About a dozen craft brewed beers are on tap at any one time at Dieu du Ciel! (loosely translated as "Oh my god!"), ranging from an amber hemp beer to a hoppy IPA to a chocolaty stout to a seasonal absinthe and fennel ale. The place has a neighborhood bar atmosphere (friendly and casual) with a brewpub philosophy (lots of unique, excellent beers).

A three-floor brewpub with a wide fan base, Brutopia keeps five year-round beers on tap and three seasonal options. Among the year-round options are a classic IPA, a nut brown ale and a raspberry blonde; seasonal brews range from porters and stouts to Scotch ale and cream ale. Live music several nights a week, plus trivia night on Mondays, keep...

There's a saying that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. It's not a stretch to add "and in an Irish pub" to that statement. At the Irish Embassy, the mood is always cheerful and the Guinness is always poured just right. Live music is scheduled Thursday-Sunday. Food is a bit more upscale than you'll find at most pubs and with a little more of...

Address: 809, rue Ontario est, Montréal, QC H2L 1P1
This pub has been unchanged for more than half a century and brews its own beer on site. A great place to listen to the latest music and discuss art, philosophy or politics.

Address: 1219A University, Montréal, QC H3B 3A7
More than a dozen beers on tap, tasty and filling pub grub and a convivial atmosphere make the Old Dublin one of Montréal's most popular hangouts. It's been around since 1978, so it obviously does something right! There's live music every night of the week, and the warm, woody atmosphere makes it easy to lose a few hours here. Along with good...

Although it likes to call itself a dive bar, Madhatter is really quite a bit nicer than the average beer-swilling den! For one thing they have a great rooftop terrace (absent from the vast majority of true dives). They also have an actual theme – Alice in Wonderland – which is trippy and fun. Then there's the beer selection and the prices: about...

Address: 250, ave Pine est, Montréal, QC H2W 1P3
A wonderful wine list with several organic choices, live jazz, comfy mod décor in shades of orange, green and brown that recalls the late 60s – what more could you ask from a wine bar? Well, Pop! Also has some cute but tasty "Poptails" and even offers olive oil tastings. Patrice Demers, formerly with the much-lauded Laloux, is the chef, which...

Address: 3515 St Laurent, Montréal, QC H2X 2T6
The Shed is more restaurant than bar during the day and early evening. The menu takes an international approach: you can have pizza, tapas, burgers or a stir fry, all of which are tasty and affordable. The kitchen stays open late but once the usual dinner hour passes, the vibe gets decidedly livelier as the lights get dimmer. Considered a Montréal...
Sir Winston Churchill Pub Complex
Category: Bars - Montréal Nightlife
Address: 1459, rue Crescent, Montréal, QC H3G 2B2
This complex has been a mainstay on Crescent Street since 1967, and helped usher in the nightlife for which the area has become famous. In addition to two outdoor terraces overlooking Crescent, there are three floors, each with its own distinct personality: the cozy Sir Winston Churchill Pub, the more upscale Winnies Bar and Restaurant, and a...
