Located on St Denis off of Blvd Mont Royal, this bar is located in the hip neighborhood of Le Plateau. My friend and I knew nothing of this bar, we just happened to walk by on a Friday night and it looked fun and unintimidating.
It's a long bar with a D shaped bar in the way back. Plenty of high and low top seating and a stage next to the entrance. We ordered a cidre and Pinot Noir, then grabbed a seat. Half way through our first drink the bouncer came around collecting $10 for the live music. Two bands played. Both very different, but both entertaining in their own way. We continued to drink into the night and had a great time.
FYI, If you're not Canadian and run out of cash, use a credit card with a chip. Apparently this bar wasn't allowed to accept cards wo one. Lots of ATMs in the vicinity, so it wasn't a prob.
