10Best Bars
Madhatter
(Nightlife - Bars)
1208 Rue Crescent, Montréal  H3G 2B1 • 514-987-9988
Distance: ~0.667 km *
        Description: Although it likes to call itself a dive bar, Madhatter is really quite a bit nicer than the average beer-swilling den! For one thing they have a great rooftop terrace (absent from the vast majority of true dives). They also have an actual theme – Alice in Wonderland – which is trippy and fun. Then there's the beer selection and the prices: about 20 beers on tap, at starving-artist-friendly prices. Burgers, sandwiches and the like are available, and DJs spin crowd-pleasing tunes once the night gets going.

Sir Winston Churchill Pub Complex
(Nightlife - Bars)
1459 Rue Crescent, Montréal  H3G 2B2 • 514-288-3814
Distance: ~0.740 km *
        Description: This complex has been a mainstay on Crescent Street since 1967, and helped usher in the nightlife for which the area has become famous. In addition to two outdoor terraces overlooking Crescent, there are three floors, each with its own distinct personality: the cozy Sir Winston Churchill Pub, the more upscale Winnies Bar and Restaurant, and a stylish dance club/lounge called Karina. In the pub, enjoy a game of pool or darts and a pint of your favorite beer, a pitcher of sangria or a cocktail. If it's food you're after, try Winnies Bar and Restaurant, where you'll find a great selection of traditional and international fare (the same menu is offered in the pub). Finally, there's Karina, a sleek space where world class DJs keep the grooves coming into the wee hours.

Grumpy's
(Nightlife - Bars)
1242 Rue Bishop, Montréal  H3G 1S6 • 514-866-9010
Distance: ~0.766 km *
        Description: The bartenders here regularly win "Best of..." awards in the local press – people just love them. And that makes for one happy, friendly, laid back crowd of regulars. The vibe differs from night to night, depending on what's scheduled – you might hear 80s favorites, an open-mic session, jazz, blues or rock. Reliable and fun.

Foufounes Electriques
(Nightlife - Bars)
87 Rue Ste-Catherine Est, Montréal  H2X 1K5 • 514-844-5539
Distance: ~1.238 km *
        Description: For those not into the usual club scene, Les Foufs is the perfect alternative. The three-floor space has pool tables, dance floors, a stage for bands, a booth for DJs and a patio. The ground floor is your basic pub; upstairs, there's a cover charge for bands and DJ-led theme nights. The real difference here, aside from the lack of pretension and the wildly diverse crowd, is the music: punk, metal, hardcore, emo – if it's "alternative" you'll hear it here.

Café Campus
(Nightlife - Bars)
57 Rue Prince Arthur Est, Montréal  H2X 2Y3 • 514-844-1010
Distance: ~1.595 km *
        Description: This venue features great live concerts from top independent bands and performers. Depending on the night, you'll find blues music or a variety of other genres. The décor isn't elaborate, but the music more than compensates. It's a fantastic place to come with friends, nurse a beer, and enjoy the sounds of the talented performers. The club also offers great DJ-mixed dance music that's popular with locals and tourists alike.

(Nightlife - Bars)
4177 Rue St-Denis, Montreal  H2W 2M7 • 514-845-8717
Distance: ~2.495 km *
        Description: THE PLATEAU. Tired of clubs with a hefty cover charge and expensive drinks? Then head to La Shop, where the drinks are easy on the wallet. Attracting mainly a younger crowd, La Shop has a dance floor with DJs Tuk and Tigerwolf spinning pop, top 40, electro, and classic tunes.

Bily Kun
(Nightlife - Bars)
354 Ave du Mont-Royal Est, Montreal  H2J 2L1 • 514-845-5392
Distance: ~2.813 km *
        Description: Reveling in its kitschy-stylish décor, Bily Kun is about as unpretentious a spot as you'll find anywhere. The vibe has been called "electric" but it's not a high-energy club by any means – people come here to relax. Absinthe and beer are the quaffs of choice, and live jazz is on the schedule a few nights a week. Word of warning: the rather infamous ostrich heads may take some getting used to!

Brasserie Artisanal Dieu du Ciel!
(Nightlife - Bars)
29 Ave Laurier Ouest, Montreal  H2T 2N2 • 514-490-9555
Distance: ~3.127 km *
        Description: About a dozen craft brewed beers are on tap at any one time at Dieu du Ciel! (loosely translated as "Oh my god!"), ranging from an amber hemp beer to a hoppy IPA to a chocolaty stout to a seasonal absinthe and fennel ale. The place has a neighborhood bar atmosphere (friendly and casual) with a brewpub philosophy (lots of unique, excellent beers).

Whisky Café
(Nightlife - Bars)
5800 Blvd St-Laurent, Montréal  H2T 1T4 • 514-278-2646
Distance: ~4.001 km *
        Description: Aficionados and novices alike find plenty to love at this stylish lounge. The selection of whiskey is truly astounding – if the plethora of choices makes your head spin, opt for a sampler. Or try a tasting of grappas instead. Alternatively, you could luxuriate in a pairing of champagne and foie gras, ice wine and chocolate, or porto and cheese. There's a separate cigar lounge, as well. This is the place to celebrate the good life.
