It’s easy to recognize the time of day when hundreds – if not thousands – of workers flock to restaurants to celebrate Montreal’s workday special, the 5 à 7. It’s a precious after-work tradition that could simply be described as happy hour, but with a Montreal touch that makes all the difference. Either sit at the bar or join a group of friends, and leave the work-day stress at the door.
Consistently ranked among the world’s most party-oriented and festive cities, Montreal offers night time revellers a wide range of watering holes, ranging from fancy cocktail lounges to authentic dive bars. The plentiful options mean you don’t have to dip into next month’s rent to enjoy a cold and satisfying beer. Try these places for a great night out without emptying your pocket book.
