One of the best winter spa experiences in my life. Hands down.

Gorgeous people, style and flair, amazing music, everyone is dancing (i mean EVERYONE).  It's like heaven.  I wish this place was in Vegas, New York and LA.

If your are a wall fly, do not even think about it.

And if you get a table, get ones by the…More »

After several trips over the past few years, I've FINALLY found a reason to brave the winter in Montreal, hockey season.*

More specifically, Sharks hockey.

Had the pleasure of going to the game in December, teal Big Pavelski robe and everything. Even…More »

Definitely up there among my favourite terrasse spots for 5-a-7.

The mojito variations are amazing (equal parts lime and mint with anything-but Flor de Cana).

The top deck is perfect. Very well laid out. Lots of space for loud and inappropriate happy…More »

These reviews mystify me.  

This place is great.   As are just about every place in Montreal.  Lots of non-quebecers too so if your Québécoise needs a little work, it's a good place to start and work up your confidence before tackling Ballroom Bar or…More »

Best Poutine I've had in Montreal.  Hands down.

I've tried everything from the vegi to the t-rex.  It's all amazing.

Don't forget to grab some vinegar for your to-go orders.

There is nothing not to like about this place.

great location next to the University.  

very affordable drinks.  (haven't tried to food, but the selection is fairly basic, pizza, calamari, wings, etc.).

The patio in the back is completely walled in with…More »

If you need to watch World Cup or if you are braving the cold winter and want some company for a hockey game, this is the place.

The pub burger with goat cheese is insanely good.  

PS: the bartenders and servers are really nice.

I'm used to places in Lake Tahoe to which night skiing is an afterthought.

Not the case here. Not only is it nestled near a beautiful little ski town, but the fun doesn't have to stop at 3 PM. They keep two and half mountain faces open for skiing.

If you're craving any kind of sports action, you can find it here on a few TVs.  If there is hockey being played anywhere in the world...you can find it on about 12 TVs. It's heaven.

The beer selection is great and cheap and the the RIBS ARE INSANE.…More »

Like any club, it's better to be VIP/know the owners.

That being said, I had an amazing night here and we were very well taken care of.

And as with all clubs I've been to in Montreal, the music was better, the women hotter, and the dance floor full…More »

Beats the duty free shop any day (and with the way the…More »

This place has some incredible rolls.  The Sexy Cucu is wrapped in cucumber and there's one for dessert with fresh strawberry that tastes like some magical combination between sushi and a funnel cake.

The owner is also a huge fan of San Francisco and…More »

If you are missing San Francisco, or the High Heel Drag Race in DC, you will have a really good time at Sky's surprisingly good drag review.  

Honestly, it's sad that unlike the great "gay" clubs in places like DC and NYC, the straights in Montreal…More »
