Review from Risa D.
Great live music venue, walking distance from the metro, St Laurent, Little Italy, Jean Talon Market - it can be a little tough to fill if you book it for your own event since it is a bit outside the Plateau / Mile End bubble but that's changing fast. Much of the booking happening at Il Motore is genius (not surprising since the space is owned by exceptional indie promoters Blue Skies Turn Black, and booking goes through the community-building champs at Casa del Popolo / Sala Rosa.) If you luck out you can see amaaaazing musicians play here to a cozy and appreciative crowd, and have drinks with them afterwards at the bar.

Review from Alexandra G.
1/19/2011
New to Montreal, I found a listing for a small Swedish indie pop band called "Little Dragon". I managed to convince my bf to venture there and we got of the De Castelnau metro in a quiet, snowy, deserted place (but this was a Tuesday night in January.) The show was $15 which I think it very reasonable. There was a coat check that unfortunately was FULL, so we had to hold our massive amounts of clothes the whole time. Il motore is a very small venue that would perhaps fit max 150 people (maybe less??). Anyway it seemed like the perfect intimate size for a indie band - and it was!. The crowd that night seemed to be in their 20 -30s and seemed pretty un-affected in general, more like a student crowd than a scene. Beers cost $5-6 and shots $4, although our first round was severely discounted for some reason yay :)
We got there at 10pm, with the place already packed and the opening act playing, and it was still going when we left at 12:30. Definitely want to go back, although I might have to do some research of their future acts as I have never heard of them.
