So a group of 6 of us (3 men, 3 women) came to this club dressed to the nines at 2am ready to throw down.

perhaps this would be my american self talking, but in my experience, when you wait in line to go to a bar, they let you into the bar in the…More »

After calling about 10 places at 9pm on a Saturday night trying to get reservations for 9 people an hour and a half later, Le Continental was the first place to hook us up with a large ad hoc reservation.

Some of us arrived earlier than others so we…More »

cool ambiance, great music, just could've used more room on the dance floor - twas a little jam-packed for my taste.  all in all a good time, and without a cover, certainly recommend checking out!

This place is not for the faint of heart.  It's also not for the dancer who actually enjoys real music.  It IS for the dancer who needs to twirl on a stripper pole, get high on X, or bump and grind with a 45-year-old tranny.  Yikes!

my new favorite store!  it's one of the hippest used/vintage/consignment stores i've ever seen.  the best part is swimming through the sea of hanging bras, or perhaps just finding cool unique but still totally affordable clothing you can't find…More »

Always a line, and there's a reason.

Nothing beats it.  It tastes like corned beef cuz they use allspice berries, but it's smoked so it's more tender than regular deli-style corned beef.  It could benefit from better bread, knowledge that mustard…More »

ok, so i will start off by saying that i am not typically a club girl, and i am also not a hipster.

thing is, i love to dance, but as an indie girl it's hard for me to find a place where i like the music and don't think the clientele is sleazy.

I tend to not be too into chain restaurants, but anything that involves fresh cheesecurds typically has me sold.  I had yet to try a legit Poutine in Montreal, and Frite Alors seemed like the place to go.

With a few Veggies in our crowd, we were…More »

Came here late with a group of 6 - atmosphere was certainly unique - sleek but rugged, and the servers dressed in black and white plaid.  I like the way that Emma B describes it ("urban take on barn-like chic").

We were given the late-night menu,…More »

if you're visiting and you need to get around Montreal, Bixi's the way to do it.

parked all over the city, you pick up a bike where you are, drop it off where you go - you don't need to return to the same spot you picked it up from (which is why it's…More »
