Unwind after an exhaustive day at Le Sainte-Élisabeth which is known to offer a plethora of drinks on their beverage list. You can choose from the variety of in-house brews or opt for the internationally acclaimed spirits. In case you feel hungry, the bar pampers your palate with a delightful small-plate menu. The cozy interiors of the bar are warmly decorated and feature a fireplace and make it an ideal spot for catching up with your loved ones over a few drinks. The bar also has a great terrace surrounded with beautiful greenery, making it a unique seating area. Essentially sitting at the bottom of a six-story hole, it is ensconced in ivy and is a venue for hosting live music performances at the patio, which makes it even more appealing.
A wild and woolly bar in the middle of the rue St-Denis strip, this stone-walled, cavern-like space is supplemented by rollicking terraces in the front and rear. The eclectic live music schedule features everything from indie, punk and garage rock, to country, jazz and the blues, drawing in scores of late 20-somethings in from the sidewalk. Upscale and bohemian all at once, the largely French crowd really lets it hang out on summer weekend nights, when a small cover charge is occasionally in effect.
For a nice evening of delicious Mediterranean cuisine head down to Modavie. Housed in a prime location, enter this cozy restaurant which is complete with wooden furnishings and tables set close to each other. The bar is large and stacked with bottles of wine, single-malt scotches and assorted wines. The entire space is neat, illuminated by the tiny overhead lights and has a welcoming ambiance thanks to the flowers in almost every corner of the room. The food is also a big hit, with lamb being a major favorite here and bison or tiger shrimp in Grand Marnier sauce being other specialties. With live jazz concerts featured six nights a week, you can be assured of an entertaining gastronomic affair.

If you thought an only-vegetarian restaurant would be boring and bland, then do think again. Casa Del Popolo, translated as 'The House of the People', serves up vegetarian delights that will satisfy even a meat lover. Try their Vege Pate or Spicy Tofu, and let the healthy goodness transcend you to the other, greener, side. However, if vegetarian food is a strict no-no, then never mind, because they do have a wide selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and a fine program of events. Call to know more.
