when no event is scheduled in the room. Please contact us in advance at bookings@barpamplemousse.com to arrange an appointment.
Can I bring my own DJ?
Absolutely. DJs are welcome to use our professional DJ equipment or bring their own, with the exception of speakers.
Do you provide tables for a seated dinner?
No, tables and chairs must be rented externally for sit-down dinners.
Is security staff required for large groups?
Yes, security agents are required if your event goes late into the night (until 1–2–3 a.m.), if you are hosting a DJ party, or if you have more than 75 guests. Additional fees apply. Contact us for details.
How many people can the venue accommodate?
We recommend up to 150 guests for corporate events (or up to 125 with full food service) and up to 180 guests for late-night dance parties.
Is staff included for service and the bar?
Yes, the required staff is included in the base rental. Our team will ensure your private event runs smoothly, from service to bar management.
Can I order food on-site during the event?

Do you offer audiovisual equipment rentals?
No, we do not provide AV equipment rentals for the private room.
How far in advance should I book the space?
We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance. However, earlier reservations are always best to ensure availability and to help us plan every detail of your turnkey private event.
How do I book the private event space?
To book, please contact us to review all the necessary details. Once confirmed, we will send you a contract and invoice. Payment is required to secure your booking, and the reservation is official upon receipt of payment.
