Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grille |

Description:
A reputation for terrific Continental (especially Spanish) cuisine and a desire to book talented musicians has earned Upstairs a loyal following and a growing clientele. The restaurant serves flavorful dishes that mix the smokiness of grilled meats and seafood with liqueur-tinged sauces, fresh vegetables and the sweetness of lush fruits. The relaxed atmosphere is also conducive to great jazz artists, both local and international. At times, you'll also find R&B performers and other styles of music. While you listen to the rhythmic, seductive tones, make sure to enjoy a glass from their wine cellar, or sample a single-malt scotch. Fantastic food and entertainment in one place – what could be better? |

Foufounes Electriques |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |

|
 |
| |
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. |

Les Deux Pierrots |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |
|
104, rue St-Paul est, Montréal H2Y 1G6 514-861-1270
|
|
Distance:
~1.417 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
For a real taste of local flavor, head over to this neighborhood pub, which has been an area favorite for many years. People congregate here for drinks (beer especially!) and socializing, and it's a great place to meet people. Another perk is the terrific local music that you'll find. Québécois singers serenade the crowd with folk and pop tunes, and everything is sung in French. Much of the conversation happens in French, too. Still, don't let that stop you from coming. You don't have to dress up, and everyone's very friendly; even a non-French speaker may have one of the best evenings of their trip. Outdoor patio available during warm weather. |

Le Divan Orange |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |

4234, boul St-Laurent, Montréal H2W 1Z3 514-840-9090
|
|
Distance:
~2.313 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
Le Divan Orange occupies a vast space divided into sections: guests are greeted with a spread of couches which segue into a bar area and finally a stage at the very back. It's an inviting space with an equally inviting atmosphere. The food menu is excellent, with nachos, upscale sandwiches and salads, and other non-standard bar eats. And the music line-up is wonderfully eclectic, with appearances from singer-songwriters, local funk bands, blues and rock groups, indie musicians, and even choirs and hip-hop acts. The crowd varies depending on what's scheduled, but the vibe is always comfortable. |

Distance:
~3.745 km * |
|

 |
| |
Description:
Here's a great place for indie-types. The schedule includes DJs and regional musicians playing anything from rock and folk to new wave and punk. Affordable and laid-back, it's popular with students, starving artists (and the not-starving variety, as well) and other creative, cerebral folks. The space was once a strip club, and the décor pays homage to that fact with velvet curtains and so on. |
