Replying to In Montreal the weekend of the 17th need bar suggestions

Hi kids and young adults such as myself.  I come from the land of golden opportunity that is California(also the land budget problems), specifically San Francisco.  I will be in Montreal next weekend and have never been.  My job is sending me there for some training for a couple of days and I figured skiers know how to drink shitty beer which is what I like to do here in SF.  My co worker (who also skis) and I will be staying near the University of Montreal.   I've heard there is a street with all of bars that makes drinking fairly easy but would like first hand suggestions if at all possible.  If any of you are down to kick it for a night let me know.
