Dive bar at its best. Fun electro/dubstep beats. Yucky bathrooms. Cool kids. Weird people and starving hipsters. Amazing times!
You can find me by the bar twice a week. -

This place is where it's at! Gets crowded but the crowd is fun and they dance on the small dance floor in the back. The music is nostalgic from the 90s no joke they played "no scrubs" by TLC
The environment is relaxed, good to sit and talk. Beer not too cheap but not too expensive. And you can play duck hunt on an old Nintendo system.
Go if your looking to have fun in a good atmosphere. -

Bar Blue Dog is a must-stop when visiting Montreal. Anything goes, all of the time. It was not a special night and yet a man was standing on benches, dancing, wearing a zebra mask. A girl dressed straight out of the 50s. NBD.
Getting in is quick and the coat check girl was a sweetheart. You don't feel obligated to tip her (on a $1.50 charge per coat) but you WANT to and so you do. Inside was a really talented DJ that from my understanding people follow to whatever bar he plays at. Wish I got the name. While the space is medium-sized, it is packed to its gills which just invites more people to dance on the benches. I like.
The bartenders were speedy and the drinks were your standards. A server once got my drink order wrong but was SO nice when she realized her mistake. Not blasé, like one could think this place could be. She offered to bring another drink, which I declined (vodka cranberry to rum and coke, whateva), and gave a discount. Everybody wins!
And everybody won that Saturday night in Montreal. From dancing around, to sitting down, meeting new and interesting people- life is good at Blue Dog. -

This place is the epitome of a cool dive bar.
Most nights get busy at around midnight or one. Every night is fun here, from the free keg on Sunday to the free grilled cheese sandwiches on Thursday, or Karaoke on Wednesday.
The crowd is young and urban, but not pretentious. Usually, just a bunch of Montreal cool kids that want to get drunk and dance.
My favorite part, and the reason Blue Dog gets 5 stars, is that they have a really old Nintendo in the front that has Super Mario Bros. 3 in it for you to play. How awesome!
Getting drunk and playing Nintendo and then dancing your butt off, nothing can beat that!!!
ps. The bathrooms are scary, deal with it. -

I didn't like it because this isn't my type of place.
But I'm giving it three stars because a lot of people would like this place.
It is kind of grunge-y - has that laid back 'cool' vibe for people that are 'chill' and want to listen to decent music - which is played there.
The front is like a room with a bed and a sofa in the window. Kind of in blue light. I guess because it is called Blue Dog.
The bathroom is gross. But if you can look past that, it is an ok place to hang out if you are feeling grunge-y. -

You can't go wrong with Bluedog on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, or Wednesday... Monday is a little dead.
Seriously though, from grilled cheese sandwiches every Thursday night to a free keg every Sunday starting at 10, this place truly gives back to the customers. The music is very dope (mostly electro), but what else would you expect from a bar owned by the Team Canada DJs (Grand Theft and DR 1). The main problem with this place is that I've gotten so comfortable with it that I rarely go anywhere else (does that bias show a little?)
Anyway, definitely a safe bet for a good night.
