Hockey, beer and food are three staples of the cold season. The much loved Bob le chef gives us his suggestions of places to go to enjoy a great game night.
Good pizza, a glass of wine and a hockey game: what could be better than watching a hockey game in a good restaurant? It will appeal to both men AND women. The lasagna is a "must" - one of the best in town!
If you've studied at Quebec’s Institut de Tourisme et d'Hôtellerie, you've spent time at the Brasserie Cherrier. The pool table, cheap beer and eclectic clientele make this frozen-in-time establishment a go-to on game nights.
Located near UQAM and CEGEP du Vieux-Montréal, the Abreuvoir's atmosphere is, how can we put it ... very noisy. A nice, good and cheap menu makes it easy to stick around for the entire game, and is the perfect accompaniment to your pitcher of beer.
Hockey fans, here is your Holy Grail (after the Stanley Cup, obviously). A noisy and fan-filled atmosphere, and people who celebrate by dancing on the bar and riding a mechanical bull make me say that you haven’t watched a hockey game if you haven't been to chez Serge. Go Habs Go!
If you like hockey and a friendly atmosphere, you will love St-Sacrement. It offers a great menu, including chicken wings sold by the kilo or half kilo, which are among the best when you want to mix the fun of watching a game and the pleasure of great food.
Le Pourvoyeur is one of my favourites, and I come here on a regular basis. I love the menu, the team and especially the choice of gins and cocktails offered. Eating homemade mini-pogos and watching a Canadiens win – I can’t imagine a better scenario for a nice evening!
The taverne Chez Normand has a well-established place in the hearts of CH fans. A frenzied atmosphere, cold beer and an entirely new menu make Chez Normand one of my favourite places to watch a game.
Located in the heart of the Plateau, le Barraca offers a huge selection of rum and a simple yet effective tapas menu. It broadcasts games without the sound on, preferring the soundtrack laid down by the resident DJ's. This is the perfect place to bring a date and watch the game from the corner of your eye. ;)
