Else's is always chill and cozy, dark, yummy and badass in a punk mamma full of community love kind of way. It's at its best in the winter right after a big snow. The small corner it sits on is the perfect place to watch the coordinated massive…More »
Service is always spacey but sexy, food and beer are fine and reasonably priced, free wifi, nice sunken spot with giant windows on St Laurent corner Duluth (lovely) with constantly great music from local djs. Bonus, sit here for hours drinking…More »

Wonderful addition to the Jean Talon Market neighbourhood! This 'Pub Festif' has a ground-level covered patio on the north side of the market, and a second floor with wide open windows overlooking the sprawling vegetable stalls and nearby church…More »
This place has always had a special spot in my heart and in the hearts of most locals, it's old and rambly and comfortable like a real Irish pub ought to be. The layout, wrapping around the sunken level (my favourite) out to the terrasses and up to…More »
They have started doing the occasional live show on the bowling alleys, and were just voted "3rd Best Lesbian Bar" in the Best of Montreal Poll. The food and cocktails are still good, varying to great depending on who is cooking or behind the bar.…More »

Waverly is in a former brothel, former karaoke bar/rock venue, resurrected from Montreal's notoriously loud and sexy past. Now it's looking modern, clean, bright and comfortable - the best change to the space is the wide open floor-to-ceiling windows…More »
This is high heaven in my books: long chalkboard list of locally brewed beers, delicious smoked meat sandwiches, big satisfying nacho plates and sausages, sunny wooden tables by the window on St Laurent in Little Italy next to a kids park, leafy…More »
Unexpected spot! Climb 3 flights of institutionally-flavoured stairs to find it, and once you're there the feeling of floating above and outside rue St Catherine makes for a nice escape. 6$ for a nice big scotch and soda and a smile. The wait staff…More »

Nice decor, tasty savoury small plates, extensive bar, and yet something seems to be missing for me. On Bernard the prices seem a little off for the neighborhood. They are clearly proud of what they do at L'Assommoir on Bernard to the point of…More »
Totally enjoyable pub in a land of pubs! The company was excellent - hilarious savvy yelpers, Spins and Needles party masters, and my aunt and uncle, all together at last. =) We ended up holding down this fort for like 5 hours, long enough to get…More »

Yep I'm gonna go with A-OK. It should have everything going for it, homemade beer, an emphasis throughout the menu on local fresh product, nice wide windows so you can sit right on Bernard near Parc Ave, not too dim or bright, local and nice imports…More »
Casa is 2 rooms now, one is tables and couches, tasty nachos and sandwiches, zine library - a pretty, ramshackle, dim, perfect space for thinking, drinking, drawing and eating vegetarian tasty inexpensive eats. The second room is a dedicated…More »
This is the original Ye Old Orchard and though they've opened 2 or 3 other locations it's still held on to the original quality and mellow vibe and remained a great local NDG pub. Doesn't feel cold or commercial or dirty or dark, it sits in the…More »
