10Best Bars

(Nightlife - Bars)
8, rue Cul de Sac Quartier Petite-Champlain, Québec  G1K 8L4 • 418-692-1320

        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. Crunchy munchies and hot music make this a must for those looking for a carefree place to unwind and call it a day.

Cosmos Café
(Nightlife - Bars)
575, Grand-allée est, Québec  G1R 2K4 • 418-640-0606
Distance: ~229 m *
        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. The action at Cosmos starts early every day, with excellent breakfasts drawing crowds of early morning risers and still-up-from-the-night-before partiers. And it's no wonder – the menu has over 40 options, from pancakes and omelettes to fruit and yogurt. Throughout the day, food is of the "comfort" variety: pizza, burgers, and yummy homestyle desserts. The somewhat dorky (yet charming!) sci-fi décor seems more appropriate once the sun goes down – the vibe gets noticeably funkier, attracting a bevy of college students and young professionals who celebrate into the wee hours.

        Description: VIEUX QUEBEC. If you want to sample excellent local brews, this is the place to do so. Located in the Old Port area, this homey brewpub is a popular after-work destination for area business-types. Inside, you'll find an inviting, pub-style atmosphere conducive to hanging out and tossing back a few, although the highlight of this watering hole is definitely its spacious terrace – a great place to watch river traffic go by, especially at night. Not just your run-of-the-mill, beer-slinging dive, this microbrewery also caters to the needs of connoisseurs by offering such delightful snackables as artisanal cheeses.

Le Drague
(Nightlife - Bars)
815, rue Saint-Augustin, Québec  G1R 1X1 • 418-649-7212
Distance: ~0.935 km *
        Description: SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. A multi-level club with three distinct spaces, this always-busy nightspot offers a variety of options, from drag shows to video poker to dancing. Le Drague is at the center of Québec's lively gay scene, and a portion of the club is designated "men only," but the rest is open to all, and the staff and clientele are friendly and welcoming. Catch an entertaining show or join in the karaoke fun in the cabaret upstairs, then head down to the disco, where a resident DJ spins house and techno for an appreciative and energetic audience.

Bar le Temps Partiel
(Nightlife - Bars)
698, rue d'Aiguillon, Québec  GIR IM5 • 418-522-1001
Distance: ~1.091 km *
        Description: SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. Taking over where the Atomic Ant left off, Temps Partiel continues the cooperative approach with exhibits of local art and a roster of local and regional bands. When there's not a band, DJs spin a variety of alternative music, from punk and metal to goth and indie. The crowd varies from night to night depending on the music, but you can count on finding the coolest, most alternative Québecers here. Call ahead to see what's on the night you plan to attend.

Société Cigare
(Nightlife - Bars)
575, Grand-allée est Chez Maurice, Québec  G1R 2K4 • 418-647-2000
Distance: ~1.146 km *
        Description: SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. Few places embrace cigar aficionados like the popular Société Cigare, located at Chez Maurice. Boasting the city's largest selection of Cuban cigars, their walk-in humidor is the stuff of local lore. In the summer, smokers tend to congregate on the terrace outside and puff away as the traffic on Grand-allée goes by. Most nights, the bar features live blues or jazz.

Le Fou Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
525, rue St-Jean, Québec  G1R 1P5 • 418-522-1987
Distance: ~1.255 km *
        Description: SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. That little voice in the back of your head may disagree, but go ahead and walk into this narrow Rue Saint-Jean dive, where locals gather to hang out, watch the tube and check out daily beer specials. Note the old stone fireplace and the interesting juxtaposition of stone and red-brick walls, making it seem as though you're actually between two different buildings. The décor is, at best, offbeat – but cozily so, including church house style flooring, groovy lighting and a foosball table that may have arrived with the first settlers. Best of all are the beers on tap, including St. Ambroise Noire and Griffon (make sure you say "Grrrriffon!" when you order).
