Going to Montreal, which Pubs should I hit?

[GreenLantern]

I see four types of IPA's on that list, I must go.

I mapped out a route for us to get to the three that are all very close to each other, it involves taking the Metro to Berri, then walking a few blocks to Rue Saint Denis, hitting Saint Bock. Then heading west to L'Amere, then back 1/2 block and north to Cheval Blanc. I might just cut out the last one and then cab from L'Amere to Dieu. Comparing the beer lists I really like what I see there compared to the others, although they all sound great.

I think we can manage that in a day if we start at about 4 PM.. gives us 2 hours at each place + travel time. This legendary burger joint throws a wrench into the plans though..

That's where you get food to keep going, soak up some alcohol to allow for an early start AND a late night.

You can easily manage that in a day. Once you start heading up to Dieu du Ciel, you can walk a bit up St. Denis or St. Laurent, both streets are great and have a lot of life on them (if the weather is good). Once you get tired of walking, hail a cab or hop the metro.

If you're doing this on Sunday, I think La Paryse is closed anyway (it's a small family run place so they have weird hours), so I wouldn't worry about it. You could always get a smoked meat at Schwartz's anyway, which is also legendary and between the Latin Quarter and Dieu du Ciel.

But what I don't have booked or planned, are the pubs!!!

I have two afternoons and one evening to kill, I need to find the good beer my sons...

Also, which place in your experience had the best poutine?

Debate.

Friends of mine and I are looking at going in March. What clubs are you looking at going to, have booked, how much was bottle service?

((( STEREO )))

After hours club. There isn't really anything like stumbling out of a club in downtown Montreal at 10 in the morning.

St. Sulpice without a doubt

St. Elizabeth if the back courtyard is still open.

Montreal is such an amazing town. I honestly think, short of Manhattan, there is no cooler or fun place in North America. Not Chicago, not Miami, not LA, nothing.
