BUMP.

Only relevent thread I found on the search...

Me and my girlfriend are thinking about heading down for a weekend in November and were looking for some cool things to do. Were 22/23, enjoy the nightlife, drinking, partying, casino, raves, but during the day just want some fun things to do .. Basically just looking for a trendy young area of Montreal where we can find some cool things to do. I havent been in a few years and really the only thing I remember about the city was all the bars were on crescent street. Also, whatever it is needs to be english speaking, which shouldnt be an issue. Sort of the Queen St W, Toronto, but of Montreal. And also any specific ideas from you guys would be awesome! +K

didn't look too hard did you...

"


Best bars:
- Dieu du Ciel (my favorite)(laurier + st. urbain) Microbrewery, chill spot, good pint prices and the beer is unbeatable around
- resevoir (st laurent + duluth) - also a microbrewery, but a restaurent too. If you go for food or beer you will be happy - both are amazing. Great brunch, great lunch and great dinner. Or great for a pint. Great spot to take a girl even, my girlfriend and I like to go get pints there at night.
- La Distillerie (st denis + ontario) - if you mixed drinks this is the spot to go to. Go at happy hr (i think 4-8ish) for 1/2 price drinks. Huge drinks, massive massive drink list, and somewhere between a chill spot and a bumping bar. Sitting down kinda bar. You won't leave sober
- Barmacie (laurier + parc (ish, i forget the exact cross). Fancy cocktails, pretty happening lounge

Those are all good bars. If you want trashy clubs/that kinda scene, just walk up st. laurent and you'll find anyone. Belmont (mt royale and st laurent has great music). avoid places that are an obvious tourist trap

Food:
- Schwartzs smoked meat sandwich. a MUST. (st laurent + bagg)
- st viateur bagels (st viateur + parc). best bagels around. bring some home. it's not sit down. all they sell is bagels + cream cheese.
- romados - Portuguese rotisserie. Absolutely amazing. Get the 1/2 chicken plate, spicy. Big locals spot and you wont find tourists there. (Rachel + de bullion I believe) kinda a take out place.
- nice sit down resto: les enfants terribles (will need a reserveation). It's on bernard. Amazing amazing food. fancy place, bring a chick
- Also, Vallier in old montreal (rue mcgill just above notre dame). Great French Bistro
- Steak Frites (there are about 4 in town). Exactly what it sounds. BYO which is always nice.

Where to go: it's gonna be a beautiful day this weekend so walk up the mountain, head to the cross and check out the views they are stunning.
- walk around the plateau (if you look at a map, that's the area to the east of Mont Royale. generally bordered by st laurent, parc and laurier). This is the hipster ish part of town (similar to Brooklyn, but not as flash of course). Great cafes, bars, pedestrian streets, amazing food (most of the spots i mentioned are in the plateau)."

and look in the thread "some questions about Montreal".

Do you need me to hold your hand anymore or will you make it on your own...? I could suggest Montreal daycares if you want

Total hipster that answered you up there ^ ... Good suggestions on everything but forgot the clubs... You must hit the clubs on St laurent and on crescent... Check out Muzique, Ballroom, Radio Lounge, 1234, Tokyo, Rouge, 737
