Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, this English-style pub offers a warm and inviting atmosphere amid pleasant surroundings. The decor is traditional and designed to make you feel like you are in London. In keeping with the theme, there is plenty of imported beer on tap and the menu presents a variety of pub fare from hearty soups to fish and chips. Once the meal is over, you can indulge in a friendly game of pool or toss a few darts.
Sometimes all it takes is a well-equipped bar, a pool table, and sprightly music to help one unwind with ease, and that's exactly what Barfly has to offer. And by the looks of how this bar-cum-live entertainment venue manages to attract the crowds, it seems there are more than a few who go by that rule. With a very practical, unpretentious, and basic ambiance of hockey posters, blue walls and a pastel red floor, you can be sure that this bar does not aim to please you with frivolity, but rather aims to hook you with its live music performances by excellent country, blues, reggae, rock, pop, indie, jazz and metal bands.
There's no dearth of fabulous gay bars in Montreal's Ville-Marie, so what distinguishes Le Stud from the rest? Perhaps it is the bar's gorgeous, all male clientele, or perhaps it is the effortlessly eclectic ambiance that thrives here that draws in the crowds. Le Stud started out with the simple aim of being a place for "men who love men", an idea that is integral to everything about this place. While the vibe is friendly and laid-back, the decor favors a dark, mysterious and sultry style, a balance that is rare and hard to achieve. The music is always great, the drinks are delicious and the parties are wild, with themed nights, pool tournaments and special events galore. During the day, though. Le Stud is simply a great place to enjoy a casual drink with friends.
While most gay bars seem to attract a rather rambunctious crowd, L'Aigle Noir boasts a relaxed and laid-back vibe that pervades every corner, attracting a more eclectic clientele. Gorgeous men in form-fitting attire mingle with their macho and leather-clad counterparts as the fabulous DJ gets the party going. The drinks are strong and the beer is cheap, perfect for a night out with friends. L'Aigle Noir is a great place to meet new people, or to simply hang out with a group of friends, play a game of pool and enjoy a few drinks before heading to the dance floor to strut your stuff.
Brasserie Cherrier is the epitome of a locals' bar. Friendly, laid-back and invitingly passe, the bar attracts an eclectic clientele with a winning combination of cold beer, sports and pool. What Brasserie Cherrier lacks in contemporary style, it more than makes up for in charm, as attested by the bar's loyal clientele. You won't find any frill or fancy names on the menu, but if what you crave is a cold beer, sports on TV and the freedom to cheer as loud as you please, then Brasserie Cherrier is the place for you.
This plush lounge is popular among upscale 20-somethings and lovers of local bands and DJs. The main room is outfitted like a British pub with certain retro touches, and customers are as likely to order an imported British or Irish pint as they are the more obvious martini or mixed drink. The other room is where live bands play on Fridays, and where you can shoot a dignified game of pool. On summer nights, music wafts through the open windows onto the wonderful terrace.
